Abstract
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 the existing positioning methods, Multi-RTT (multiple round trip time) positioning method is an important positioning method. The working principle of Multi-RTT positioning method is: UE (terminal) reports the obtained UE receiving and sending time difference to LMF (positioning management function unit), and each TRP (transmitting and receiving point, i.e. transmission point) also provides the obtained gNB (base station) receiving and sending time difference to LMF, and LMF uses the UE receiving and sending time difference and the gNB receiving and sending time difference to obtain the distance between UE and each TRP. Then add other known information (such as the geographic coordinates of TRP) to calculate the position of UE.
[0003] As mentioned above, for the Multi-RTT positioning method, in order to complete the measurement of the UE transceiver time difference or the gNB transceiver time difference, the TRP needs to send DL-PRS and the UE needs to send SRS-Pos, and then the UE or gNB can complete the measurement of the relevant measurement quantity based on DL-PRS and SRS-Pos. At present, when calculating the positioning time measurement quantities such as the UE transceiver time difference or the gNB transceiver time difference, it is assumed that the time measurement is performed at the antenna connector (Antenna Connector) position, but in fact, the time measurement position of the signal is in the baseband unit, so there will be a time measurement error, which exists for both signal transmission and signal reception, and is called the transceiver timing error. The existence of the transceiver timing error will cause the measurement results of all time-based positioning measurement quantities, including the UE transceiver time difference and the gNB transceiver time difference, to be inaccurate, thereby affecting the final positioning accuracy. Moreover, this transceiver timing error is time-varying, that is, the measurement quantities at different times have different transceiver timing errors.
[0004] However, in the prior art, the time points when the UE measures DL-PRS and the gNB measures SRS-Pos may be far apart, resulting in the two measurement quantities having very different transmit and receive timing errors, which is not conducive to the subsequent LMF or UE estimating or eliminating the transmit and receive timing errors when calculating the terminal position, affecting the final UE positioning accuracy.
[0005] As can be seen from the above, the information processing solutions related to positioning in the prior art have problems such as poor accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0713] (22) The TRP mentioned above may also be a gNB.
[0714] The following is an example of the solution provided in the embodiments of the present application.
[0715] Example 1 (configuration of measurement time window):
[0716] The solution of this example involves: according to the configured measurement time window information, the UE or TRP measures DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window, obtains at least one measurement quantity instance, and the UE or TRP reports the measurement quantity instance.
[0717] Specifically, this example gives a method for configuring a measurement time window. The characteristic of the measurement time window is that the UE or TRP can only complete the measurement process of DL-PRS and SRS-Pos within the specified measurement time window. In fact, the measurement behavior of the UE or TRP is restricted by introducing the measurement time window. A possible configuration scheme is to configure the same measurement time window for the UE and TRP in the Multi-RTT positioning method, so that the measurement time range of each measurement quantity in the Multi-RTT positioning method is the same, and the timestamps of these measurement quantities are also located in a short time interval. The transmit and receive timing errors of these measurement quantities are also similar, which better ensures that the LMF or UE eliminates the influence of the transmit and receive timing error by differential means when calculating the terminal position, avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
[0718] The measurement time window includes a UE measurement time window and a TRP measurement time window.
[0719] The UE measurement time window refers to a time window in which the UE measures the DL-PRS. In the time window, the UE obtains at least one UE measurement amount instance by measuring the DL-PRS.
[0720] The TRP measurement time window refers to the time window in which the TRP measures the SRS-Pos. Within this time window, the TRP obtains at least one TRP measurement quantity instance by measuring the SRS-Pos.
[0721] The UE or TRP does not measure the DL-PRS or SRS-Pos outside the measurement time window. In addition, when reporting a measurement instance, the UE or TRP also reports the timestamp corresponding to the measurement instance.
[0722] The UE measurement quantity examples described above include DL-RSTD, DL-RSRP, UE transmit and receive time difference, etc.; TRP measurement quantity examples include UL-RTOA, UL-RSRP, gNB transmit and receive time difference, etc.
[0723] Take DL-RSTD as an example. Figure 5As shown, the measurement time window of the UE is shown in the dotted rectangular box in the figure, in which a represents measurement quantity instance #1, b represents measurement quantity instance #2, c represents measurement quantity instance #3, d represents measurement report #1, and e represents measurement report #2. The UE in the figure is configured with one DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity in one DL-PRS cycle, and R1 to R5 in the figure represent each DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity in five DL-PRS cycles, respectively. The measurement time window may not include some measurement opportunities, such as R2. The UE reports one measurement quantity instance in the first measurement report (i.e., measurement report #1), which is measurement quantity instance #1, and the UE reports two measurement quantity instances in the second measurement report (i.e., measurement report #2), which are measurement quantity instance #2 and measurement quantity instance 3. These three measurement instances each have their own time stamp. Measurement instance #1 is obtained by measuring using R1, and its timestamp is T1; measurement instance #2 is obtained by measuring using R3-R4, and its timestamp is T2; measurement instance #3 is obtained by measuring using R5, and its timestamp is T3. In this way, when the UE reports these three measurement instances in two measurement reports, it not only has timestamp information, but also the timestamp can correspond to a very small range according to the configuration of the measurement time window, thereby facilitating timestamp matching between various measurement quantities. Since the transmit and receive timing error is time-varying, the measurement quantities that are the same or similar in time will have the same or similar transmit and receive timing error. In this way, timestamp matching based on the measurement time window becomes particularly important. This matching is conducive to the estimation or elimination of the transmit and receive timing error when the UE or LMF performs positioning solution.
[0724] By using the method in this example, a suitable measurement time window can be configured for the UE or TRP, thereby limiting the measurement time range of each measurement quantity, facilitating timestamp matching between various measurement quantities, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
[0725] Example 2 (parameters of the measurement time window):
[0726] The solution of this example involves: according to the configured measurement time window information, the UE or TRP measures DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window, obtains at least one measurement quantity instance, and the UE or TRP reports the measurement quantity instance.
[0727] 1. The measurement time window configuration method includes at least one of the following:
[0728] Method 1: Only the duration of the measurement time window is configured;
[0729] Method 2: Both the start time and duration of the measurement time window are configured.
[0730] Method 3: The start time and the end time of the measurement time window are configured at the same time.
[0731] 2. The configuration of the time in the configuration of the measurement time window includes at least one of the following:
[0732] Method 1: Configure in the form of Universal Coordinated Time (UTC);
[0733] Method 2: Configure in the form of system radio frame number (SFN) and time slot number (Slot number).
[0734] 3. Newly introduced measurement time window index number:
[0735] A combination of various parameters of a measurement time window, including its duration and other parameters, is determined by measuring the time index number.
[0736] It should be noted that for method 1 of the measurement time window configuration method, if only the duration of the measurement time window is configured, the starting time of the measurement time window can be defaulted to the time when the UE or TRP expects the DL-PRS or SRS-Pos to arrive. For DL-PRS, this time can be indicated by the parameters DL (downlink) -PRS (positioning reference signal) -expectedRSTD (expected reference signal time difference) and DL-PRS-expectedRSTD-uncertainty (uncertainty).
[0737] Using the method in this example, the measurement time window and the reference time of the measurement time window can be configured in different ways, so that the UE or TRP can determine the specific time position of the measurement time window according to the above configuration, and complete the measurement of DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window. This allows the LMF or UE to more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
[0738] Example 3 (measurement time window parameters for periodic or semi-persistent DL-PRS and SRS-Pos):
[0739] The solution of this example involves: according to the configured measurement time window information, the UE or TRP measures DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window, obtains at least one measurement quantity instance, and the UE or TRP reports the measurement quantity instance.
[0740] Where, for periodic or semi-persistent DL-PRS and SRS-Pos:
[0741] 1.DL-PRS: UE measurement time window length MTW UE for:
[0742]

[0750] M Pi is the number of SRS-Pos resource set instances or SRS-Pos measurement opportunities configured for the i-th TRP measurement instance, M Pi ≥1.
[0751] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, f represents measurement quantity instance #2, g represents measurement quantity instance #3, and h represents measurement report #2. The UE in the figure is configured with one DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity in one DL-PRS cycle, and R1 to R5 in the figure represent each DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity in five DL-PRS cycles respectively. The measurement time window may not include some measurement opportunities, such as R2 and R5. In the UE measurement time window #2, measurement report #2 includes two measurement quantity instances (i.e., measurement quantity instance #2 and measurement quantity instance #3), measurement quantity instance #2 is configured with two DL-PRS resource set instances or DL-PRS measurement opportunities (corresponding to R2 and R3), and measurement quantity instance #3 is configured with one DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity (corresponding to R4), so that the length of the UE measurement time window #2 is 3 DL-PRS cycles.
[0752] By using the method in this example, a suitable measurement time window can be configured for the UE or TRP, thereby limiting the measurement time range for each periodic or semi-continuous measurement quantity, facilitating timestamp matching between various periodic or semi-continuous measurement quantities, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
[0753] Example 4 (measurement time window parameters for aperiodic DL-PRS and SRS-Pos):
[0754] The solution of this example involves: according to the configured measurement time window information, the UE or TRP measures DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window, obtains at least one measurement quantity instance, and the UE or TRP reports the measurement quantity instance.
[0755] Among them, for non-periodic DL-PRS and SRS-Pos:
[0756] 1.DL-PRS: UE measurement time window length MTW′ UE for:
[0757]
[0758] LH DL-PRS is the duration or number of time slots occupied by a non-periodic DL-PRS resource set or DL-PRS measurement opportunity;

[0760] N Ai is the number of DL-PRS resource set instances or DL-PRS measurement opportunities configured for the i-th UE measurement instance, N Ai ≥1.
[0761] 2.SRS-Pos: length of TRP measurement time window MTW′ TRP for:
[0762]
[0763] LH SRS-Pos is the duration or number of time slots occupied by a non-periodic SRS-Pos resource set or SRS-Pos measurement opportunity;

[0765] M Ai is the number of SRS-Pos resource set instances or SRS-Pos measurement opportunities configured for the i-th TRP measurement instance, M Ai ≥1.
[0766] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, i represents measurement quantity instance #2, j represents measurement quantity instance #3, and k represents measurement report #2. R1 to R5 represent 5 DL-PRS resource set instances or DL-PRS measurement opportunities respectively. In UE measurement time window #2, measurement report #2 includes two measurement quantity instances. Measurement quantity instance #2 is configured with 2 DL-PRS resource set instances or DL-PRS measurement opportunities (corresponding to R2 and R3), and measurement quantity instance #3 is configured with 1 DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity (corresponding to R4). Assuming that the duration of each DL-PRS resource set instance or DL-PRS measurement opportunity is 1ms, the length of UE measurement time window #2 is 3ms.
[0767] By using the method in this example, a suitable measurement time window can be configured for the UE or TRP, thereby limiting the measurement time range of each non-periodic measurement quantity, facilitating timestamp matching between various non-periodic measurement quantities, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.

[0769] The solution of this example involves: according to the configured measurement time window information, the UE or TRP measures DL-PRS or SRS-Pos within the measurement time window, obtains at least one measurement quantity instance, and the UE or TRP reports the measurement quantity instance.

[0771] Solution 1: LMF directly configures the UE measurement time window:
[0772] Solution 2: Based on the UE's request, the LMF configures the UE measurement time window;
[0773] Solution 3: The UE reports the UE capability (the value range of each parameter J, K, N, and M). The LMF configures the UE measurement time window according to the parameter range that the UE can support.
[0774] 2. The configuration of the TRP measurement time window includes at least one of the following two possible methods:
[0775] Solution 1: LMF directly configures the TRP measurement time window:
[0776] Solution 2: Based on the request of TRP, LMF configures the TRP measurement time window.
[0777] 3. Configuration signaling of UE measurement time window and TRP measurement time window:
[0778] 1) For UE measurement time window:
[0779] LMF can be configured to the UE via LPP signaling.
[0780] )For TRP measurement time window:
[0781] LMF can be configured to TRP through NRPPa signaling.
[0782] By using the method in this example, a suitable measurement time window can be configured for the UE or TRP, thereby limiting the measurement time range of each measurement quantity, facilitating timestamp matching between various measurement quantities, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
[0783] Example 6 (configuration scheme of non-periodic DL-PRS):
[0784] The solution of this example involves: the aperiodic DL-PRS is configured by using an aperiodic DL-PRS resource, an aperiodic DL-PRS resource set, and an aperiodic DL-PRS resource set instance; wherein:
[0785] 1) An aperiodic DL-PRS resource set includes at least one aperiodic DL-PRS resource;
[0786] 2) A DL-PRS resource set instance includes at least one DL-PRS resource set. When there are more than one DL-PRS resource set, multiple non-periodic DL-PRS resource sets are repeatedly transmitted.
[0787] In addition, an aperiodic DL-PRS measurement opportunity refers to an aperiodic DL-PRS resource set instance.
[0788] By using the method in this example, the non-periodic DL-PRS can be configured using resources, resource sets, and resource set instances, so that the measurement time window of the non-periodic DL-PRS can be configured in this configuration method, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the impact of the transmit and receive timing error.
[0789] From the above, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring a measurement time window. Compared with the prior art, this scheme configures a suitable measurement time window (which can also be understood as a matching measurement time window, such as the same time window, or the time windows of the two are different within a threshold range) to the UE or TRP, thereby limiting the measurement time range of each measurement quantity, facilitating timestamp matching between various measurement quantities, so that the LMF or UE can more accurately estimate the transmit and receive timing error when calculating the terminal position, or eliminate the influence of the transmit and receive timing error, thereby avoiding the influence of the time-varying transmit and receive timing error on the accuracy of the terminal position calculation, thereby improving the system positioning accuracy.
