Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for location information measurement. The location information measurement implementation method is applied to an access network element, and includes sending auxiliary positioning information to a terminal, where the auxiliary positioning information is used by the terminal for positioning measurement.

Claims (41)

1. A location information measurement implementation method, applied to an access network element, comprising:

sending auxiliary positioning information to a terminal, wherein the auxiliary positioning information is suitable for positioning measurement by the terminal;

receiving, from the terminal, positioning measurement information of the terminal;

wherein the auxiliary positioning information comprises information on a positioning node,

the positioning node comprises a Bluetooth node; and

the information on the positioning node comprises a name of the Bluetooth node;

wherein the auxiliary positioning information comprises filtering indication information, the filtering indication information indicating that Bluetooth nodes whose device names lack specific character strings are filtered out by the terminal,

wherein the auxiliary positioning information further comprises a limit threshold for a number of positioning nodes to be reported by the terminal.

2. The location information measurement implementation method of claim 1 , wherein sending the auxiliary positioning information to the terminal comprises:

sending the auxiliary positioning information to the terminal through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3. The location information measurement implementation method of claim 2 , wherein sending the auxiliary positioning information to the terminal comprises:

sending the auxiliary positioning information to the terminal through a system broadcast message.

4. An access network element, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement implementation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement implementation program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement implementation method of claim 2 .

5. An access network element, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement implementation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement implementation program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement implementation method of claim 3 .

6. The location information measurement implementation method of claim 1 , before sending the auxiliary positioning information to the terminal, further comprising:

obtaining the auxiliary positioning information from one of a core network element, a network management device, and a neighbor base station device.

7. An access network element, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement implementation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement implementation program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement implementation method of claim 6 .

8. The location information measurement implementation method of claim 1 , wherein the access network element comprises a base station.

9. An access network element, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement implementation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement implementation program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement implementation method of claim 5 .

10. An access network element, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement implementation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement implementation program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement implementation method of claim 1 .

11. A location information measurement method, applied to a terminal, comprising:

receiving auxiliary positioning information sent by an access network element;

performing positioning measurement according to the auxiliary positioning information;

wherein the auxiliary positioning information comprises information on a positioning node,

the positioning node comprises a Bluetooth node, and

the information on the positioning node comprises a name of the Bluetooth node;

wherein the auxiliary positioning information comprises filtering indication information; and

wherein the auxiliary positioning information further comprises a limit threshold for a number of positioning nodes reported by the terminal;

filtering the positioning nodes according to the filtering indication information, wherein Bluetooth nodes whose device names lack specific character strings are filtered out of the position nodes;

performing positioning measurement according to at least a subset of the positioning nodes obtained after the filtering; and

sending, to the access network element, positioning measurement information of the terminal.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the access network element comprises a base station.

13. A terminal, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement method of claim 12 .

14. A terminal, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a location information measurement program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the location information measurement program, when executed by the processor, implements the location information measurement method of claim 11 .
