[0061] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] The term "comprise" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus. In addition, the use of "and / or" in the specification and claims to indicate at least one of the connected objects, such as A and / or B, means that A alone, B alone, and both A and B are included.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0064] The traditional way of broadcasting positioning assistance information is based on user point-to-point service, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the user terminal accesses the high-precision positioning platform through the Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (Ntrip) protocol to upload local probabilistic positions and download regional corrections. This requires a two-way communication process. Mobile Communication is similar to other OTT (Over The Top) applications and serves purely as a transmission channel.

[0065] Another way is that in the existing positioning protocol, the positioning configuration can be sent by broadcasting the assistance data defined in the LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP). The currently defined positioning system messages are mainly divided into six categories: Global Navigation Satellite System Common Assistance Data, Global Navigation Satellite System General Assistance Data, Observed Time Difference of Arrival Assistance Data (OTDOA AssistanceData), Barometric Assistance Data, Ground Base Station Assistance Data (TBSAssistanceData), New Radio Downlink Time Difference of Arrival / Downlink Angle of Departure Assistance Data (NR DL-TDOA / DL-AoDAssistanceData). Figure 2As shown, the network auxiliary information (or described as network auxiliary data) is usually sent by the transparent transmission location management function (LMF) on the radio access network (RAN) side and is sent to the terminal using a broadcast message.

[0066] See also Figure 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing positioning services. The execution subject of the method is a terminal, and the specific steps include: step 301 and step 302.

[0067] Step 301: Obtain a threshold for selecting a system message to receive positioning assistance information;

[0068] Optionally, the threshold is used to indicate whether the terminal receives positioning assistance information using a system message.

[0069] Step 302: When the value of the first information is lower than a threshold, a first request is initiated, where the first request is used to request receiving positioning assistance information using a service plane bearer or a dedicated signaling bearer.

[0070] The first information represents a measurement value or a timing advance (TA) of the terminal.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the threshold is initially set or adjusted by the network side device based on the second information; wherein the second information includes at least one of the following: (1) configuration of downlink transmission resources of the system message; (2) terminal auxiliary information; (3) number of terminals requesting positioning auxiliary information; (4) number of retransmissions; (5) channel quality when requesting retransmission; (6) TA when requesting retransmission.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, the threshold includes at least one of the following: (1) a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) threshold value; (2) a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold value; (3) a signal to noise ratio (SNR) threshold value; and (4) a timing advance (TA) threshold value.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0074] The positioning assistance information is received via a data plane and / or an LPP message.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0076] If the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, an access request is initiated to enter a connected state.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0078] When the first information is higher than the threshold, the positioning assistance information is received through a system message. In this scenario, there is no specific limitation on the state of the terminal, for example, the state of the terminal can be connected, idle or deactivated.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0080] In the case that the terminal does not receive the positioning assistance information, the terminal requests the positioning assistance information by requesting a system message.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0082] If the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, and the number of system message requests is greater than a preset value, the terminal enters a connected state and receives the positioning assistance information through a data plane and / or an LPP message;

[0083] or,

[0084] If the number of system message requests is greater than a preset value, receiving the positioning assistance information through the data plane and / or LPP message;

[0085] or,

[0086] If the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, it enters a connected state and receives the positioning assistance information through a data plane and / or an LPP message.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0088] If the terminal is in a deactivated state, the positioning information is applied for and / or received through the data plane or LPP message.

[0089] Furthermore, the terminal may maintain a deactivated state and receive relevant configurations via small packet transmission.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0091] Acquire information about downlink transmission resources, where the downlink transmission resources are configured or adjusted by the network side device according to the threshold, and assist the network in configuring downlink transmission resources through the threshold, thereby reducing resource waste and improving transmission reliability.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, a first request is initiated when the value of the first information is lower than a threshold. The first request is used to request to receive positioning assistance information using a service plane bearer or a dedicated signaling bearer. In this way, the network side device can provide the terminal with a flexible way to send positioning assistance information, reduce resource waste, and improve transmission reliability.

[0093] See also Figure 4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for positioning service processing, the execution subject of the method is a network side device, and the specific steps include: step 401.

[0094] Step 401: Send a threshold for selecting a system message to receive positioning assistance information, where the threshold indicates whether the terminal receives positioning assistance information using a system message.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0096] Initially setting or adjusting the threshold according to the second information;

[0097] The second information includes at least one of the following: (1) configuration of downlink transmission resources for system messages; (2) terminal assistance information; (3) the number of terminals requesting positioning assistance information, for example, when the number of requests from multiple users exceeds the maximum number, the threshold is adjusted; (4) the number of retransmissions; (5) the channel quality when retransmission is requested; and (6) the TA when retransmission is requested.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0099] Downlink transmission resources are configured or adjusted according to the threshold, and information about the downlink transmission resources is sent to the terminal.

[0100] For example, the network side device configures a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) according to a threshold, and sends information such as the MCS to the terminal.

[0101] In the existing method of sending auxiliary information through positioning system messages, in order to ensure that all users in the cell, including edge users, can successfully receive the broadcast positioning-related auxiliary information, the MCS is usually determined based on the channel conditions of the edge users, and a lower MCS is usually required. Since the MCS configuration is relatively conservative, sending larger positioning system messages will occupy more network resources.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, reasonable configuration of downlink transmission resources can not only ensure that the terminal can reliably receive information, but also maximize the utilization of downlink transmission resources and reduce resource occupancy; further, selecting appropriate thresholds can allow users to choose the most appropriate service mode according to their own circumstances, ensuring reliable and efficient positioning configuration delivery.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends a threshold for receiving positioning assistance information to the terminal, and the threshold indicates whether the terminal receives positioning assistance information using a system message. In this way, the network side device can provide the terminal with a flexible way to send positioning assistance information, reduce resource waste, and improve transmission reliability.

[0104] The following describes the embodiments of the present application through the behavior of the terminal side, the behavior of the network side, Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3.

[0105] Behavior on the terminal side:

[0106] 1. The terminal receives a threshold for receiving positioning assistance information sent by the network. The threshold indicates whether to receive the positioning assistance information via system messages. The specific threshold can be at least one of the following: SINR, RSRP, SNR and other measurement quantities, or TA. The threshold can be sent via system messages or dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0107] 1.1. When the measurement value is higher than the threshold, the terminal receives the positioning information sent by the system message.

[0108] When the channel quality of the terminal is better than the threshold configured by the network, the system message can use a higher MCS within the threshold range to improve resource utilization, reduce the total number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) (nPRB), and thus increase the code rate.

[0109] 1.1.1. If the terminal does not receive the system message carrying positioning assistance information.

[0110] 1) Requesting positioning assistance information using a system information request. The protocol or network configuration limits the maximum number of system information requests (SI-requests). SI-requests can report relevant measurement results.

[0111] 2) If the terminal is in idle state (RRC_Idle) and deactivated state (RRC_Inactive) and / or the number of requests exceeds the limit, it can initiate random access, enter the connected state, and receive positioning messages through the data plane or LPP.

[0112] 3) If the terminal is in the deactivated state (RRC_Inactive), the positioning information is applied for and / or received through the data plane or LPP message via small data transmission (SDT).

[0113] 1.2. When the measurement value is lower than the threshold, the terminal receives the positioning message using the data plane and / or LPP message. If the terminal is in the idle state (RRC_Idle) or the deactivated state (RRC_Inactive), it initiates an access request and enters the connected state.

[0114] For terminals at the cell edge, since the network side configures the system message acceptance threshold, a higher MCS may be used for sending. It is difficult for edge users to correctly receive system messages. Unicast data plane communication or LPP communication can more reliably receive positioning messages.

[0115] Behavior of network-side devices (such as base stations):

[0116] 1. The network device sends a threshold for receiving positioning assistance information. The threshold indicates whether to receive the positioning assistance information via system messages. The specific threshold is at least one of the following: SINR, RSRP, SNR and other measurement quantities, or TA. This threshold can be sent via system messages or RRC dedicated signaling.

[0117] 1.1. The network side device initially sets the threshold based on one of the following: configuration of downlink transmission resources used by existing system messages, terminal assistance information, the number of terminals requesting positioning assistance information recorded by the network side device, the number of retransmissions recorded by the network side device and / or the channel quality or TA when requesting retransmission.

[0118] 1.2. Optionally, the network side adjusts the threshold according to the number of terminals in the cell that need to receive positioning assistance information.

[0119] 1.3. Optionally, the network side adjusts the threshold based on the number of retransmissions.

[0120] When there are a large number of users, the threshold can be appropriately relaxed so that more terminals can receive system messages.

[0121] 2.4. Optionally, the network-side device configures MCS and other downlink transmission resource configurations based on the threshold and sends the configuration to the terminal.

[0122] Configuring a properly configured MCS ensures reliable information reception for terminals and maximizes the MCS to reduce resource usage. For example, 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) can be used, meaning that a single PRB transmits more data. Selecting an appropriate threshold allows users to choose the most appropriate service mode based on their needs, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery of positioning configurations.

[0123] Example 1:

[0124] 1. The base station broadcasts using "MCS configuration 1", which is used to send system messages including positioning system messages;

[0125] The positioning system message may be understood as a system message carrying positioning assistance information.

[0126] 2. After receiving positioning applications from 10 UEs (such as Beidou positioning applications, etc.), the system information block (SIB) 1 is issued to indicate the threshold for the terminal to select system messages to receive positioning assistance information (for example, RSRP value 1), and "MCS configuration 2" (for example, "MCS configuration 2" > "MCS configuration 1") is used to broadcast the positioning system information and send it to the UE in SIB1.

[0127] 3. The idle UE receives SIB1 broadcast by the base station, saves the threshold, and when there is a positioning configuration requirement, if the RSRP (i.e., the first information includes RSRP) is greater than the threshold, the "MCS configuration 2" corresponding to the positioning system message configured in SIB1 is used to receive positioning assistance information.

[0128] Among them, "MCS configuration 2" includes relevant information of the service plane bearer or dedicated signaling bearer for the terminal to request to receive positioning assistance information.

[0129] 4. If the idle UE fails to receive the required positioning system message, it reports an SI-request request for the relevant system message, that is, requesting positioning assistance information.

[0130] 5. If the number of times the idle UE requests system messages exceeds the predefined maximum number, the measured RSRP is recorded.

[0131] 6. The UE initiates random access and switches to the connected state, sends a positioning assistance information request through an LPP message, and receives positioning assistance information through an LPP message.

[0132] Example 2:

[0133] 1. The base station broadcasts using "MCS configuration 1", which is used to send system messages including positioning system messages;

[0134] 2. Based on historical records (the number of user requests under "RSRP threshold 1" exceeds the maximum number), the base station adjusts the original RSRP threshold to "RSRP threshold 2" ("RSRP threshold 2" > "RSRP threshold 1") and sends it through the RRC release message when the UE turns to the idle state.

[0135] That is, the base station may adjust the RSRP threshold according to the number of terminals requesting positioning assistance information.

[0136] 3. The idle UE saves the threshold and, when there is a positioning configuration requirement, if the RSRP (i.e., the first information includes RSRP) is less than "RSRP threshold 2", the UE adopts "MCS configuration 2" corresponding to the positioning system message configured in SIB1 to receive positioning assistance information.

[0137] Among them, "MCS configuration 2" includes relevant information of the service plane bearer or dedicated signaling bearer for the terminal to request to receive positioning assistance information.

[0138] 4. The idle state UE initiates random access to switch to the connected state, and requests the positioning platform to configure relevant positioning assistance information through the data plane.

[0139] 5. After receiving the relevant request, the positioning platform sends the configuration of relevant positioning auxiliary information through the data plane.

[0140] Example 3:

[0141] 1. The base station carries the thresholds for instructing the terminal to select system messages to receive positioning assistance information in SIB1. The thresholds include: "RSRP threshold 1" and "TA threshold 2".

[0142] That is, the first information includes: RSRP threshold and TA threshold.

[0143] 2. The deactivated UE saves the threshold and, when there is a positioning configuration request, if RSRP is greater than "RSRP threshold 1" and TA is greater than "TA threshold 2", reports the auxiliary information related to the positioning configuration request via small packet transmission.

[0144] 3. The positioning server receives the positioning assistance information request reported by the UE and forwarded by the base station, and sends the configuration of the relevant positioning assistance information to the UE.

[0145] 4. The UE remains in the deactivated state and receives the configuration of related positioning assistance information through small packet transmission.
