Portable terminal positioning measurment system and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to portable terminal positioning measurment system and method.
Background technology
Mobile location service in the Radio Network System more and more is subject to extensive concern, and it is mainly used and comprises: be used for the design of location trackings, individual positioning service (inquiry of the information such as the service industry such as traffic, lodging), intelligent transport location, Radio Network System of the emergency calling position service of user security, relevant criminal activity and resource management, for the charging (determining the communication cost of some position according to calling rate) of Radio Network System etc.
3G (Third Generation) Moblie tissue (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) the network assistance method (being also referred to as UE assisted localization method) of definition refers to: network sends auxiliary data to portable terminal, portable terminal is carried out location survey, and will send to network side with the measurement report of measurement result information, finally position a kind of method of calculating at network side; And based on network method (also claiming UE based localization method) refers to: network sends auxiliary data to portable terminal, portable terminal is carried out location survey, and calculate the positional information of portable terminal according to measurement result, finally a kind of method of calculating the result who obtains and sending to by measurement report network side; The location-independent method refers to: network does not provide supplementary to portable terminal, is finished alone a kind of method of location and acquisition positioning result by portable terminal.
Because existing 3GPP agreement Uu interface definition is indefinite, thereby may make UE (User equipment, subscriber equipment) receive the location survey request of network side after, error understanding network side radio network controller (RNC, Radio Network Controller) actual content of the location survey of request UE execution, finally can not satisfy the service quality (QoS, Quality of Service) of request, cause irrational processing.
The content that the stationkeeping ability information that the UE that defines in the 3GPP agreement reports comprises is as shown in table 1, as can be seen from Table 1, the parameter relevant with the localization method of UE support has: location-independent method, AGPS, OTDOA (IPDL), enhancing cell positioning method (supporting to receive the measurement of transmission time difference type 2) etc. have clear and definite whether support location-independent method item in this ability information.
The stationkeeping ability information that the UE that defines in the table 1:3GPP agreement reports
UE positions in the measurement control message of measurement in the RNC request, and the content of the localization method of request is as shown in table 2.
Table 2:RNC request UE positions the information of the locating measurement method in the message of measurement
Method type |
Enumeration type: UE is auxiliary, based on UE, based on UE preferentially but allow also that UE is auxiliary, UE is auxiliary preferentially but also allow based on UE |
Localization method |
Enumeration type: OTDOA, GPS, OTDOA or GPS, Cell ID |
The stationkeeping ability information that UE shown in associative list 1 and the table 2 reports and RNC request UE carry out the information of the locating measurement method of location survey and can find out, RNC sends in the Method type of measurement control message of UE and the localization method does not have location-independent method item, RNC can't set the request of independent gps position measurement, and UE can not be by the clear and definite location-independent method of when carrying out of the measurement control message of location survey.Because UE determines that by the measurement control message of location survey localization method positions measurement, so, if when UE finds oneself not have corresponding auxiliary data information, may initiate independently localization method measuring process.Because response time of location-independent method measuring process specifies response time of location survey process of localization method longer usually, therefore may cause RNC to can not get the location survey response at the appointed time and think and locate unsuccessfully.
In the location technology of existing running fix, when the location survey process need of portable terminal execution particular position determination was used the positioning assistance data of AGPS or OTDOA, network side sent auxiliary data information to UE and asks UE to carry out the location survey process of corresponding localization method.When network side can not obtain these auxiliary data informations, and portable terminal be can support that the location-independent method obtains positional information the time, and network side can ask portable terminal to carry out obtain to be positioned user's the positional information of location survey independently.
At present, in the 3GPP agreement in the stationkeeping ability information that UE reports, the localization method and the OTDOA that whether support location-independent have been defined, the localization methods such as AGPS, but at universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS, Universal Mobile TelecommunicationsSystem) land radio access web (UTRAN, UMTS Terrestrial Radio AccessNetwork) request UE positions in the Uu interface message of measurement, (the location-independent method of usually using has independent GPS location not ask UE to carry out the processing of location-independent method, owing to there is not network side that auxiliary data information is provided, the response time of this localization method is long than the response time of AGPS location), when like this so that UE can not clearly judge determines to adopt the location-independent method to carry out autonomous location survey, if because UE can not receive auxiliary data information and can't judge the location survey that will carry out the location-independent method, or carrying out the transmission measurement report asks it to resend auxiliary data to RNC, and then so that the processing of UE is uncertain, uncertain result may occur.
