Background
In the case where a public user enters a specific area such as a hospital, a railway station, an airport, or the like, it is sometimes necessary for the public user to use a position locating system within the area in order to achieve quick locating of the current position. Since the positioning authority of the public user needs to be authenticated by the LMF (Location Management Function, positioning management function) and the mobility of the public user is large, it is difficult for the LMF to identify to which public user the positioning authority should be opened, so that the public user cannot use the positioning system.
In the prior art, if the positioning service needs of some public users are to be satisfied, positioning rights need to be opened to all public users in the current area. In this case, however, all public user terminals will be located, but this approach involves privacy concerns. Alternatively, no positioning rights are opened for all public users of the current area. But in this case it may result in all public users not being able to use the location service. Thus, current location services are not able to meet the needs of different scenarios.

Detailed Description
For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles and advantages of embodiments of the application, reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the application, some but not all of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are intended to be within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.
The positioning service authorization method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a long term evolution system (long term evolution system, LTE), a fifth generation mobile communication system (5) th gereration, 5G), and next generation communication systems, such as 6G, etc. Referring to fig. 1, a communication system used in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The communication system comprises a terminal device, a network device and a positioning server.
The terminal equipment is equipment with a wireless communication function, can be deployed on land, and comprises indoor or outdoor, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on the water surface (such as ships, etc.); but may also be deployed in the air (e.g., on aircraft, balloon, satellite, etc.). The terminal device may be a mobile phone (mobile phone), a tablet computer (pad), a computer with a wireless transceiving function, a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control (industrial control), a wireless terminal device in unmanned driving (self driving), a wireless terminal device in remote medical (remote medical), a wireless terminal device in smart grid (smart grid), a wireless terminal device in transportation security (transportation safety), a wireless terminal device in smart city (smart city), a wireless terminal device in smart home (smart home), or the like; but also various forms of User Equipment (UE), mobile Station (MS). The following description will take a terminal device as an example.
The network device is a device that provides a wireless communication function for a terminal device, including but not limited to: a gNB in 5G, a radio network controller (radio network controller, RNC), a Node B (NB), a base station controller (base station controller, BSC), a base transceiver station (base transceiver station, BTS), a home base station (e.g., home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), a BaseBand Unit (BBU), a transmission point (transmitting and receiving point, TRP), a transmission point (transmitting point, TP), a mobile switching center, and the like. The base station in the present application may also be a device for providing a wireless communication function for the terminal in other communication systems that may occur in the future. The following description will take a network device as an example of a base station.
The positioning server is a network element for providing positioning services. For example, it may be a location management function network element (location management function, LMF). Hereinafter, an LMF will be described as an example of the location server.
Currently, the positioning server may open the positioning service, so that all terminal devices within the range covered by the network device may use the positioning service, or may not open the positioning service, so that all terminal devices within the range covered by the network device cannot use the positioning service.
However, if the location service is not opened, it may result in that the terminal device that wants to open the location service cannot use the location service. If the location service is opened, since all terminal devices within the coverage area of the network device can open the location service, private information may be revealed.
In view of this, the embodiment of the application provides a positioning service authorization method. In the method, the network device can broadcast system information, and the system information can carry positioning function indication information. After receiving the system information, the terminal device can determine that the network device can provide positioning service according to the positioning function indication information. Therefore, the terminal device can determine whether to start the positioning service according to the requirement. Based on the scheme, the positioning service can be independently authorized aiming at all terminals in the coverage range of the network equipment, so that the requirements of different users can be met, and the privacy of the users is ensured.
Referring to fig. 2, an exemplary flowchart of a positioning authorization method according to an embodiment of the present application may include the following operations.
S11: the base station broadcasts system information.
Correspondingly, the terminal receives the system information.
The system information may carry positioning function indication information, where the positioning function indication information may indicate that the base station is capable of providing positioning service, such as providing 5G positioning service. In a possible case, the positioning function indication information may be carried by a field newly added in the system information, or the positioning function indication information may be carried by a field existing in the multiplexed system information, which is not limited in the present application.
In one example, the location function indication information may be an identification. If the system information carries the identification, the terminal considers that the base station can provide the positioning service. If the system information does not carry the identification, the terminal considers that the base station cannot provide the positioning service.
In another example, the positioning function indication information may be 1-bit information. For example, when the 1-bit information is "0", it indicates that the base station cannot provide the positioning service, and when the 1-bit information is "1", it indicates that the base station can provide the positioning service. Otherwise, when the 1-bit information is "0", the base station is indicated to be able to provide positioning service, and when the 1-bit information is "1", the base station is indicated to be unable to provide positioning service.
S12: and the terminal receives an instruction for starting the positioning service, which is triggered by the user.
In one example, if the system message in S11 carries positioning function indication information, the terminal may determine that the base station is capable of providing the positioning service. In this way, the terminal may inform the user whether the base station is capable of providing the location service, and the user selects whether to trigger the start of the location service. If the user selects to trigger the opening of the positioning service, the terminal can receive an instruction of opening the positioning service, which is triggered by the user.
For example, the terminal may inform the user that the base station is able to provide the location service by displaying a location service icon on the display interface. Referring to fig. 3, in case that the system message in S11 carries positioning function indication information, the terminal may display a positioning service icon of the left display interface 1 in the display interface. If the user wants to start the positioning service, the user can click on the positioning service icon, and the terminal can receive the instruction of clicking on the positioning icon by the user and display the positioning service switch on the right side in the display interface. Optionally, the location service switch is turned on or off by default, and the present application is not particularly limited. The user may turn the location services switch on or off by clicking on the location services switch. If the user wants to start the positioning service, the positioning service switch can be started, and the terminal can receive an instruction triggered by the user to start the positioning service.
Optionally, in the case that the system message in S11 carries the positioning function indication information, the terminal may directly display the positioning service switch as shown in the right display interface 2, which is not specifically limited in the present application.
It should be noted that, fig. 3 is only an exemplary illustration of informing the user that the base station can provide the positioning service by the terminal, and the terminal may also inform the user that the base station can provide the positioning service by other manners, such as displaying a popup window, a virtual key in a display interface, and the application is not limited specifically.
In addition, the above-mentioned manner of opening the location service by the user is described by taking the case that the user clicks the location service switch as an example, in practice, the user may also open the location service by other manners, for example, the user may open the location service by voice instructions through a voice assistant function of the terminal, or the user may open the location service by specific operations on the terminal, such as double clicking a power key/volume key, etc., which is not limited in this application.
Alternatively, if the user does not want to start the positioning service, no operation may be performed, and the terminal does not receive the instruction to start the positioning service.
S13: the terminal sends the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information to the LMF.
Correspondingly, the LMF receives the identification of the terminal and the positioning service authorization information.
The location authorization service information is used for indicating the LMF to authorize the location service to the terminal. In one example, the location service authorization information may be an identification, such as a location enabling identification. If the terminal sends a location enabling identity to the LMF, the LMF may be considered to need to authorize location services to the terminal. In another example, the location service authorization information may be 1-bit information. And when the 1-bit information is '0', the LMF is indicated not to authorize the positioning service to the terminal, and when the 1-bit information is '1', the LMF is indicated to authorize the positioning service to the terminal. Otherwise, when the 1-bit information is '0', the LMF is instructed to authorize the positioning service to the terminal, and when the 1-bit information is '1', the LMF is instructed not to authorize the positioning service to the terminal.
In a possible scenario, the terminal may send the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information directly to the LMF. In another possible scenario, the terminal may send the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information to the AMF, which forwards the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information to the LMF.
Alternatively, the terminal may send location service request information, which may carry the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information. The location service request information may be used to acquire location information of the terminal.
In a possible case, the location service authorization information may be carried by a field newly added in the location service request information, or the location service authorization information may be carried by a field existing in the multiplexed location service request information, which is not limited in the present application.
S14: the LMF grants location services to the terminal.
For example, after receiving the identity of the terminal and location service authorization information, the LMF may determine that location services need to be authorized for the terminal. For example, the LMF may transmit a measurement request/positioning algorithm information request/positioning algorithm measurement request to the base station and the neighbor base stations of the base station according to the identity of the terminal. Measurement request/positioning algorithm information request/positioning algorithm measurement request may be used to obtain location related information of the terminal. For example, a measurement request/positioning algorithm information request/positioning algorithm measurement request may be used to request a base station and a neighboring base station to measure location related information of a terminal.
The location related information is used to determine location information of the terminal. Alternatively, the location related information may be an angle of arrival, a time difference of arrival, a reference signal received power (reference singal receiving power, RSRP), an interference signal to noise ratio (signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR), a reference signal received quality (referencesignal receiving quality, RSRQ). The LMF receives a measurement response sent by the base station, where the measurement response may carry location related information. The LMF may determine location information of the terminal according to the location related information.
Optionally, the embodiment shown in fig. 2 may further include the following operations.
S15: the LMF transmits location information of the terminal to the terminal.
For example, the LMF may transmit location service response information, which may be response information of location service request information, to the terminal, and the location service response information may carry location information of the terminal.
As described above, in S11-S15, the terminal first receives the system message carrying the location function indication information, and when receiving the user-triggered instruction to start the location service, transmits the identification of the terminal and the location service authorization information to the LMF, and then the LMF authorizes the location service to the terminal. Thus, the location service switch can be controlled autonomously by the user, and thus location service authorization can be performed independently for public users, i.e., only a portion of the users are authorized for location services, and users who do not want to use the location services are not affected. Therefore, the differentiated requirements of different users in a specific area on the positioning service can be met. And, it is advantageous to promote large-scale application and popularization of positioning services such as 5G positioning services or positioning services based on next generation communication systems.
In addition, the embodiment of the application reforms the system information and controls the opening or closing of the positioning service by the user independently, thereby triggering the LMF to judge whether the positioning service is required to be authorized to the terminal according to the received information.
In the embodiment of the application, the user can flexibly close the positioning service.
Referring to fig. 4, an exemplary flowchart for shutting down a location service provided for an embodiment of the present application may include the following operations.
S21: the terminal receives an instruction for closing the positioning service, which is triggered by a user;
in one example, in the case where the terminal is in a state of turning on the location service, whether to turn off the location service may be selected by the user. If the user selects to trigger the closing of the positioning service, the terminal can receive an instruction of closing the positioning service triggered by the user.
For example, if the user wants to close the location service, an instruction to close the location service may be triggered at the display interface of the terminal. Referring to fig. 3, if a user wants to turn off a location service, the location service switch may be clicked to turn off the location service, and the terminal may receive an instruction triggered by the user to turn off the location service switch.
In addition, the above-mentioned manner of turning off the location service by the user is described by taking the case that the user clicks the location service switch as an example, the user may actually turn on the location service by other manners, for example, the user may turn off the location service by voice command through a voice assistant function of the terminal, or the user may turn off the location service by specific operation on the terminal, such as double clicking a power key/volume key, etc., which is not limited in this application.
S22: the terminal sends the identification of the terminal and the positioning service authorization stopping information to the LMF;
correspondingly, the LMF receives the identification of the terminal and the positioning service authorization stopping information.
Wherein the location service authorization stop information indicates that the LMF stops authorizing the location service to the terminal. In one example, the location services authorization-stop information may be an identification, such as a location de-enabling identification. If the terminal sends a location de-enabling identification to the LMF, the LMF may be deemed to need to cease authorizing location services to the terminal. In another example, the location service authorization stop information may be 1-bit information. And when the 1-bit information is '0', the LMF is instructed to keep authorizing the positioning service to the terminal, and when the 1-bit information is '1', the LMF is instructed to stop authorizing the positioning service to the terminal. Otherwise, when the 1-bit information is '0', the LMF is instructed to stop authorizing the positioning service to the terminal, and when the 1-bit information is '1', the LMF is instructed to keep authorizing the positioning service to the terminal.
In a possible scenario, the terminal may send the identity of the terminal and location service authorization-stop information directly to the LMF. In another possible scenario, the terminal may send the terminal's identification and location service authorization-stop information to the AMF, which forwards the terminal's identification and location service authorization-stop information to the LMF.
Alternatively, the terminal may transmit end location service request information, which may be used to indicate to the LMF that acquisition of location information of the terminal is stopped.
In a possible case, the location service authorization stop information may be carried by a field newly added in the end location service request information, or the location service authorization stop information may be carried by a field existing in the multiplexed end location service request information, which is not limited by the present application.
Therefore, the user can automatically close the positioning service of the terminal through simple triggering operation, so that convenience is improved, and the user is guaranteed to start or end the positioning service.
Next, the effects of the present application will be described by describing an example of location service authorization in a communication network with reference to fig. 5.
In fig. 5, the terminals 1 and 2 are in the area, and the terminal 3 is outside the area, and the area may be a hospital, an airport, a train station, or the like, and the present application is not limited. Terminal 1 is within the coverage of a serving base station and terminal 2 is within the coverage of the serving base station and the neighboring base stations of the serving base station. Thus, only terminal 1 and terminal 2 receive system messages carrying positioning function indication information from the serving base station.
At this time, the user of the terminal 1 wants to use a location service in the current area, such as a rapid diagnosis guiding service, an instruction for starting the location service may be triggered at the terminal 1, the terminal 1 may send a location service request to a location server, and then the location server authorizes the location service to the terminal 1. If the user of the terminal 2 does not want to use the location service, the terminal 2 does not send a location service request to the location server without an instruction to trigger the start of the location service.
If the user of the terminal 1 triggers an instruction to start the positioning service at the terminal 1, the authorization of the positioning service of the terminal 1 is completed according to S12 to S14.
If the user of the terminal 1 triggers an instruction to turn off the positioning service at the terminal 1, the positioning service of the terminal 1 is terminated according to the flow of S21 to S22.
Since the terminal 3 is outside the area, the system message carrying the positioning function instruction information from the serving base station is not received by the terminal 3, and thus the positioning service icon is not displayed on the display interface of the terminal. Is not affected by the positioning services.
Thus, the requirements of different users inside and outside the area can be met. The user can open or close the positioning service at any time according to the own demand.
On the other hand, in the embodiment of the application, the user can control through the display interface of the terminal and the positioning service switch, so that the operation of starting the positioning service is simpler for the user, and the user can operate the positioning service switch to automatically manage the positioning function like a GPS switch and a Bluetooth switch, thereby improving the experience of the user when using the positioning service.
The area of the present application is not limited to hospitals, railway stations, airports, and the like. The positioning service authorization method provided by the application can be applied to all areas with large mobility and positioning requirements of public users in the area, so that the application has a plurality of applicable scenes and high flexibility. For example, in the case of a department store or a large mall, when a part of public users in the area want to navigate to a certain store, the location service of their terminals can be autonomously turned on or ended. Other public users in the area who do not want to use the location service do not need to turn on the location service switch. And, public users outside the area are not affected. The terminal of the user who needs the location service can be independently authorized for the location service. The privacy of public users is guaranteed while different user demands are met. The use feeling of the user is improved.
