Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0118] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0119] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description, but these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) radio systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0120] Figure 1This diagram illustrates a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of this application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 can also be referred to as a terminal device or user equipment (UE). The terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, vehicle-mounted device (VUE), pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc. Wearable devices include wristbands, headphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific type of terminal 11. Network-side device 12 can be a base station or a core network. The base station can be referred to as a node B, evolved node B, access point, base transceiver station (BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, basic service set (BSS), extended service set (ESS), B node, evolved B node (eNB), home B node, home evolved B node, WLAN access point, WiFi node, transmitting and receiving point (TRP), or any other suitable term in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved. The base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0121] The relevant technologies involved in this application are described below.

[0122] Downlink signal transmit angle (AOD) measurement is performed by measuring the received power of multiple reference signals (RSRP) to select the corresponding beam. The beam with the highest measured energy is reported, along with the identification information of the positioning reference signal (PRS).

[0123] On the transmitting side (e.g., the base station side), the beam identification information is distinguished based on the PRS identification information. Different beams transmit different PRS, and different PRS include different angle information.

[0124] On the receiving side (e.g., the UE side), currently the UE will only report the received beam identification information (nr-DL-PRS-RxBeamIndex) if it measures that a certain beam has been used more than twice, but other information is not included.

[0125] Since the advent of massive MIMO, at high frequencies (such as Frequency Range 2, FR2), UEs use multiple panels to transmit signals, such as two back-to-back panels or four panels on each of the four sides of the UE. Different panels correspond to different radio frequency components, resulting in different deviations introduced by the components of different panels.

[0126] The relevant positioning methods have the following problems:

[0127] When the receiving beam is not used to receive other reported PRS, the network side cannot know the receiving beam identification information of the receiving side.

[0128] If the network side cannot know whether the received beam identification information sent by the receiving side corresponds to the same panel, it cannot eliminate the error introduced by the different link errors. At the same time, the same beam identification information (such as the same beam index) on different panels corresponds to different arrival angles, which may lead to angle detection errors.

[0129] The positioning method, apparatus, device, and storage medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0131] Step 200: The first communication device receives the first positioning reference signal and determines the first target beam information;

[0132] And / or,

[0133] The first communication device determines location information based on the first positioning reference signal and transmits the location information and the first beam information;

[0134] It is understandable that the first communication device is the receiving device of the first positioning reference signal.

[0135] Optionally, when the first communication device is a terminal, the first positioning reference signal is a downlink positioning reference signal; when the first communication device is a base station, the first positioning reference signal is an uplink positioning reference signal.

[0136] Optionally, the first communication device receives the first positioning reference signal and determines the first target beam information.

[0137] The first target beam information is the information of the beam that receives the first positioning reference signal.

[0138] The first target beam information includes at least one of the following:

[0139] The receiving beam identification information corresponding to the beam that receives the first positioning reference signal;

[0140] The received beam pattern information or response information corresponding to the beam that receives the first positioning reference signal;

[0141] The receiving beam direction information corresponding to the beam that receives the first positioning reference signal;

[0142] The receive beamwidth information corresponding to the beam that receives the first positioning reference signal;

[0143] The receiving antenna information of the first communication device.

[0144] Optionally, when the first communication device determines the first target beam information, it first determines the receiving beam used to receive the first positioning reference signal, which can also be understood as the beam used to receive the first positioning reference signal.

[0145] Different beams correspond to different beam identification information, such as beam ID.

[0146] In one optional implementation, the first communication device can determine, by beam scanning, that the beam receiving the largest RSRP is the receiving beam used to receive the first positioning reference signal, and then determine the receiving beam identification information corresponding to the receiving beam used to receive the first positioning reference signal.

[0147] In one optional implementation, when the first communication device determines the receiving beam for receiving the first positioning reference signal, it can determine the receiving beam for receiving the first positioning reference signal based on some configured beam information, such as Quasi Co-Location (QCL), Transceiver Configuration Indicator (TCI), etc., and then determine the receiving beam identification information corresponding to the receiving beam for receiving the first positioning reference signal.

[0148] It should be noted that after determining the receiving beam identification information corresponding to the beam receiving the first positioning reference signal, the first communication device can correspondingly determine the receiving beam pattern information or response information, the receiving beam direction information, the receiving beam width information, and the receiving antenna information of the first communication device.

[0149] Optionally, the first communication device determines location information based on the first positioning reference signal and sends the location information and the first beam information.

[0150] Location information is obtained by the first communication device through position measurement based on the first positioning reference signal. It can be obtained by angle positioning measurement methods (such as AOD or AOA positioning methods), time difference-based positioning measurement methods (such as down link time difference of arrival (DL-TDOA), up link time difference of arrival (UL-TDOA), round-trip time (RTT) positioning methods), or other positioning methods (such as GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth positioning methods).

[0151] Optionally, the location information may include location measurement information and / or positioning result information. The location measurement information is the measurement information obtained by the first communication device measuring the first reference signal; the positioning result information is the positioning result information obtained after position calculation.

[0154] Receive beam pattern information or response information;

[0155] Receive beam direction information;

[0156] Receive beamwidth information;

[0157] The receiving antenna information of the first communication device.

[0158] Optionally, the first communication device determines the total number of receiving beams based on the number of its panels and antennas. Once the number of receiving beams is determined, the angles of the receiving beams are also determined. Based on the angles of the receiving beams, the receiving beam pattern information or response information, the receiving beam direction information, and the receiving beamwidth information can all be determined. Each receiving beam corresponds to a receiving beam identification information, which can be used to determine the information of other beams of that beam. The first beam information is determined according to the above steps, and the first beam information includes the corresponding beam information of one or more receiving beams.

[0159] In this embodiment, the first communication device receives a first positioning reference signal, determines first target beam information, and / or determines location information and sends the location information and the first beam information. The first target beam information includes relevant information about the beam receiving the positioning reference signal. The first beam information includes at least one of the following: received beam identification information, received beam pattern information or response information, received beam direction information, received beam width information, and received antenna information of the first communication device. By introducing this information, it is beneficial to obtain the angle of arrival information more accurately, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0160] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, it further includes:

[0161] The first target beam information is transmitted once or multiple times. The first target beam information is used by the network-side device to determine the location information of the terminal and / or line of sight (LOS) / non-line of sight (NLOS) identification information.

[0162] It is understood that the first target beam information is used by the network-side device to determine the location information of the terminal, and / or by the network-side device to determine whether there is LOS / NLOS identification information in the beam measurement results.

[0163] Optionally, the first communication device may send the first target beam information to the third communication device once or multiple times.

[0164] In this embodiment of the application, the first communication device sends the first target beam information, thereby enabling the third communication device to more accurately determine the angle information, the location information of the terminal, and / or the line-of-sight (LOS) / line-of-sight (NLOS) identification information based on the first target beam information reported by the first communication device once or multiple times, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0165] Optionally, if there is a receiving beam that is a non-line-of-sight NLOS beam, the relevant information of the corresponding NLOS beam can be excluded from the final positioning solution, thereby further improving the positioning accuracy.

[0166] Optionally, the first beam information can be reported once or multiple times.

[0171] The received beam identification information can be the ID of the received beam, such as 0, 1, 2...N. For example, the first communication device includes 4 receiving panels, each panel has 8 antennas, and each panel can generate 8 beams, so a total of 4*8=32 beams can be generated. The received beam identification information based on the panel division is the identification information of the eight beams on each panel as 1, 2, ... 8, and the identification information of each panel is 1, 2, 3, 4. Each received beam is uniquely distinguished by the panel identification information and the beam identification information. The beam identification information based on the first communication device is that the 32 beams on the 4 panels are numbered together, and the identification information is 1, 2, ... 32. Each received beam is uniquely distinguished by the beam identification information.

[0172] Optionally, the received beam pattern information or response information includes:

[0173] At least one energy response information of the receiving beam corresponding to the receiving beam identification information at various angles;

[0174] Within a given beam angle, there will be a beam pattern, which represents the energy at various angles (360 degrees) under that beam. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the beam pattern provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0179] It is understandable that the received beam pattern information or response information can be reported at once, that is, the energy response information of multiple received beams at various angles can be reported at once. For example, the first beam information can be reported, which includes the energy response information of multiple or all received beams.
