Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment. Background Art

[0002] Among existing positioning methods, Multi-RTT (Multiple Round Trip Time) positioning is an important one. The Multi-RTT positioning method works as follows: The UE (terminal) reports the acquired UE transmit / receive time difference to the LMF (Location Management Function). Each Transmit / Receive Point (TRP) also provides the acquired gNB (Base Station) transmit / receive time difference to the LMF. The LMF uses the UE transmit / receive time difference and the gNB transmit / receive time difference to calculate the distance between the UE and each TRP. It then combines this with other known information (such as the geographic coordinates of the TRP) to calculate the UE's location.

[0003] That is, in the existing technology, for the Multi-RTT positioning method, in order to complete the measurement of the UE transmission and reception time difference or the gNB transmission and reception difference, the TRP is required to send DL-PRS (downlink positioning reference signal) and the UE sends SRS-Pos (sounding reference signal for positioning). The UE or gNB can complete the measurement of the relevant measurement quantities based on DL-PRS and SRS-Pos.

[0004] In existing protocols, when calculating positioning time measurements such as the UE transmit / receive time difference or the gNB transmit / receive time difference, the protocol assumes that time measurement is performed at the antenna connector. However, in reality, the signal time measurement is performed at the baseband unit, resulting in time measurement errors. This error, which applies to both signal transmission and reception, is called the transmit / receive timing error. This transmit / receive timing error leads to inaccurate measurement results for all time-based positioning measurements, including the UE transmit / receive time difference and the gNB transmit / receive time difference, thereby affecting the final positioning accuracy.

[0005] As can be seen from the above, the positioning accuracy of the positioning measurement solution is reduced due to the existence of the transmission and reception timing error in the prior art, and there is no indication solution for the transmission and reception timing error in the prior art, resulting in the inability to avoid the above-mentioned problem.

[0507] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0508] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0509] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0510] It is explained here that the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems. For example, applicable systems may be global system of mobile communication (GSM) systems, code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) general packet radio service (GPRS) systems, long term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems, universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) systems, 5G new air interface (NR) systems, etc. These various systems include terminals and network side devices. The system may also include a core network part, such as an evolved packet system (EPS), a 5G system (5GS), etc.

[0511] Figure 1 A block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of the present application is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal and a network-side device.

[0512] The terminal involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal may be called a user equipment (UE). A wireless terminal can communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). A wireless terminal can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges language and / or data with a radio access network. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other devices. A wireless terminal may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, or a user device, but is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0513] The network side device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to the terminal. Depending on the specific application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in the access network that communicates with the wireless terminal through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network side device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network side device may also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network side device involved in the embodiments of the present application can be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), or a network device (NodeB) in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), or an evolutionary network device (eNB or e-NodeB) in the long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), or a home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a home base station (femto), a pico base station (pico), etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some network structures, the network side device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0514] Network devices and terminals can each use one or more antennas for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be either Single User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Multi User MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or Massive-MIMO. It can also use diversity transmission, precoding, or beamforming.

[0515] The following first introduces the contents involved in the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0516] The measurement quantity used in the Multi-RTT positioning method is the time difference between the arrival time of the DL-PRS (downlink positioning reference signal) from each TRP measured by the UE and the time difference between the UE sending the SRS-Pos (sounding reference signal for positioning) (called the UE transmit and receive time difference) and the time difference between the arrival time of the SRS-Pos from the UE measured by each TRP and the time difference between the TRP sending the DL-PRS (called the gNB transmit and receive time difference). Figure 2 As shown, the round trip time (RTT) between the UE and a TRP can be calculated by the UE's transmit and receive time difference measured by the DL-PRS of the TRP. Add the TRP to the gNB receive / transmit time difference measured by the UE's SRS-Pos The distance between the UE and the TRP can be obtained by multiplying 1 / 2 RTT by the speed of light. It is worth noting that when using this method to obtain RTT, it is not required that the UE and TRP are precisely synchronized. Formula 1:

[0517] From the perspective of signal transmission and reception between UE and each TRP, supporting the Multi-RTT positioning method is basically equivalent to supporting both the DL-TDOA (downlink time difference of arrival) positioning method and the UL-TDOA (uplink time difference of arrival) positioning method.

[0518] On the UE side, the UE sends SRS-Pos according to the SRS-Pos configuration given by the serving base station; and the UE uses the auxiliary data provided by the LMF (positioning management function unit) to learn the configuration information of the DL-PRS sent by each surrounding TRP. Based on the DL-PRS configuration information of each TRP, the UE receives the DL-PRS sent by each TRP and obtains the arrival time of the DL-PRS. Then, the UE obtains the UE transmission and reception time difference based on the difference between the measured DL-PRS arrival time and the time when the UE sends the SRS-Pos.

[0519] At each TRP, the LMF provides assistance data to determine the UE's SRS-Pos configuration. Based on this information, the TRP receives the UE's SRS-Pos and obtains the arrival time of the SRS-Pos. Each TRP then calculates the gNB's transmit / receive time difference based on the difference between the measured SRS-Pos arrival time and its own DL-PRS transmission time.

[0520] Multi-RTT positioning generally uses a network-based positioning method. The UE reports the time difference between its transmission and reception to the LMF. Each TRP also provides the time difference between its transmission and reception of the gNB to the LMF. The LMF then uses the time difference between the UE and gNB to calculate the distance between the UE and each TRP. It then combines this with other known information (such as the geographic coordinates of the TRP) to calculate the UE's location.

[0521] Based on the above, embodiments of the present application provide information processing methods, apparatuses, terminals, and network-side devices to address the problem in the prior art of being unable to determine the timing error between transmit and receive, which affects positioning accuracy. The methods, apparatuses, terminals, and network-side devices are based on the same patent application concept. Since the principles for solving the problems in the methods, apparatuses, terminals, and network-side devices are similar, the implementation of the apparatuses, methods, terminals, and network-side devices can refer to each other, and any repetitions will not be repeated.

[0522] Example 1

[0523] The embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method, which is applied to a first network side device, such as Figure 3 Shown, including:

[0524] Step 31: Send first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error to the terminal and / or the second network side device; wherein the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error refers to the signal transmission delay or delay error between the antenna unit of the terminal and the baseband unit of the terminal, or the signal transmission delay or delay error between the antenna unit of the base station and the baseband unit of the base station; the first network side device is a base station, and the second network side device is a positioning server; or, the first network side device is a positioning server, and the second network side device is a base station; the first information is the internal delay information or delay error information of the terminal or base station.

[0525] Among them, when the first network side device is a base station, the transceiver timing error can be measured by the base station (specifically, it can be measured by the first network side device itself); when the first network side device is a positioning server, the transceiver timing error can be measured by the terminal or the base station (forwarded by the first network side device). The transceiver timing delay value can be the average value of the transceiver timing delay, or a theoretical value, which is not limited here. The transceiver timing uncertainty information can be the degree to which the (transceiver timing) delay value deviates from the average delay value or the standard deviation information of the (transceiver timing) delay value, which is not limited here. The transceiver timing error can specifically refer to the signal transmission delay between the antenna unit of the base station where the terminal can receive the positioning reference signal and the baseband unit of the base station. The first information may specifically correspond to at least two base stations. For example, if three base stations transmit positioning reference signals to a UE, the first information may include the transmit / receive timing delay values, transmit / receive timing uncertainty information, receive timing delay value, receive timing uncertainty information, transmit timing delay value, and transmit timing uncertainty information for each of the three base stations; as well as synchronization error information between any two of the three base stations.

[0601] 2. The form of the first message:

[0602] (3) Whether the UE is capable of measuring or reporting the first information is a UE capability (UE Capability); corresponding to the above determination of whether the terminal is capable of measuring or sending the first information based on the configuration parameters.

[0603] (4) If the UE has the capability to measure or report the first information, the UE will transmit the first information in the reported or sent information; if the UE does not have the capability to measure or report the first information, the UE will not transmit the first information in the reported or sent information.

[0604] (5) The first information is a product parameter of a UE or gNB (corresponding to the first information being product information), and its value is determined after the product leaves the factory.

[0605] (6) The first information is a measurement quantity (corresponding to the above-mentioned measurement information), the value of which can be obtained by the UE or gNB through its own internal measurement.

[0606] (7) The UE or gNB may obtain the value of the first information by transmitting and receiving a reference signal and measuring the reference signal.

[0607] 3. Factors affecting the first information:

[0608] (8) The first information is antenna panel-specific, antenna-specific, antenna-Connector-specific, or antenna-Port-specific. That is, for each antenna panel, antenna, antenna connector, or antenna port, the UE or gNB reports a value. The value may be different for different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, or antenna ports.

[0609] (9) The first information is carrier- or band-specific, i.e., for each carrier or band, the UE or gNB reports a value, which may be different for different carriers or bands.

[0610] (10) The first information is related to external environmental factors such as temperature, air pressure, and altitude (i.e., the above-mentioned external environmental parameters).

[0611] 4. Use the first information:

[0612] (11) For UE-assisted positioning solution:

[0613] The UE and the gNB report the first information to the LMF, so that the LMF can compensate the time-based positioning measurement value before using it when performing positioning solution (corresponding to the above-mentioned compensation of the time-based positioning measurement value according to the first information).

[0614] (12) For UE-based positioning solutions:

[0615] The gNB and LMF send the first information to the UE, so that the UE can compensate the time-based positioning measurement value before using it when performing positioning solution (corresponding to the above-mentioned compensation of the time-based positioning measurement value according to the first information).

[0616] (13) Time-based positioning measurements include at least one of the following:

[0621] The following is an example of the solution provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0622] Example 1 (the first information includes the UE or gNB transmit and receive timing error):

[0623] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0624] The first information includes the following:

[0625] a) Terminal receiving and sending timing error:

The transmitting and receiving timing error here refers to the combination of the transmitting timing error and the receiving timing error. The so-called combination means that the transmitting and receiving timing error includes both the transmitting timing error part and the receiving timing error part. One possible form is: transmitting and receiving timing error = transmitting timing error + receiving timing error.

[0632] The transmit timing error refers to the error in signal transmission time from the baseband unit to the transmit antenna unit, while the receive timing error refers to the error in signal transmission time from the receive antenna unit to the baseband unit. The antenna unit includes at least one of an antenna, an antenna connector, an antenna port, and an antenna panel.

[0633] The terminal transceiver timing error may further include a terminal transceiver timing delay (value) and a terminal transceiver timing uncertainty (information). The terminal transceiver timing delay may refer to the average delay value of the error value, or the expected value (i.e., theoretical value) of the error value; while the terminal transceiver timing uncertainty refers to the degree to which the error value deviates from the average delay value, or the standard deviation of the error value. The first information on the terminal side may specifically include at least one of the terminal transceiver timing error, the terminal transceiver timing delay, and the terminal transceiver timing uncertainty.

[0634] Regarding the base station receiving and transmitting timing error, it is also consistent with the above description. The first information on the base station side may specifically include at least one of the base station receiving and transmitting timing error, the base station receiving and transmitting timing delay, and the base station receiving and transmitting timing uncertainty.

[0635] By using the method in this example, the information related to the UE or gNB transmit and receive timing error can be indicated to assist the LMF or UE in determining whether there is a time measurement error in the time-based positioning measurement and the specific value of the error, so that the LMF or UE can use this information, parameters or measurement to compensate or adjust the time-based positioning measurement when calculating the terminal position, thereby avoiding the impact of the transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.

[0648] gNB Tx Timing Uncertainty information.

[0649] like Figure 8 As shown (taking the antenna unit as an example, antenna ports are used as an example, where a represents the transmit antenna port, b represents the receive antenna port, c represents the transmit timing error, and d represents the receive timing error), the first information refers to information associated with the transmit or receive timing error of the terminal or base station, including the transmit or receive timing delay (value) and the transmit or receive timing uncertainty (information). The transmit and receive timing error here refers to a separate transmit timing error or a separate receive timing error.

[0650] The transmit timing error refers to the error in signal transmission time from the baseband unit to the transmit antenna unit, while the receive timing error refers to the error in signal transmission time from the receive antenna unit to the baseband unit. The antenna unit includes at least one of an antenna, an antenna connector, an antenna port, and an antenna panel.

[0651] The terminal transmit timing error may further include the terminal transmit timing delay (value) and the terminal transmit timing uncertainty (information). The terminal transmit timing delay may refer to the average delay value of the error value, or the expected value (i.e., theoretical value) of the error value; and the terminal transmit timing uncertainty refers to the degree to which the error value deviates from the average delay value, or the standard deviation of the error value. The first information on the terminal transmit side may specifically include at least one of the following information: the terminal transmit timing error, the terminal transmit timing delay, and the terminal transmit timing uncertainty. The first information on the terminal receive side may specifically include at least one of the following information: the terminal receive timing error, the terminal receive timing delay, and the terminal receive timing uncertainty.

[0652] Regarding the base station transmit / receive timing error, as described above, the first information on the base station transmit side may specifically include at least one of the following: the base station transmit timing error, the base station transmit timing delay, and the base station transmit timing uncertainty. The first information on the base station receive side may specifically include at least one of the following: the base station receive timing error, the base station receive timing delay, and the base station receive timing uncertainty.

[0653] By using the method in this example, information related to the UE or gNB's transceiver timing error can be indicated to assist the LMF or UE in determining whether a time-based positioning measurement has a time measurement error and the specific value of the error. This allows the LMF or UE to use this information, parameter, or measurement to compensate or adjust the time-based positioning measurement when calculating the terminal position, thereby avoiding the impact of the transceiver timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy. In addition, the transmit timing error and receive timing error in the transceiver timing error can be sent or reported separately, making it more flexible for the LMF or UE to use the first information when solving the positioning solution.

[0654] Example 3 (first information is associated with a UE capability):

[0655] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0656] Whether the UE is capable of measuring or reporting the first information is a UE capability (UE Capability).

[0657] If the UE has the capability to measure or report the first information, the UE will transmit the first information in the reported or sent information; if the UE does not have the capability to measure or report the first information, the UE will not transmit the first information in the reported or sent information.

[0658] Specifically, due to cost and complexity limitations, not all UEs have the same measurement or reporting capabilities. Some low-cost UEs have simpler functions and can only measure or report limited information. However, primary information, which is related to the UE or gNB's transmit and receive timing delay or timing error, is used to assist the LMF or UE in improving positioning accuracy during positioning. Therefore, some UEs may not be able to measure or report primary information. Therefore, whether a UE can measure or report primary information is a UE capability.

[0659] In this example, whether a UE can measure or report the first information is a UE capability. Thus, UEs with the capability to measure or report the first information can measure or report the first information, thereby assisting the LMF or UE in improving positioning accuracy during positioning calculation. Low-cost UEs do not need this capability, thereby reducing UE cost and complexity.

[0660] Example 4 (the first information is a product parameter):

[0661] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0662] The first information is a product parameter of a UE or gNB, and its value is determined after the product leaves the factory.

[0663] Specifically, the first information can be a relatively fixed product parameter whose value is determined after the product leaves the factory, without the need for subsequent measurements to obtain its value. Alternatively, the first information can have multiple candidate values, allowing the user to set appropriate values ​​based on various factors. For example, in a low-temperature environment, the value of the first information is X1, while in a high-temperature environment, the value of the first information is X2.

[0664] In this example, the first information is a UE or gNB product parameter whose value is fixed after the product leaves the factory. This makes it simple and convenient for the UE or gNB to obtain the value of its first information. Without complex operations, the UE or gNB can easily obtain the value of the first information and report or transmit it to the LMF or UE to improve positioning accuracy.

[0665] Example 5 (the first information is specifically a new measurement quantity):

[0666] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0667] The first information is a measurement quantity, the value of which is obtained by the UE or gNB through its own internal measurement.

[0668] The first information, as a measurement quantity, is defined as follows: First information refers to information associated with the transmit / receive timing error of a terminal or base station, including transmit / receive timing delay (value) and transmit / receive timing uncertainty (information). Transmit / receive timing error here refers to the combination of transmit timing error and receive timing error. The combination means that the transmit / receive timing error includes both the transmit timing error and the receive timing error. One possible form is: transmit / receive timing error = transmit timing error + receive timing error.

[0669] In addition, the first information, as a measurement quantity, may also refer to information associated with the transmit or receive timing error of the terminal or base station, including the transmit or receive timing delay (value) and the transmit or receive timing uncertainty (information). The transmit or receive timing error here refers to a separate transmit timing error or a separate receive timing error.

[0670] The transmit timing error in the above description refers to the error in signal transmission time from the baseband unit to the transmit antenna unit, while the receive timing error refers to the error in signal transmission time from the receive antenna unit to the baseband unit. The antenna unit includes at least one of an antenna, an antenna connector, an antenna port, and an antenna panel.

[0671] When the first information is a measurement quantity, the UE or gNB may obtain its value through its own internal measurement. One implementation method is that the UE or gNB obtains the value of the first information by self-transmitting and self-receiving a calibration reference signal (corresponding to the above-mentioned calibration measurement signal), such as Figure 9 As shown in the figure (the antenna unit takes the antenna port as an example, in the figure, a represents the transmitting antenna port, b represents the receiving antenna port, c represents the transmitting timing error, and d represents the receiving timing error), the UE or gNB sends a calibration reference signal from the transmitting antenna unit, and then receives the calibration reference signal from its own receiving antenna unit, so that the specific value of the real-time first information can be accurately measured.

[0672] In this example, the first information is a measurement metric of the UE or gNB, obtained by the UE or gNB through internal measurements. This first information is relatively accurate and can reflect the specific value of the current transmit and receive timing error in real time. This information, when reported or transmitted to the LMF or UE, helps improve positioning accuracy.

[0673] Example 6 (factors affecting the first information):

[0674] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0675] The first information is antenna panel-specific, antenna-specific, antenna-Connector-specific or antenna-Port-specific, that is, for each antenna panel, antenna, antenna connector or antenna port, the UE or gNB will report a value, and the value may be different for different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors or antenna ports.

[0676] The first information is specific to the component carrier or frequency band, that is, for each carrier or frequency band, the UE or gNB will report a value, and the value may be different for different carriers or frequency bands.

[0677] The first information is related to external environmental factors such as temperature, air pressure, and altitude.

[0678] Specifically, a UE or gNB may be configured with multiple transmitting or receiving antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, and antenna ports. Different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, and antenna ports mean that signals will have different signal paths from the baseband unit to the antenna panel, antenna, antenna connector, or antenna port when being sent or received, resulting in different transmit and receive timing errors. Therefore, for each antenna panel, antenna, antenna connector, or antenna port, the UE or gNB will report a value, and the value corresponding to different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, or antenna ports may be different.

[0679] The situation is similar for carriers and frequency bands. Even for the same antenna panel, antenna, antenna connector, and antenna port, when the UE or gNB operates on different carriers or frequency bands, there will be different transmit and receive timing errors. Therefore, for each carrier or frequency band, the UE or gNB will report a value, and the value corresponding to different carriers or frequency bands may be different.

[0680] By using the method in this example, different transmit and receive timing error information can be indicated for different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, antenna ports, carriers, frequency bands and other factors to assist the LMF or UE in performing different compensation or processing on the transmit and receive timing error for different situations when performing positioning solution. Since the influence of different antenna panels, antennas, antenna connectors, antenna ports, carriers, frequency bands and other factors on the transmit and receive timing error is taken into account, the system positioning accuracy is improved.

[0681] Example 7 (using the first information):

[0682] In an embodiment of the present application, in the reported information or the sent information, at least one network element among the UE, gNB and LMF reports or sends the first information associated with the receiving and transmitting timing delay or timing error of the UE or gNB.

[0683] Regarding the usage scheme after the first information is reported to the LMF or sent to the UE:

[0684] For the UE-assisted positioning solution, the UE and gNB report the first information to the LMF, so that the LMF can compensate the time-based positioning measurement value before using it when performing positioning solution.

[0685] For the UE-based positioning solution, the gNB and LMF send the first information to the UE so that the UE can compensate the time-based positioning measurement value before using it when performing positioning solution.

[0686] Time-based positioning measurements include: Downlink Reference Signal Time Difference (DL RSTD), Uplink Relative Time of Arrival (UL RTOA), UE RX-Tx Time Difference, and gNB RX-Tx Time Difference.

[0687] By using the method in this example, different signaling processes can be used to transmit the receiving and transmitting timing error information for different positioning schemes, to assist the LMF or UE in compensating or processing the receiving and transmitting timing error for different positioning schemes when performing positioning solution, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.

[0688] From the above, it can be seen that the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application involves a method for indicating transceiver timing error information. Compared with the prior art, the method for indicating transceiver timing error information of the UE or gNB proposed in this solution can assist the LMF or UE in determining whether there is a time measurement error in the time-based positioning measurement amount and the specific value of the error by indicating information, parameters or measurement quantities related to the transceiver timing error of the UE or gNB. This allows the LMF or UE to use the information, parameters or measurement quantities to compensate or adjust the time-based positioning measurement quantity when calculating the terminal position, thereby avoiding the influence of the transceiver timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.

[0689] It is to be noted that regarding the sending and receiving timing delay, reference can be made to the above description of the sending and receiving timing error, which will not be repeated here.

[0690] The embodiment of the present application further provides a network side device, wherein the network side device is a first network side device, such as Figure 10 As shown, it includes a memory 101, a transceiver 102, and a processor 103:

This allows the network-side device or UE to use this information to compensate or adjust the time-based positioning measurement value when calculating the terminal position, thereby avoiding the impact of the transceiver timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, improving the system positioning accuracy, and effectively solving the problem in the existing technology that the transceiver timing error cannot be known and affects the positioning accuracy.
