Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a GNSS positioning measurement method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In satellite communication scenarios, due to the long signal transmission distance and data transmission time, parameters are introduced to compensate for transmission delays in transmissions involving uplink and downlink relationships. Terminal devices need to obtain their own location information to facilitate uplink synchronization compensation.

[0003] In related technologies, when a terminal device acquires Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information, it enters an idle state. If the terminal device cannot complete GNSS measurements in time when the network device needs to page it, it cannot respond to the paging in time, resulting in an unnecessary expansion of the paging area and increased signaling overhead.

[0095] Embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0096] To better understand the GNSS positioning and measurement method disclosed in this application, the communication system to which this application is applicable is first described below.

[0097] Please see Figure 1a , Figure 1a This application provides a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment. The communication system may include, but is not limited to, a network device and a terminal device. Figure 1a The number and form of devices shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of this application. In actual applications, it may include two or more network devices and two or more terminal devices. Figure 1a The communication system shown is exemplified by a network device 101 and a terminal device 102.

[0098] It should be noted that the technical solutions of this application embodiment can be applied to various communication systems. For example, Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, fifth-generation mobile communication systems, 5G New Radio systems, or other future new mobile communication systems.

[0099] The network device 101 in this embodiment is a network-side entity used for transmitting or receiving signals. For example, the network device 101 can be an evolved NodeB (eNB), a Transmission Reception 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. This embodiment does not limit the specific technology or device form used in the network device. The network device provided in this embodiment can be composed of a Central Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU). The CU can also be called a Control Unit. Using a CU-DU structure allows the protocol layer of a network device, such as a base station, to be separated. Some protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining or all protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU.

[0100] In this application embodiment, the terminal device 102 is a user-side entity used to receive or transmit signals, such as a mobile phone. The terminal device can also be referred to as a terminal, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc. The terminal device can be a car with communication capabilities, a smart car, a mobile phone, an Internet of Things (IoT) terminal, a wearable device, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, a wireless terminal device in a smart home, and so on. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology or device form used in the terminal device.

[0101] With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, satellite communication is considered an important aspect of future wireless communication technology development. In satellite communication scenarios, the long signal transmission distance between the transmitter and receiver leads to significant data transmission delays. For transmissions involving uplink and downlink connections, current standardization discussions have identified the introduction of an offset parameter, Koffset, to compensate for transmission delays. For example... Figure 1b and Figure 1c As shown, Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of the uplink and downlink time-aligned transmission method on the network device side. Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of uplink and downlink timing misalignment transmission on the network device side.

[0102] Terminal devices can compensate for transmission delays using ephemeris information and common timing advance (common TA) information. Ephemeris information and common TA information are communicated to the terminal devices via system information.

[0103] In satellite communication scenarios, terminal devices need to obtain their own location information for uplink synchronization compensation. When transmitting services with long transmission times, if the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information expires, the terminal device needs to reacquire the GNSS information.

[0104] In related technologies, when a terminal device acquires GNSS information, it enters an idle state. When a network device needs to page the terminal device, if the terminal device cannot complete the GNSS measurement in time, it cannot respond to the paging in time, resulting in an unnecessary expansion of the paging area and an increase in unnecessary signaling overhead.

[0105] It is understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0106] The GNSS positioning measurement method and apparatus provided in this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0107] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning and measurement method in this embodiment is executed by a terminal device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0108] Step 201: Receive a paging message sent by a network device. The paging message includes first indication information, which is used to determine the time domain range information for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement.

[0109] In this embodiment, the terminal device receives a paging message sent by the network device and performs location measurement after receiving the paging message. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the terminal device is in an idle state.

[0110] The paging message includes first indication information, which is used to determine the time domain range information when the terminal device performs positioning measurements. That is, the terminal device can perform positioning measurements within the time domain range determined by the first indication information.

[0111] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the start position of the time domain range, the end position of the time domain range, and the duration of the time domain range. The terminal device can determine the time domain range for performing positioning measurements based on the first indication information.

[0112] Optionally, the terminal device can initiate random access after the end of the time range. That is, the terminal device sends a random access message to the network device after the end of the time range.

[0113] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity (RACH Occasion, RO, Random Access Channel). The starting position of the time-domain range determined according to the first indication information is the time-domain location at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time-domain range is the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity.

[0114] Optionally, the terminal device can initiate random access on the first RO. That is, the terminal device can send a random access message to the network device on the first RO.

[0115] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate the time-domain location of multiple random access opportunities. The starting position of the time-domain range determined according to the first indication information is the time-domain location at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time-domain range is the time-domain location of the last of the multiple ROs.

[0116] Optionally, the terminal device can initiate random access at the first random access opportunity after the location measurement is completed. That is, the terminal device can send a random access message to the network device on the first RO among the multiple ROs after the location measurement is completed.

[0117] Step 202: Perform positioning measurements within the time domain according to the first instruction information.

[0118] In this embodiment, the terminal device can perform positioning measurements within a time domain range determined by the first indication information. The terminal device can perform positioning measurements at any time domain location within this time domain range, depending on its own positioning measurement capabilities and implementation details.

[0119] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device within the time domain range determined by the first indication information.

[0120] In summary, by receiving paging messages sent by network devices, which include first indication information used to determine the time domain range for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements, and performing positioning measurements within that time domain range according to the first indication information, the terminal device can obtain its own location information in a timely and effective manner even when idle. This effectively reduces transmission latency, saves power consumption, and avoids unnecessary paging signaling overhead caused by the terminal device's failure to respond to paging messages in a timely manner, thus effectively saving system signaling overhead and improving system communication efficiency.

[0121] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning and measurement method in this embodiment is executed by a terminal device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0122] Step 301: Receive a paging message sent by a network device. The paging message includes first indication information, which indicates at least one of the following: the start position of the time domain range, the end position of the time domain range, and the duration of the time domain range.

[0123] In this embodiment, the terminal device receives a paging message sent by the network device and performs location measurement after receiving the paging message. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the terminal device is in an idle state.

[0124] The paging message includes first indication information, which indicates at least one of the following:

[0125] The starting position of the time domain range for which the terminal device performs positioning measurements, the ending position of the time domain range for which the terminal device performs positioning measurements, and the duration of the time domain range for which the terminal device performs positioning measurements.

[0126] Based on the first instruction information, the terminal device can determine the time domain range in which it performs positioning measurements.

[0127] Step 302: Perform positioning measurement within the time domain according to the first instruction information.

[0128] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving a paging message, the terminal device performs positioning measurement within a time domain range determined according to the first indication information in the paging message.

[0129] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement at any time domain location within the time domain range, based on its own capabilities and implementation status.

[0130] Step 303: Within this time domain, stop listening to paging messages sent by network devices.

[0131] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can stop listening to the paging messages sent by the network device within the time domain range for performing positioning measurements as determined by the first indication information in the paging message, and will no longer receive paging messages sent by the network device within that time domain range.

[0132] Step 304: After the end of this time domain range, initiate random access.

[0133] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can initiate random access after the end of the time domain range, send a random access message to the network device, and respond to the paging message sent by the network device.

[0134] In some implementations, the terminal device can send a random access message to the network device and respond to the paging message sent by the network device at a random access time specified by the protocol or configured by the network device after the end of the time domain range.

[0135] As an example, please see Figure 6a , Figure 6aThis is a schematic diagram of a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6a As shown, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. Upon receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain range information (start position, end position, duration, etc.) indicated by the first indication information in the paging message. The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain location within this range, depending on its capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. After the end of this time domain range, the terminal device can initiate random access by sending a random access message to the network device, responding to the network device's paging.

[0136] In summary, by receiving paging messages sent by network devices, which include first indication information indicating at least one of the following: the start position of a time domain range, the end position of a time domain range, and the duration of the time domain range, positioning measurements are performed within the time domain range based on the first indication information. Within the time domain range, listening for paging messages sent by network devices is stopped. After the end of the time domain range, random access is initiated. This allows terminal devices to obtain their own location information in a timely and effective manner when idle, effectively reducing transmission latency, saving power consumption of terminal devices, and avoiding unnecessary paging signaling overhead caused by terminal devices not responding to paging messages in a timely manner. This effectively saves system signaling overhead and improves system communication efficiency.

[0137] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning and measurement method in this embodiment is executed by a terminal device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0138] Step 401: Receive a paging message sent by a network device. The paging message includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the time domain location of the first random access opportunity.

[0139] The starting position of the time domain range in which the terminal device performs positioning measurement is the time domain position at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time domain range is the time domain position at the first random access opportunity.

[0140] In this embodiment, the terminal device receives a paging message sent by the network device and performs location measurement after receiving the paging message. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the terminal device is in an idle state.

[0141] In this embodiment of the application, the first indication information in the paging message is used to indicate the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity. The terminal device can determine, based on the first indication information, the starting position of the time-domain range for performing positioning measurements as the time-domain location of receiving the paging message, and the ending position as the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity.

[0142] Step 402: Perform positioning measurement within the time domain according to the first instruction information.

[0143] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving a paging message, the terminal device performs positioning measurement within a time domain range determined according to the first indication information in the paging message.

[0144] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement at any time domain location within the time domain range, based on its own capabilities and implementation status.

[0145] Step 403: Within this time domain, stop listening to paging messages sent by network devices.

[0146] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can stop listening to the paging messages sent by the network device within the time domain range for performing positioning measurements as determined by the first indication information in the paging message, and will no longer receive paging messages sent by the network device within that time domain range.

[0147] Step 404: Initiate random access at the first random access opportunity.

[0148] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can initiate random access at the first random access time indicated by the first indication information, send a random access message to the network device, and respond to the paging message sent by the network device.

[0149] As an example, please see Figure 6b , Figure 6b This is a schematic diagram of a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6bAs shown, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. After receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain location of the first RO indicated by the first indication information in the paging message. The starting position of this time domain range is the time domain location where the paging message was received, and the ending position is the time domain location of the first RO. The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain location within this time domain range, depending on its own capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. The terminal device can initiate random access on the first RO, sending a random access message to the network device on the first RO in response to the network device's paging.

[0150] In summary, by receiving paging messages sent by network devices, which include first indication information indicating the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity, and performing positioning measurements within that time-domain range based on the first indication information, the system stops listening to paging messages sent by network devices within that time-domain range, and initiates random access at the first random access opportunity. This allows terminal devices to obtain their own location information promptly and effectively even when idle, effectively reducing transmission latency, saving power consumption, and avoiding unnecessary paging signaling overhead caused by terminal devices failing to respond to paging messages in a timely manner. This effectively saves system signaling overhead and improves system communication efficiency.

[0151] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning and measurement method in this embodiment is executed by a terminal device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0152] Step 501: Receive a paging message sent by a network device. The paging message includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the time-domain location of multiple random access opportunities.

[0153] The starting position of the time domain range is the time domain position at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time domain range is the time domain position of the last random access opportunity among the multiple random access opportunities.

[0154] In this embodiment, the terminal device receives a paging message sent by the network device and performs location measurement after receiving the paging message. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the terminal device is in an idle state.

[0155] In this embodiment of the application, the first indication information in the paging message is used to indicate the time-domain location of multiple random access opportunities. The terminal device can determine, based on the first indication information, the starting position of the time-domain range for performing positioning measurements as the time-domain location of receiving the paging message, and the ending position as the time-domain location of the last random access opportunity among the multiple random access opportunities.

[0156] Step 502: Perform positioning measurement within the time domain according to the first instruction information.

[0157] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving a paging message, the terminal device performs positioning measurement within a time domain range determined according to the first indication information in the paging message.

[0158] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can perform positioning measurement at any time domain location within the time domain range, based on its own capabilities and implementation status.

[0159] Step 503: Within this time domain, stop listening to paging messages sent by network devices.

[0160] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can stop listening to the paging messages sent by the network device within the time domain range for performing positioning measurements as determined by the first indication information in the paging message, and will no longer receive paging messages sent by the network device within that time domain range.

[0161] Step 504: Initiate random access at the first random access opportunity after the positioning measurement is completed.

[0162] In this embodiment, the terminal device can perform positioning measurements at any time-domain location within the specified time-domain range, based on its own capabilities. Among the multiple random access opportunities indicated by the first indication information, the terminal device can initiate random access during the first random access opportunity after the positioning measurement is completed, sending a random access message to the network device and responding to a paging message sent by the network device.

[0163] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the timing of the random access initiated by the terminal device reflects the positioning and measurement capabilities of the terminal device. The stronger the positioning and measurement capabilities of the terminal device, the shorter the time required to perform positioning and measurement, and the earlier the random access can be initiated.

[0164] As an example, please see Figure 6c , Figure 6c This is a schematic diagram of a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6cAs shown, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. After receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain positions of multiple Remote Routers (ROs) indicated by the first indication information in the paging message (e.g., RO#0-RO#3 in the figure). The starting position of this time domain range is the time domain position where the paging message was received, and the ending position is the time domain position of the last RO among the multiple ROs (i.e., RO#3 in the figure). The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain position within this time domain range, depending on its own capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. The terminal device can initiate random access on the first RO after the positioning measurement is completed, sending a random access message to the network device in response to the network device's paging. For example, Figure 6c In this context, the first Remote Area (RO) after terminal device 1 completes its positioning measurement is designated as RO#1, and terminal device 1 can initiate random access on RO#1. Similarly, the first RO after terminal device 2 completes its positioning measurement is designated as RO#2, and terminal device 2 can initiate random access on RO#2. It can be understood that the timing of the random access initiated by a terminal device reflects that terminal device 1 has a stronger positioning measurement capability than terminal device 2.

[0165] In summary, by receiving paging messages sent by network devices, which include first indication information indicating the time-domain location of multiple random access opportunities, and performing location measurements within that time-domain range based on the first indication information, the system stops listening to paging messages sent by network devices within that time-domain range. Random access is initiated at the first random access opportunity after the location measurement is completed. This allows terminal devices to obtain their own location information promptly and effectively in idle states, effectively reducing transmission latency, saving terminal device power consumption, and avoiding unnecessary paging signaling overhead caused by terminal devices failing to respond to paging messages in a timely manner. This effectively saves system signaling overhead and improves system communication efficiency.

[0166] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a GNSS positioning and measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the GNSS positioning and measurement method in this embodiment is executed by a network device. This method can be executed independently or in conjunction with any other embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0167] Step 701: Send a paging message to the terminal device. The paging message includes first indication information, which is used to determine the time domain range information for the terminal device to perform positioning measurement.

[0168] In this embodiment, the network device sends a paging message to the terminal device, and the terminal device can perform location measurement after receiving the paging message. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the terminal device is in an idle state.

[0169] The paging message includes first indication information, which determines the time domain range information for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements. That is, the terminal device can perform positioning measurements within the time domain range determined by the first indication information. The terminal device can perform positioning measurements at any time domain location within this time domain range, depending on its own positioning measurement capabilities and implementation details.

[0170] In this embodiment of the application, within the time domain range determined by the first indication information, the network device can stop sending paging messages to the terminal device, thereby avoiding unnecessary signaling overhead caused by the terminal device's inability to respond to the paging in a timely manner.

[0171] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the start position of the time domain range, the end position of the time domain range, and the duration of the time domain range. The terminal device can determine the time domain range for performing positioning measurements based on the first indication information.

[0172] Optionally, the network device can listen for random access messages sent by the terminal device after the end of this time range.

[0173] As an example, please see Figure 6a The network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. Upon receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain range information (start position, end position, duration, etc.) indicated by the first indication information in the paging message. The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain location within this range, depending on its capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening for paging messages from the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. After the end of this time domain range, the terminal device can initiate random access by sending a random access message to the network device, responding to the network device's paging. After the end of this time domain range, the network device listens for random access messages from the terminal device.

[0174] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity. The starting position of the time-domain range determined by the first indication information is the time-domain location at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time-domain range is the time-domain location of the first random access opportunity.

[0175] Optionally, the terminal device can listen for random access messages sent by the terminal device after the first RO.

[0176] As an example, please see Figure 6b The network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. Upon receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain location of the first Remote Area Unit (RO) indicated by the first indication information in the paging message. The start position of this time domain range is the time domain location where the paging message was received, and the end position is the time domain location of the first RO. The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain location within this range, depending on its capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. The terminal device can initiate random access on the first RO, sending a random access message to the network device on the first RO in response to the network device's paging. The network device listens for random access messages sent by the terminal device after the first RO.

[0177] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate the time-domain location of multiple random access opportunities. The starting position of the time-domain range determined by the first indication information is the time-domain location at which the paging message is received, and the ending position of the time-domain range is the time-domain location of the last of the multiple ROs.

[0178] Optionally, the network device can listen for random access messages sent by the terminal device after the first of the plurality of ROs.

[0179] As an example, please see Figure 6cThe network device sends a paging message to the terminal device. Upon receiving the paging message, the terminal device determines the time domain range for performing GNSS measurements based on the time domain positions of multiple Remote Area Units (ROs) indicated by the first indication information in the paging message (e.g., RO#0-RO#3 in the diagram). The starting position of this time domain range is the time domain position at which the paging message was received, and the ending position is the time domain position of the last RO among the multiple ROs (e.g., RO#3 in the diagram). The terminal device can perform GNSS measurements at any time domain position within this time domain range, depending on its capabilities and implementation. Within this time domain range, the terminal device can stop listening to paging messages sent by the network device, and the network device also stops sending paging messages to the terminal device within this time domain range. The terminal device can initiate random access on the first RO after completing the positioning measurement, sending a random access message to the network device in response to the network device's paging. The network device can listen for random access messages sent by the terminal device after the first RO among the multiple ROs (e.g., RO#0 in the diagram). The network device can determine the terminal device's capability to perform positioning measurements based on the time domain position of the random access initiated by the terminal device. for example, Figure 6c The network device listens for random access messages sent by terminal devices after RO#0. It detects that terminal device 1 initiates random access on RO#1 and terminal device 2 initiates random access on RO#2. It can be understood that the network device can determine that terminal device 1 has a stronger positioning and measurement capability than terminal device 2 based on the temporal location of the random access initiation.

[0180] In summary, by sending a paging message to the terminal device, which includes first indication information used to determine the time domain range information for the terminal device to perform positioning measurements, the terminal device can obtain its own location information in a timely and effective manner when idle, effectively reducing transmission latency, saving power consumption of the terminal device, and avoiding unnecessary paging signaling overhead caused by the terminal device's failure to respond to the paging message in a timely manner, thus effectively saving system signaling overhead and improving system communication efficiency.
