[0037] For ease of understanding, some content related to the embodiments of the present application will be described below:

[0038] 1. The states of the terminal include three states: Idle state, Inactive state, and connected state. Among them, the connected state can also be referred to as the Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_connected) state.

[0039] For a UE in the Idle state, there is no RRC context on the network device. That is to say, the parameters necessary for communication between the network device and the UE do not belong to a specific cell, and the network device does not know whether the UE exists. The UE is assigned a set of Tracking Area Identifiers (TAI list). From the perspective of the core network, the connection between the Radio Access Network (RAN) side and the core network is disconnected. To reduce power consumption, the UE is in a dormant state most of the time and thus cannot perform data transmission. In the downlink, the UE in the Idle state can be periodically awakened to receive paging messages from the network device. Mobility can be handled by the UE through cell reselection. In the Idle state, the UE does not maintain uplink synchronization with the network device. If it wants to transition from the Idle state to the Connected state, it can only do so through random access to establish an RRC context between the UE and the network device.

[0040] In the RRC_Connected state, an RRC context can be established, and all the parameters required for communication are known to both entities (the UE and the network device). From the perspective of the core network, the UE is in the CN_Connected state. The cell to which the UE belongs is known, and a device identifier for transmission signaling purposes between the device and the network, namely the Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), has been configured. In the connected state, mobility can be controlled by the network device, that is, the UE provides neighbor cell measurements to the network device, and the network device commands the terminal to perform a handover. Uplink time synchronization may or may not exist. When there is data to be transmitted, uplink synchronization can be established by using random access.

[0041] In the RRC_INACTIVE state, the RRC context between the network device and the UE is maintained. From the perspective of the core network, the connection between the RAN side and the core network is in a certain state. Therefore, the transition from the inactive state to the connected state is fast and does not require core network signaling. At the same time, the UE is allowed to sleep in a manner similar to the idle state, and mobility is handled through cell reselection. Therefore, RRC_INACTIVE can be regarded as a hybrid of the idle and connected states.

[0042] Therefore, an important difference between different states lies in the involved mobility mechanisms. Efficient mobility handling is a key part of any mobile communication system. For the idle and inactive states, mobility is handled by the terminal through cell reselection, while for the connected state, mobility is handled by the network device based on UE measurements.

[0043] When any of the following 5 scenarios occur, the UE will return to the RRC connected state: there is uplink data to be sent; a signaling procedure is initiated at the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer; a RAN paging response; notifying the network device that it has left the RAN notification area; the periodic RAN notification area update timer times out.

[0044] II. Power control and spatial relationship of the uplink positioning reference signal in the Connected state.

[0045] The uplink positioning reference signal can be the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The time-domain types of the uplink positioning reference signal include periodic, aperiodic, and semi-static. Optionally, the first configuration information can be configured for each SRS resource set, that is, it can be understood as per SRS resource set configuration, or the first configuration information can be configured for each SRS resource.

[0046] The path loss reference signal is used to obtain the path loss estimation of the SRS, including downlink signals such as the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) of the serving cell, the SSB of neighboring cells, CSI-RS, the Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), etc., or other SRSs.

[0047] III. Random access procedure.

[0048] The four-step random access can be called the four-step random access channel (4-step Random Access Channel, RACH), which specifically includes:

[0049] The contention-based random access procedure;

[0050] The non-contention-based random access procedure.

[0051] For the "contention-based random access procedure", the UE sends Message 1 (Msg1) to the network device. After receiving Msg1, the network device sends Msg2 to the UE, and this message carries uplink grant information. The UE sends Msg3 according to the uplink grant in Msg2. After receiving Msg3, the network device sends Msg4 (such as the contention resolution identifier) to the UE. The UE determines whether the contention resolution is successful after receiving Msg4. If successful, the random access procedure is successful; otherwise, the random access procedure is restarted.

[0052] For the "non-contention-based random access procedure", the network device allocates dedicated RACH resources for the UE to access. The UE sends Msg1 (random access request) to the network device on the dedicated resources. After receiving Msg1, the network device sends Msg2 to the UE. However, when the dedicated RACH resources are insufficient, the network device will instruct the UE to initiate contention-based random access (Random Access, RA).

[0053] The 2-step RACH includes the following steps:

[0054] 1. The network device configures the configuration information of the new two-step random access for the UE, such as including: the transmission resource information corresponding to MsgA and MsgB;

[0055] 2. The UE triggers the 2-step RACH procedure. The request information (MsgA) is sent to the network device, such as sent through the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). At the same time, the UE may also send Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) information to the network device.

[0056] 3. The network device sends the confirmation information (MsgB) to the UE. If the UE fails to receive MsgB, the UE resends MsgA.

[0057] IV. Uplink positioning procedure.

[0058] The uplink positioning procedure includes the following steps:

[0059] 1. The Local Management Function (LMF) exchanges configuration information with the TRP;

[0060] 2. The LMF and the UE exchange capability information;

[0061] 3. The New Radio Positioning Protocol A (NRPPa) requests positioning;

[0062] 4. The base station determines the uplink (UL) SRS configuration;

[0063] 5. The NRPPa positioning response;

[0064] 6. The NRPPa positioning activation request; the base station activates SRS transmission; the NRPPa positioning activation response;

[0065] 7. The NRPPa measurement request;

[0066] 8. The base station performs UL SRS measurement;

[0067] 9. The NRPPa measurement response.

[0068] The following combines the accompanying drawings and details the uplink positioning processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a flowchart of an uplink positioning processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application. This method is executed by a terminal. As Figure 2 shown, it includes the following steps:

[0070] Step 201, the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device;

[0071] Step 202, the terminal determines the target information of the first positioning reference signal according to the first configuration information;

[0072] Among them, the first configuration information includes at least one of power configuration information and spatial relationship configuration information. When the first configuration information includes the power configuration information, the target information includes the transmission power. When the first configuration information includes the spatial relationship configuration information, the target information includes the spatial relationship; the first positioning reference signal is used for the terminal to perform uplink positioning in the idle state or the non-active state.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first positioning reference signal can be understood as an uplink positioning reference signal, which may specifically include a preamble, SRS, or other newly defined reference signals for uplink positioning. In the following embodiments, SRS can be taken as an example for illustration.

[0074] It should be understood that the above-mentioned power configuration information and spatial relationship configuration information may be carried in the same command or the same message, or may be carried in different commands or different messages, and no further limitation is made here. It should also be understood that the first configuration information may further carry other information other than the power configuration information and the spatial relationship configuration information. Since the target information of the first positioning reference signal is determined through the first configuration information, when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, the first positioning reference signal can be sent according to the target information, and thus uplink positioning of the terminal in the idle state or the inactive state can be realized.

[0075] It should be noted that the terminal may determine the above-mentioned target information when it is in the connected state, or may also determine the above-mentioned target information when it is in the idle state or the inactive state. No further limitation is made here.

[0076] It should be noted that the terminal may receive the above-mentioned first configuration information when it is in the connected state, or may also receive the above-mentioned first configuration information when it is in the idle state or the inactive state.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device; the terminal determines the target information of the first positioning reference signal according to the first configuration information; wherein, the first configuration information includes at least one of power configuration information and spatial relationship configuration information. When the first configuration information includes the power configuration information, the target information includes the transmission power. When the first configuration information includes the spatial relationship configuration information, the target information includes the spatial relationship; the first positioning reference signal is used for the terminal to perform uplink positioning in the idle state or the inactive state. In this way, when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, the uplink positioning reference signal can be sent based on the determined target information, thereby avoiding the terminal switching to the connected state to send the positioning reference signal. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application reduce the positioning power consumption and latency of the terminal.

[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first configuration information includes power configuration information, and the terminal determining the target information of the first positioning reference signal according to the first configuration information includes:

[0079] Determining a first bandwidth part (BWP) for transmitting the first positioning reference signal;

[0080] Determine the transmission power of the first positioning reference signal according to the power configuration information and the first BWP.

[0081] Optionally, the above first BWP may be the active BWP of the terminal when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the above first BWP may be the initial active BWP of the terminal when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, or may be the active BWP switched by the terminal for transmitting the positioning reference signal. For example, when transmitting the first positioning reference signal, the terminal switches the active BWP. It should be noted that after switching the active BWP, the current active BWP may remain unchanged, or after transmitting the first positioning reference signal, the active BWP may be switched back to the initial active BWP. No further limitation is made here.

[0083] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first BWP is at least one of the following BWPs:

[0084] Initial BWP;

[0085] Dedicated initial BWP, which is the BWP only used for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state;

[0086] BWP for positioning.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the above initial BWP may be understood as the initial BWP configured when the terminal is in the connected state or the non-connected state. The above dedicated initial BWP may be referred to as the second initial BWP, which is used to represent the initially activated BWP used in specific situations when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state. The specific situation may be a positioning situation, a low-power situation, etc. When the above initial BWP and the second initial BWP are the same, it may be understood that the initially activated BWP used by the terminal in different states is the same. The BWP for positioning may be understood as the BWP used to transmit the above first positioning reference signal, and this BWP for positioning may be the same as or different from the initial BWP and / or the dedicated initial BWP. No further limitation is made here.

[0088] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0089] Receive second configuration information sent by the network device;

[0090] Wherein, the second configuration information includes at least one of the first sub-configuration information and the second sub-configuration information used by the terminal in the idle state or the inactive state; the first sub-configuration information is the configuration of the initial BWP, and the second sub-configuration information is the configuration of the dedicated initial BWP or the BWP for positioning.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first configuration information and second configuration information may be carried in the same command or the same message, or may be carried in different commands or different messages. When the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, the above-mentioned first sub-configuration information and second sub-configuration information may exist simultaneously. In one embodiment, only one of the above-mentioned first sub-configuration information and second sub-configuration information is activated. In other words, when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, any one of the first sub-configuration information and the second sub-configuration information is activated. In another embodiment, the above-mentioned first sub-configuration information and second sub-configuration information are combined to determine the second configuration information when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state. In yet another embodiment, the above-mentioned first sub-configuration information and second sub-configuration information are used for different purposes. For example, random access and / or paging both use the first sub-configuration information, and positioning uses the second sub-configuration information. The purposes can be combined arbitrarily and are not limited herein.

[0092] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first sub-power configuration information and the second sub-power configuration information may belong to one configuration unit or two different configuration units.

[0093] It should be understood that when a certain sub-configuration information is activated, the BWP corresponding to the sub-configuration information is activated, and the terminal can send the above-mentioned first positioning reference signal on the currently activated BWP.

[0094] It can also be understood that when a certain BWP is activated, the corresponding configuration information is activated, and the terminal can send the above-mentioned first positioning reference signal on the currently activated BWP according to the corresponding configuration information.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, the configuration information of the above-mentioned first BWP carries the configuration information of the positioning reference signal.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the configuration information of the positioning reference signal carried by the configuration information of the above-mentioned first BWP may include the configuration information of the positioning reference signal for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, or may include the configuration information of the positioning reference signal for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the connected state. In other words, in the embodiments of the present application, when the first BWP is the dedicated initial BWP or the BWP for positioning, the configuration information of the positioning reference signal includes at least one of the third sub-configuration information and the fourth sub-configuration information; wherein, the third sub-configuration information is the configuration information of the positioning reference signal for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, and the fourth sub-configuration information is the configuration information of the positioning reference signal for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the connected state.

[0097] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the above fourth sub-configuration information may include some or all of the configurations in the above first configuration information. Further, it may also include or only include other configurations of the positioning reference signal for uplink positioning when the terminal is in the connected state in addition to the above first configuration information.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the configuration information of the above first BWP may include a BWP index (ID), BWP common information, and BWP dedicated information. Among them, the configuration information of the above positioning reference signal may be carried in the above BWP dedicated information.

[0099] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first BWP is a BWP for positioning, the configuration information of the first BWP further includes at least one of a first enable status flag and a second enable status flag. The first enable status flag is used to indicate whether it is for positioning, and the second enable status flag is used to indicate whether it is for the idle state or the inactive state.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, optionally, when the first enable status flag is a first value, it may indicate that the configuration information of the BWP carrying the first enable flag is for positioning; when the first enable status flag is a second value, it may indicate that the configuration information of the BWP carrying the first enable flag is not for positioning. At this time, the value of the first enable status flag carried in the configuration information of the above first BWP is the first value.

[0101] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the configuration information of a certain BWP does not carry the second enable status flag, it indicates that the configuration information of the BWP is for the connected state; when the configuration information of a certain BWP carries the second enable status flag, it indicates that the configuration information of the BWP is for the idle state or the inactive state; or, when the configuration information of a certain BWP carries the second enable status flag and the second enable status flag is a third value, it indicates that the configuration information of the BWP is for the idle state, the inactive state, or the connected state, or indicates that the configuration information of the BWP is only for the inactive state or the connected state; or, when the configuration information of a certain BWP carries the second enable status flag and the second enable status flag is a fourth value, it indicates that the configuration information of the BWP is for the connected state.

[0102] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when there is a second enabling state identifier, the configuration information of the first BWP may only include first sub-configuration information or second sub-configuration information, and the second enabling state identifier is used to define whether the configuration information of the first BWP can be used for another state. Similarly, it can also be understood that if the configuration information of the first BWP only includes first sub-configuration information or second sub-configuration information, then the second enabling state identifier may need to be included in the configuration information of the first BWP.

[0103] Similarly, in one embodiment, when there is a second enabling state identifier, the configuration information of the positioning reference signal may only include third sub-configuration information or fourth sub-configuration information, and the second enabling state identifier is used to define whether the configuration information of the positioning reference signal can be used for another state. Similarly, it can also be understood that if the configuration information of the positioning reference signal only includes third sub-configuration information or fourth sub-configuration information, then the second enabling state identifier may need to be included in the configuration information of the positioning reference signal. Optionally, in some embodiments, the configuration information of the first BWP includes at least one of the following: a first enabling state identifier, a second enabling state identifier, the configuration information of a first positioning reference signal, a BWP period, a BWP activation offset, and a BWP activation window length;

[0290] The configuration information of the positioning BWP.

[0292] 1. Bwp ID;

[0294] 3. The BWP dedicated information carries the first SRS configuration information and / or the second SRS configuration information;

[0295] 4. For the Positioning enabling flag;

[0297] Among them, the behavior of the terminal is similar to that in the second embodiment above. Specifically, it can refer to the description of the above embodiment. For example, the dedicated initial BWP in the second embodiment can be replaced with the Positioning BWP, which will not be elaborated here.

[0298] Furthermore, the positioning BWP is configured per serving cell. There is a corresponding relationship between the positioning BWPs of the serving cells of the same base station. In other words, it may be decoupled from the serving cell. For example, the time-frequency resources are the same and / or the SRS configuration information is the same.

[0299] Embodiment 4. When the resident cell changes, the configuration of the uplink positioning reference signal is updated, as Figure 2 shown, including the following processes.

[0300] Step 301, the network device carries the configuration information of the uplink positioning reference signal through an RRC release message or an RRC status suspend message;

[0301] Step 302, when performing a handover of the resident cell, the terminal can send a preamble;

[0302] Step 303, the terminal receives a Random Access Response (RAR) sent by the network device;

[0303] Step 304, the terminal sends an RRC resume request to the network device;

[0304] Step 305, the terminal receives the Contention Resolution;

[0305] Step 306, after the terminal successfully accesses the new cell, the network device sends an RRC release message or an RRC status suspend message again, and carries the first target configuration and / or the second target configuration of the uplink positioning reference signal in the RRC release message or the RRC status suspend message.

[0306] Step 307, when the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state, send the SRS based on the new first target configuration and / or the second target configuration.
