The present application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2019/103630 filed on Aug. 30, 2019, which claims a priority to the Chinese patent application 201811086776.4 filed on Sep. 18, 2018, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technology, in particular to a positioning management method, a location management device, a Next-Generation (NG)-Radio Access Network (RAN) node, and a code network node.
Location Based Service (LBS) is a service for acquiring position information about a User Equipment (UE) via a wireless communication network or any other positioning system and then providing various information related to a position to a user in combination with a Geographic Information System (GIS). A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based outdoor positioning technology has been widely applied in various fields. Apart from this, a high-accuracy positioning technology based on a 4th-Generation (4G) mobile communication network has also effectively filled a gap of the navigation satellite system. Currently, the mobile communication network has entered a 5th-Generation (5G) era, so it is necessary to provide more concise and more efficient 5G positioning network architecture. As compared with 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) architecture, the 5G positioning network architecture shall meet a positioning demand at higher accuracy and lower delay.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a conventional 5G mobile communication system;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing conventional 5G radio protocol architecture;
FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing conventional 5G positioning network architecture;
In order to make the objects, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in a clear and complete manner in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
In order to solve the problem in a conventional positioning management scheme where the overall delay is highly demanded in the positioning service, the present disclosure provides in some embodiments a positioning management method for an NG-RAN node which, as shown in FIG. 4, includes: Step 41 of receiving a positioning request message from a core network node; Step 42 of performing positioning measurement in accordance with the positioning request message, so as to acquire a positioning measurement result; and Step 43 of acquiring position information about a target UE in accordance with the positioning measurement result, and feeding the position information back to the core network node.
According to the positioning management method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the positioning request message may be received from the core network node. Next, the positioning measurement may be performed in accordance with the positioning request message so as to acquire the positioning measurement result. Then, the position information about the target UE may be acquired in accordance with the positioning measurement result and fed back to the core network node. As a result, it is able to provide a concise and efficient positioning service in a better manner on the basis of a 5G or any other evolvable technology network, and meet the high-accuracy and low-delay positioning requirements on 5G positioning network architecture, thereby to create larger business value for the society.
