[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning measurement method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the case of satellite communications, since the signal transmission distance is long and the data transmission time is also long, for transmissions with uplink and downlink relationships, parameters for compensating transmission delay are introduced.

[0121] In order to better understand the global navigation satellite system GNSS positioning measurement method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the communication system to which the embodiment of the present application is applicable is first described below.

[0122] See also Figure 1a , Figure 1a The present invention provides a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system. The communication system may include but is not limited to a network device and a terminal device. Figure 1a The number and form of the devices shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. In actual applications, two or more network devices and two or more terminal devices may be included. Figure 1a The communication system shown includes a network device 101 and a terminal device 102 as an example.

[0123] It should be noted that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, fifth generation mobile communication system, 5G new air interface system, or other future new mobile communication systems.

[0124] The network device 101 in the embodiment of the present application is an entity on the network side for transmitting or receiving signals. For example, the network device 101 and may be an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB) in an NR system, a base station in other future mobile communication systems, or an access node in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device. The network device provided in the embodiment of the present application may be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), wherein the CU may also be referred to as a control unit (Control Unit). The CU-DU structure may be used to split the protocol layer of the network device, such as the base station, and the functions of some protocol layers are placed in the CU for centralized control, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers are distributed in the DU, and the DU is centrally controlled by the CU.

[0125] The terminal device 102 in the embodiment of the present application is an entity for receiving or transmitting signals on the user side, such as a mobile phone. The terminal device may also be referred to as a terminal device (terminal), a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal device (MT), etc. The terminal device may be a car with communication function, a smart car, a mobile phone (Mobile Phone), an Internet of Things terminal, a wearable device, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (Virtual Reality, VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (Augmented Reality, AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control (Industrial Control), a wireless terminal device in self-driving (Self-Driving), a wireless terminal device in remote surgery (Remote Medical Surgery), a wireless terminal device in smart grid (Smart Grid), a wireless terminal device in transportation safety (Transportation Safety), a wireless terminal device in smart city (Smart City), a wireless terminal device in smart home (Smart Home), etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal device.

[0126] With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, satellite communication is considered to be an important aspect of the future development of wireless communication technology. In the scenario of satellite communication, due to the long signal transmission distance between the transmitter and the receiver, data transmission has a large delay. For transmission with uplink and downlink relationships, the current standardization discussion has determined the introduction of offset Koffset parameters to compensate for transmission delay. Figure 1b and Figure 1c As shown, Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of the uplink and downlink timing alignment transmission mode on the network device side. Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of the transmission mode with misaligned uplink and downlink timing on the network device side.

[0127] The terminal device can compensate for the transmission delay through the ephemeris information and the related information of common timing advance (commonTA). The ephemeris information and the common TA information are notified to the terminal device through the system information.

[0128] In the scenario of satellite communication, the terminal device needs to obtain its own location information in order to compensate for uplink synchronization. When transmitting services with long transmission time, if the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) information expires, the terminal device needs to re-acquire the GNSS information.

[0129] For some terminal devices (such as Internet of Things (IoT) terminal devices), it may not support the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the GNSS module. In the related art, only the decentralized transmission of wireless cellular network and GNSS measurement is supported. When the terminal device obtains GNSS information, it will enter the idle state, resulting in increased transmission delay and increased power consumption of the terminal device.

[0130] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present application is for more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

The terminal device can determine whether it can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the indication of the first indication information, that is, determine whether it can perform the operation of wireless communication interaction with the network device while performing positioning measurement.

[0135] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device listens to control signaling sent by the network device while performing the measurements.

The terminal device can determine the moving speed interval in which it is located according to its moving speed, and can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to the correspondence between the moving speed interval information and the positioning measurement configuration information.

[0145] Optionally, the control signaling may be a physical layer signaling, or a medium access control layer (Medium Access Control, MAC) control element (Control Element, CE, or control unit), and the like.

[0146] In some implementations, the terminal device may also send second indication information to the network device, where the second indication information includes terminal device capabilities, where the terminal device capabilities include the ability of the terminal device to wirelessly interact with the network device when performing positioning measurements.

[0147] Optionally, the terminal device may have multiple capabilities.

[0148] Step 202: Perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information.

[0150] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device listens to control signaling sent by the network device while performing the measurements.

[0151] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device stops monitoring control signaling sent by the network device while performing measurements.

[0159] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 : is a flowchart of a GNSS positioning measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning measurement method of the present application embodiment is executed by a terminal device. The method can be executed independently or in combination with any other embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0160] Step 301: Send auxiliary information to a network device.

[0161] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can send auxiliary information to the network device, and the auxiliary information is used by the network device to determine the first positioning measurement configuration information and the first indication information, that is, the network device can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information and the first indication information of the terminal device based on the auxiliary information.

[0164] As a possible implementation method, the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement can be the time length for the terminal device to obtain positioning information that meets the requirements based on its own capabilities or status, it can be the average time length for performing measurements over a period of time, it can be the time length for the most recent positioning measurement, or it can be the measurement length agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network.

[0165] As a possible implementation manner, the moving speed information of the terminal device may be the current instantaneous moving speed of the terminal device, or may be the average moving speed of the terminal device in a recent period of time, and so on.

[0166] It can be understood that the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement is related to the capability of the terminal device, the moving speed information of the terminal device is related to the current state of the terminal device, and the auxiliary information includes information related to the capability and / or information related to the state of the terminal device.

Optionally, the terminal device can directly report the duration of performing positioning measurement of the terminal device, or determine the capability level of performing positioning measurement according to the duration of performing positioning measurement, and report the capability level of performing positioning measurement to the network device.

[0168] Step 302: Receive first positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device.

[0169] In some implementations, a terminal device can receive first positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first positioning measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following: a time domain location for performing positioning measurement; a time length for performing positioning measurement; and a trigger condition for performing positioning measurement. The terminal device can perform positioning measurement according to the first positioning measurement configuration information and the configuration.

[0170] Optionally, the trigger condition for executing the positioning measurement may be: the strength of the signal received by the terminal device is lower than a preset threshold, or the transmission interference between terminal devices increases, or the GNSS information is expired, etc.

[0171] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal device can receive first positioning measurement configuration information corresponding to the terminal device and sent by a network device, and can perform positioning measurement according to the first positioning measurement configuration information.

[0172] Step 303: Receive first indication information sent by the network device.

[0173] The first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device performs wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether it can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the indication of the first indication information, that is, determine whether it can perform the operation of wireless communication interaction with the network device while performing positioning measurement.

[0174] In some implementations, the first indication information may be determined based on the capability of the terminal device. That is, the network device may determine the first indication information in the first positioning measurement configuration information corresponding to the terminal device based on the capability of the terminal device (such as whether the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module are supported to work simultaneously).

[0175] Optionally, the terminal device may have multiple capabilities. Different terminal device capabilities correspond to different times required for performing positioning measurements. That is, the capabilities of the terminal device correspond to the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements included in the auxiliary information.

[0176] Optionally, the terminal device may directly report the duration of performing positioning measurement of the terminal device, or determine the capability level of performing positioning measurement according to the duration of performing positioning measurement, and report the capability level of performing positioning measurement to the network device.

[0177] As an example, the terminal device capabilities may include: capability 1, indicating that the terminal device does not support the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module; capability 2 and capability 3, indicating that the terminal device supports the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module, and the time required for the terminal device with capability 2 to perform positioning measurement is less than the time required for the terminal device with capability 3 to perform positioning measurement, that is, the terminal device with capability 2 has stronger capability and takes less time to perform measurement.

[0178] Step 304: Perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information.

[0179] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information. The terminal device can determine whether it can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device while performing the positioning measurement according to the indication of the first indication information.

[0180] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device listens to control signaling sent by the network device while performing the measurements.

[0181] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device stops monitoring control signaling sent by the network device while performing measurements.

[0182] In some implementations, a terminal device is capable of receiving first positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, where the first positioning measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following: a time domain location for performing positioning measurement; a time length for performing positioning measurement; and a trigger condition for performing positioning measurement.

[0183] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time domain position for performing positioning measurement, and the terminal device can perform positioning measurement at the time domain position.

[0184] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the terminal device can perform the positioning measurement within the time length.

[0185] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time domain location for performing positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met and perform positioning measurement at the time domain location when the trigger condition is met.

[0186] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and perform the positioning measurement within the time length when the trigger condition is met.

[0187] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes the time domain location for performing the positioning measurement, the time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and when the trigger condition is met, perform the positioning measurement within the time length at the time domain location.

[0188] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, if the first indication information indicates that the terminal device cannot perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement, then during the period when the terminal device performs positioning measurement, the network device may not perform wireless communication interaction with the terminal device, and may not perform dynamic uplink and downlink data scheduling for the terminal device or perform uplink and downlink configuration data scheduling, which can reduce overhead and improve system communication efficiency.

[0189] In summary, by sending auxiliary information to the network device, receiving the first positioning measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and receiving the first indication information sent by the network device, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device interacts with the network device through wireless communication when performing the positioning measurement. According to the first indication information, the positioning measurement is performed, so that the terminal device can obtain its own position information in a timely and effective manner, effectively reducing the transmission delay, saving the power consumption of the terminal device, and at the same time being able to obtain more accurate uplink synchronization compensation information, avoiding interference in uplink transmission between different terminal devices.

It should be noted that the GNSS positioning measurement method of the present application embodiment is executed by a terminal device. The method can be executed independently or in combination with any other embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0191] Step 401: receiving multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information includes first positioning measurement configuration information, and the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information also includes terminal device status information.

[0192] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal device receives multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information includes first positioning measurement configuration information, and the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information also includes terminal device status information.

[0193] The terminal device can obtain multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information, and can also obtain the corresponding relationship between the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information and the terminal device status information.

[0194] In some implementations, the state information is moving speed interval information.

[0195] The terminal device can obtain the mobile speed interval information corresponding to the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information. The terminal device can determine the mobile speed interval in which it is located according to its own mobile speed, and can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to the correspondence between the mobile speed interval information and the positioning measurement configuration information.

[0198] Step 402: Determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the plurality of candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to the correspondence between the terminal device state information and the candidate positioning measurement configuration information.

That is, the terminal device can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information corresponding to its own state from multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to its own state.

[0200] In some implementations, the status information is moving speed interval information. The terminal device can determine the moving speed interval in which it is located according to its moving speed, and can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to the correspondence between the moving speed interval information and the positioning measurement configuration information.

[0201] It can be understood that the first positioning measurement configuration information is adapted to the state of the terminal device.

[0202] As a possible implementation manner, the moving speed of the terminal device itself may be the current instantaneous moving speed of the terminal device, or may be the average moving speed of the terminal device in a recent period of time, and so on.

[0203] Step 403: Send second indication information to the network device.

[0204] The second indication information includes terminal device capabilities, and the terminal device capabilities include the ability of the terminal device to wirelessly interact with the network device when performing positioning measurements.

[0205] Optionally, the terminal device may have multiple capabilities. Different terminal device capabilities correspond to different times required for performing positioning measurements. That is, the capabilities of the terminal device correspond to the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements included in the auxiliary information.

[0206] As an example, the terminal device capabilities may include: capability 1, indicating that the terminal device does not support the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module; capability 2 and capability 3, indicating that the terminal device supports the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module, and the time required for the terminal device with capability 2 to perform positioning measurement is less than the time required for the terminal device with capability 3 to perform positioning measurement, that is, the terminal device with capability 2 has stronger capability and takes less time to perform measurement.

[0207] It can be understood that the network device can determine whether the terminal device can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the indication of the second indication information. If the second indication information indicates that the terminal device cannot perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement, then during the period when the terminal device performs positioning measurement, the network device can not perform wireless communication interaction with the terminal device, and does not perform dynamic uplink and downlink data scheduling or uplink and downlink configuration data scheduling for the terminal device, which can reduce overhead and improve system communication efficiency.

[0208] Step 404: Receive first indication information sent by the network device.

[0209] The first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device performs wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether it can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the indication of the first indication information, that is, determine whether it can perform the operation of wireless communication interaction with the network device while performing positioning measurement.

[0210] Step 405: Perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information.

[0211] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement according to the first indication information. The terminal device can determine whether it can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device while performing the positioning measurement according to the indication of the first indication information.

[0212] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device listens to control signaling sent by the network device while performing the measurements.

[0213] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurements, and the terminal device stops monitoring control signaling sent by the network device while performing measurements.

[0214] In some implementations, a terminal device is capable of receiving first positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, where the first positioning measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following: a time domain location for performing positioning measurement; a time length for performing positioning measurement; and a trigger condition for performing positioning measurement.

[0216] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the terminal device can perform the positioning measurement within the time length.

[0217] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time domain location for performing positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met and perform positioning measurement at the time domain location when the trigger condition is met.

[0218] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and perform the positioning measurement within the time length when the trigger condition is met.

[0219] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes the time domain location for performing the positioning measurement, the time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and when the trigger condition is met, perform the positioning measurement within the time length at the time domain location.

[0220] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, if the first indication information indicates that the terminal device cannot perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement, then during the period when the terminal device performs positioning measurement, the network device may not perform wireless communication interaction with the terminal device, and may not perform dynamic uplink and downlink data scheduling for the terminal device or perform uplink and downlink configuration data scheduling, which can reduce overhead and improve system communication efficiency.

[0221] In summary, by receiving multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information sent by a network device, the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information includes first positioning measurement configuration information, and the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information also includes terminal device status information, and according to the correspondence between the terminal device status information and the candidate positioning measurement configuration information, the first positioning measurement configuration information is determined from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information, and the second indication information is sent to the network device, and the first indication information sent by the network device is received. According to the first indication information, positioning measurement is performed, so that the terminal device can obtain its own position information in a timely and effective manner, effectively reducing the transmission delay, saving the power consumption of the terminal device, and at the same time, more accurate uplink synchronization compensation information can be obtained, and interference in uplink transmission between different terminal devices is avoided.

[0236] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 : is a flowchart of a GNSS positioning measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning measurement method in an embodiment of the present application is executed by a network device. The method can be executed independently or in combination with any other embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0237] Step 601: Send first indication information to a terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device performs wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement.

[0238] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement. The first indication information is specifically used to instruct the terminal device to listen to the control signaling sent by the network device. That is, the terminal device listens to the control signaling sent by the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the instruction of the first indication information.

[0239] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement. The first indication information is specifically used to instruct the terminal device to stop listening to the control signaling sent by the network device. That is, the terminal device stops listening to the control signaling sent by the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the instruction of the first indication information.

[0240] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, if the first indication information indicates that the terminal device cannot perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement, then during the period when the terminal device performs positioning measurement, the network device may not perform wireless communication interaction with the terminal device, and may not perform dynamic uplink and downlink data scheduling for the terminal device or perform uplink and downlink configuration data scheduling, which can reduce overhead and improve system communication efficiency.

[0241] In some implementations, the network device sends first positioning measurement configuration information to the terminal device, where the first positioning measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following: a time domain location for performing positioning measurement; a time length for performing positioning measurement; and a trigger condition for performing positioning measurement.

[0242] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time domain position for performing positioning measurement, and the terminal device can perform positioning measurement at the time domain position.

[0243] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the terminal device can perform the positioning measurement within the time length.

[0244] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time domain location for performing positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met and perform positioning measurement at the time domain location when the trigger condition is met.

[0245] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes a time length for performing the positioning measurement and a trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and perform the positioning measurement within the time length when the trigger condition is met.

[0246] In some possible implementations, the first positioning measurement configuration information includes the time domain location for performing the positioning measurement, the time length for performing the positioning measurement, and the trigger condition for the positioning measurement. The terminal device can determine whether the trigger condition is met, and when the trigger condition is met, perform the positioning measurement within the time length at the time domain location.

[0247] In some implementations, the network device can receive auxiliary information sent by the terminal device, the auxiliary information including at least one of time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement and moving speed information of the terminal device. The network device can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information and the first indication information to be sent to the terminal device based on the auxiliary information.

[0248] It can be understood that the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement corresponds to the capability of the terminal device. The stronger the capability of performing positioning measurement, the shorter the time required to perform positioning measurement. Optionally, the terminal device can directly report the duration of performing positioning measurement of the terminal device, or determine the capability level of performing positioning measurement according to the duration of performing positioning measurement, and report the capability level of performing positioning measurement to the network device.

[0249] In some implementations, the network device can send multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information to the terminal device, wherein the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information includes the first positioning measurement configuration information. The terminal device can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information.

[0250] As a possible implementation method, the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information also includes terminal device status information, and the terminal device can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information based on the correspondence between the terminal device status information and the positioning measurement configuration information.

[0251] Optionally, the state information is moving speed interval information. The terminal device can determine the moving speed interval in which it is located, and can determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information according to the correspondence between the moving speed interval information and the positioning measurement configuration information.

[0252] As another possible implementation manner, the network device sends a control signaling to the terminal device, where the control signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to determine the first positioning measurement configuration information from the multiple candidate positioning measurement configuration information.

[0253] In some implementations, the network device is further capable of receiving second indication information sent by the terminal device, where the second indication information includes terminal device capabilities, where the terminal device capabilities include the ability of the terminal device to wirelessly interact with the network device when performing positioning measurements.

[0254] Optionally, the terminal device may have multiple capabilities. Different terminal device capabilities correspond to different times required for performing positioning measurements. That is, the capabilities of the terminal device correspond to the time information required for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements included in the auxiliary information.

[0255] As an example, the terminal device capabilities may include: capability 1, indicating that the terminal device does not support the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module; capability 2 and capability 3, indicating that the terminal device supports the simultaneous operation of the wireless cellular network module and the positioning measurement module, and the time required for the terminal device with capability 2 to perform positioning measurement is less than the time required for the terminal device with capability 3 to perform positioning measurement, that is, the terminal device with capability 2 has stronger capability and takes less time to perform measurement.

[0256] It can be understood that the network device can determine whether the terminal device can perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement according to the indication of the second indication information. If the second indication information indicates that the terminal device cannot perform wireless communication interaction with the network device when performing positioning measurement, then during the period when the terminal device performs positioning measurement, the network device can not perform wireless communication interaction with the terminal device, and does not perform dynamic uplink and downlink data scheduling or uplink and downlink configuration data scheduling for the terminal device, which can reduce overhead and improve system communication efficiency.

[0257] In summary, by sending the first indication information to the terminal device, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device interacts with the network device through wireless communication when performing positioning measurement, so that the terminal device can obtain its own location information in a timely and effective manner, effectively reducing the transmission delay and saving the power consumption of the terminal device. At the same time, it can obtain uplink synchronization compensation information and avoid interference in uplink transmission between different terminal devices.
