[0002] In a mobile communication network, data services (such as broadcast services, multicast services, etc.) need to be performed between the terminal and the network-side equipment. At the same time, some external clients or core network equipment (such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)) or terminal applications need to obtain the location of the terminal. Therefore, a positioning service needs to be performed between the network-side equipment and the terminal to obtain the location information of the terminal.

[0003] The terminal can be in different states in different situations during the communication process with the network side device. Currently, the terminal can support an idle state, an inactive state, and a connected state. Here, states other than the connected state, such as the idle state and the inactive state, can be referred to as non-connected states in this disclosure.

[0004] In addition, when the terminal is executing some positioning services, the terminal can only be in a specific state, such as a non-connected state. For data services, some data services can be received by the terminal in both the non-connected state and the connected state, while other data services can only be received in the connected state.

[0053] In order to facilitate understanding of the service conflict handling method and the positioning configuration information processing method in the embodiment of the present application, the following related contents are first introduced:

[0054] 1. Uplink Positioning

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the uplink positioning process includes the following steps 0 to 9:

[0056] Step 0: LMF obtains the sending and receiving point (TRP) information;

[0057] Step 1: LMF obtains UE positioning capabilities:

[0058] Step 2: LMF sends NR Positioning Protocol A (NRPPa) message Positioning Information Request (POSITIONINGINFORMATION REQUEST) to the serving base station (gNB), requesting the SRS configuration information of the target UE;

[0059] Step 3: The serving base station determines the SRS configuration and sends the SRS configuration to the target UE;

[0060] Step 4: The serving base station sends the SRS configuration to the LMF via the NRPPa message POSITIONINGINFORMATION RESPONSE;

[0061] Step 5: For semi-persistent or aperiodic SRS, LMF will request the serving base station to activate the SRS configuration through the NRPPa message Positioning Activation Request. The SRS activates the SRS configuration through the Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or Downlink Control Information (DCI). After activation, the serving base station feeds back the NRPPa message NRPPa Positioning Activation Response to confirm that the SRS has been activated.

[0062] Step 6: LMF sends the SRS configuration to the relevant base station through the NRPPa message measurement request (MEASUREMENT REQUEST), and requests the relevant base station to perform SRS measurement based on the configuration;

[0063] Step 7: The relevant base station performs SRS measurement based on the configuration;

[0064] Step 8: The relevant base station feeds back the SRS measurement result via the NRPPa message Measurement Response;

[0065] Step 9: LMF sends NRPPa message POSITIONING DEACTIVATION to the serving cell to deactivate SRS.

[0066] 2. Downlink Positioning

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the downlink positioning process includes the following steps 0 to 5:

[0068] Step 0: LMF exchanges downlink (DL) PRS configuration with base stations (including serving base stations and neighboring base stations);

[0069] The DL PRS configuration exchange includes at least one of the following:

[0070] DL-PRS configuration of the TRP of the serving base station;

[0071] The Physical Cell Identifier (PCI), Cell Global Identifier (CGI) and TRP ID of the TRP serving the base station;

[0072] Timing information of serving base station;

[0073] Spatial direction information of DL-PRS resources of the TRP of the serving base station;

[0074] DL-PRS resource geographic coordinate information of the TRP serving the base station.

[0075] Step 1: LMF obtains UE positioning capability;

[0076] Step 2: LMF provides auxiliary information to UE;

[0077] The auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0078] DL-PRS configuration of the candidate NR TRP;

[0079] Physical cell ID (PCI), global cell ID (GCI), and TRP ID of the candidate NR TRP for measurement;

[0080] Timing relative to the serving (reference) TRP of the candidate NR TRP.

[0081] Step 3: The LMF sends an LPP request location information message to the UE, including an indication of the requested DL measurement;

[0082] Step 4: The UE performs DL measurements from all base stations based on the assistance data in step 2;

[0083] For example, for the downlink time difference of arrival (TDOA) positioning method: measure the downlink reference signal time difference (DL RSTD) and the downlink positioning reference signal received power (DL-PRS-RSRP);

[0084] For the downlink departure angle method: measure DL-PRS-RSRP;

[0085] For the multi-round-trip time positioning (Multi-RTT) method: measure the UE sending and receiving time difference and DL-PRS-RSRP.

[0086] Step 5: UE reports DL measurements or position estimates (UE-based only) to LMF.

[0087] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the positioning service can be a positioning service performed in a connected state, a positioning service that can be performed in a connected state and a non-connected state, or a positioning service that can only be performed in a non-connected state (such as low power and high precision low power and high precision positioning (Low Power High Accuracy Positioning, LPHAP) and other services).

[0088] 3. Introduction to LPHAP

[0089] LPHAP is an integral part of industrial applications today. Examples of target applications for LPHAP are asset tracking, vehicle tracking, and tool tracking in process automation. Table 1 below gives the requirements for various LPHAP use cases.

[0090] Table 1 LPHAP use case requirements

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] Among them, use case 1 in Table 1 is used for process automation, such as car tracking (outdoor);

[0094] Use case 2 in Table 1 is for process automation, such as asset tracking;

[0095] Use case 3 in Table 1 is for tool tracking in flexible modular assembly areas, such as in smart factories;

[0096] Use case 4 in Table 1 is for process automation, such as sequential containers (intralogistics);

[0097] Use case 5 in Table 1 is for process automation, such as palette tracking in turbine construction;

[0098] Use case 6 in Table 1 is for flexible modular assembly areas, such as tracking artifacts in assembly areas and warehouses (indoors and outdoors);

[0099] Use case 7 in Table 1 is for tool allocation in a flexible modular assembly area, such as in a smart factory (allocating tools to vehicles in a production line, left / right side);

[0100] Use case 8 in Table 1 is for flexible modular assembly areas, such as positioning of autonomous vehicles for monitoring purposes (e.g., vehicles lined up in a row at a distance of 1.5 meters);

[0101] Use case 9 in Table 1 is for logistics, such as asset tracking.

[0102] Of course, low-power positioning can also be applied to positioning scenarios in other related technologies.

[0103] In the above use cases 1 to 9, for use case 6, the accuracy is required to be 1m, the positioning service interval is 15s to 30s, and the battery life is as long as 6 to 12 months. In particular, the battery life poses a great challenge to terminal power saving.

[0104] Among them, for LPHAP positioning, the UE will perform positioning in a non-connected state.

[0105] 4. Introduction to Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) or Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS) of New Radio (NR) or Long Term Evolution (LTE):

[0106] In the LTE system, MBMS services can be sent in the following two ways:

[0107] MBMS / MBS transmission method 1: In the Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, it is sent through the Physical Multicast Channel (PMCH). Among them, the control information is sent through the system information (such as SIB13) and the Multicast Control Channel (MCCH), and the data is sent through the Multicast Traffic Channel (MTCH).

[0108] MBMS / MBS transmission method 2: Send through the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) scheduled by the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH). Among them, the control information is sent through the system information (such as SIB20) and the single cell broadcast control channel (Single Cell Multicast Control Channel, SC-MCCH), and the data is sent through the single cell broadcast traffic channel (Single Cell Multicast Traffic Channel, SC-MTCH). Among them, SC-MCCH is sent through the PDSCH scheduled by the single cell radio network temporary identity (Single Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity, SC-RNTI) PDCCH, and SC-MTCH is sent through the PDSCH scheduled by the group radio network temporary identity (Group Radio Network Temporary Identity, G-RNTI) PDCCH.

[0109] The reception of NR broadcast and multicast services adopts different methods. Broadcast adopts delivery mode 2, that is, in order to take into account that idle / inactive / connected UEs can receive, all broadcast-related configuration information and service data are sent by broadcast; while multicast services are sent in delivery mode 1, that is, only connected UEs can obtain multicast service-related configuration information and receive service data through dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

[0110] It should be noted that the data service in the present disclosure may be a unicast data service, a broadcast data service, a multicast broadcast service (MBS) or a multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) or other data services related to data flow.

[0111] The following describes in detail the service conflict handling method and the positioning configuration information processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0112] An embodiment of the present application provides a service conflict handling method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps 401 to 403:

[0113] Step 401: The terminal performs positioning services and receives data services in a non-connected state.

[0114] The non-connected state includes at least one of an idle state and an inactive state, that is, the terminal can perform positioning services and receive data services in the inactive state; it can also perform positioning services and receive data services in the idle state.

[0115] Optionally, the positioning service is an LPHAP service, and the non-connected state is an inactive state. That is, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can execute the LPHAP service in the inactive state and receive the data service.

[0116] Optionally, the data service is a broadcast service.

[0117] Step 402: When the terminal needs to enter a connected state due to a data service, the terminal sends a first message to a first network side device.

[0118] Here, the first network side device may be a base station.

[0119] The first message is used to request to enter a connected state or maintain a non-connected state. Here, the connected state may be an RRC connected state. Optionally, the first message is an RRC resume request (RRCResumeRequest) message.

[0120] In addition, the terminal can enter the connected state through at least one of the following:

[0121] Establishing a connection between the terminal and the first network side device;

[0122] Reestablishing the connection between the terminal and the first network side device;

[0123] Restore the connection between the terminal and the first network side device.

[0124] That is, a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be established, or a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be rebuilt, or a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be restored through a first message request to enter a connection state.

[0125] In addition, the terminal has a need to enter a connected state due to data services, that is, the terminal needs to enter a connected state to receive data services. However, the terminal is currently performing a positioning service in a non-connected state. In this case, the data service that needs to be received in a connected state conflicts with the positioning service that needs to be performed in a non-connected state. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to decide whether the terminal enters a connected state or remains in a non-connected state. In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal can send a first message to the first network side device, requesting to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state, and then enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state based on a response message replied by the first network side device to resolve the above conflict.

[0126] Step 403: The terminal receives a response message to the first message sent by the first network side device, and enters a connected state or remains in a non-connected state according to the response message.

[0127] It can be seen from the above steps 401 to 403 that in one embodiment of the present application, the terminal can perform positioning services and receive data services in a non-connected state. In this process, if the terminal needs to enter a connected state due to a data service, the terminal can request the first network side device to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state. It can be seen that when the positioning service that needs to be executed in a non-connected state and the data service that needs to be received in a connected state exist at the same time, that is, when the two conflict, the terminal can request the first network side device to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state, and then enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state according to the response message replied by the first network side device to resolve the conflict. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing the corresponding positioning service and data service when a conflict occurs between the positioning service that needs to be executed in a non-connected state and the data service that needs to be received in a connected state, thereby resolving the conflict and ensuring the stability of the terminal during the positioning and data service process.

[0128] Optionally, before the terminal sends the first message to the first network side device, the method further includes the following step A-1:

[0129] Step A-1: ​​When the terminal only needs to enter the connected state due to a data service, the terminal determines whether to send the first message according to the priority of the data service and the priority of the positioning service;

[0130] When the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, it is determined to send the first message; and when the priority of the positioning service is higher than the priority of the data service, it is determined not to send the first message.

[0131] It can be seen that if the terminal needs to enter the connected state only due to data service, the terminal can determine whether to send the first message based on the priority of the data service and the positioning service. It should be emphasized here that the above step A-1 is performed before the above step 402, that is, in the process of the terminal performing positioning service and receiving data service in the non-connected state, if for some reason the terminal only needs to enter the connected state to receive data service (there is only a need to enter the connected state because of data service), then it can be determined based on the priority of the data service and the positioning service whether to send the first message. If the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the first message is sent. In this case, the first message is used to request to enter the connected state.

[0132] Optionally, the initiation condition of the first message satisfies at least one of the following B-1 to B-3:

[0133] Item B-1: When the terminal only needs to enter the connected state due to a data service, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service;

[0134] Item B-2: When the terminal has a need to enter a connected state due to a data service and a need to initiate a target request, and the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service, wherein the target request is related to the positioning configuration information of the positioning service;

[0135] Item B-3: When the terminal has a need to enter a connected state due to a data service and to initiate the target request, and the priority of the data service is lower than the priority of the positioning service, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service.

[0136] It should be noted that the above item B-1 belongs to the situation where it is determined that the first message needs to be sent after executing the above step A-1. That is, in the process of the terminal performing positioning services and receiving data services in a non-connected state, if for some reason the terminal only needs to enter the connected state to receive data services (there is only a need to enter the connected state because of the data service), then it can be determined whether to send the first message based on the priority of the data service and the positioning service. If the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the first message is sent to request to enter the connected state. Therefore, in this case, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service. For example, when the data service is a multicast service, the initiation condition is to request the reception of the multicast service.

[0137] The contents described in the above items B-2 and B-3 belong to the situation where the terminal has the need to enter the connected state due to data services and to initiate a target request (i.e., a request related to the positioning configuration information). The terminal needs to enter the connected state to receive data services and needs to initiate a request related to the positioning configuration information. It can be seen that the contents described in the above items B-2 and B-3 belong to the situation where the above two needs exist at the same time. Here, when the positioning configuration information of the terminal is invalid, it is necessary to initiate the above target request. For example, a positioning configuration is configured for area A, but the terminal moves out of area A, then it is necessary to initiate the above target request.

[0138] Item B-2 indicates that if the terminal has both of the above requirements, then when the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the terminal can give priority to the data service. Therefore, in this case, the terminal can send the above first message according to the data service to request to enter the connection state, that is, in this case, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service. For example, when the data service is a multicast service, the initiation condition is to request the reception of the multicast service.

[0139] For example, a positioning configuration is configured for area A, but the terminal moves out of area A and needs to initiate the above-mentioned target request. If the terminal also has the need to enter the connected state due to data services, and the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the terminal can send the above-mentioned first message to request to enter the connected state. In this case, the network side will instruct the terminal to enter the connected state.

[0140] Item B-3 above indicates that if the terminal has both of the above requirements, then when the priority of the positioning service is higher than the priority of the data service, the terminal can give priority to the positioning service. Therefore, in this case, the terminal can send the above first message according to the data service to request to maintain a non-connected state, so that the first network side device performs related actions to update the positioning configuration information (such as updating the positioning configuration information), and returns a response message to instruct the terminal to maintain a non-connected state. That is, in this case, the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service.

[0141] For example, a positioning configuration is configured for area A, but the terminal moves out of area A and needs to initiate the above-mentioned target request. If the terminal also has the need to enter the connected state due to data services, and the priority of the positioning service is higher than the priority of the data service, the terminal can send the above-mentioned first message to request new positioning configuration information from the network side. In this case, the network side will not instruct the terminal to enter the connected state, but remain in the non-connected state.

[0142] From the above, it can be seen that if the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service, the first message can be used to request to enter the connected state; if the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service, the first message can be used to request to maintain the non-connected state.

[0143] It should be noted that whether the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service or the positioning service can be indicated by a cause value in the first message. For example, when the value of the cause value is a first preset value, it indicates that the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service. When the value of the cause value is a second preset value, it indicates that the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service.

[0144] Optionally, the priority order of the data service and the positioning service is indicated by at least one of the following:

[0145] The priority level value of the data service and the priority level value of the positioning service (for example, a larger priority level value indicates a higher priority, or a smaller priority level value indicates a higher priority);

[0146] The order of the data service and the positioning service (for example, the one with higher priority is placed in front);

[0147] An indication used to indicate that the data service or the positioning service is given priority.

[0148] Optionally, the priority of data services and positioning services can be configured on the network side, for example, configured to the terminal through a system information block (System Information Block, SIB) message or proprietary signaling (such as RRC release (RRC Release) message); it can also be determined by the specific implementation of the terminal.

[0149] Optionally, before the terminal performs the positioning service in the non-connected state, the method further includes:

[0150] The terminal receives the positioning configuration information and the use condition of the positioning configuration information sent by the first network side device;

[0151] The positioning configuration information and the usage conditions are located in the same container, or the positioning configuration information and the usage conditions are located in different containers.

[0152] It can be seen from this that the positioning configuration information of the positioning service may also contain corresponding usage conditions, wherein the usage conditions may be included in the positioning configuration information or may not be included in the positioning configuration information.

[0153] Optionally, the use conditions include at least one of the following C-1 to C-4:

[0154] Item C-1: Allowing the use of the positioning configuration information in a connected state (i.e., when the terminal is in a connected state, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services);

[0155] Item C-2: Allowing the use of the positioning configuration information in a non-connected state (i.e., when the terminal is in a non-connected state, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services);

[0156] Item C-3: The positioning configuration information is only allowed to be used in a non-connected state (i.e., the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services only when the terminal is in a non-connected state);

[0157] Item C-4: The positioning configuration information is allowed to be used when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state (ie, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services when the terminal is in a non-connected state and receiving a predetermined data service).

[0158] Here, the predetermined data service may include a multicast service.

[0159] Optionally, the positioning configuration information includes at least one of the following E-1 to E-5:

[0160] Item E-1: single-cell uplink positioning reference signal SRS configuration information; that is, this SRS configuration information is valid for a single cell.

[0161] Item E-2: Regionally valid SRS configuration information; that is, this SRS configuration information is regionally valid.

[0162] Item E-3: Pre-configured SRS configuration information;

[0163] Item E-4: Downlink positioning reference signal PRS configuration information associated with enhanced discontinuous reception (Extended Discontinuous Reception, eDRX) configuration; Here, the PRS configuration related to the eDRX configuration may include PRS aligned with fixed eDRX, eDRX aligned with fixed PRS; wherein, PRS aligned with fixed eDRX, that is, Align PRS with fixed eDRX, means to configure PRS resources according to the eDRX configuration; eDRX aligned with fixed PRS, that is, Align eDRX with fixed PRS, means to configure the eDRX configuration according to the PRS resources. It should be noted that enhanced discontinuous reception can also be represented by (e)DRX.

[0164] Item E-5: PRS configuration information not related to eDRX configuration, that is, eDRX configuration has nothing to do with PRS resource configuration.

[0165] Optionally, the positioning configuration information and the usage condition satisfy at least one of the following D-1 to D-2:

[0166] Item D-1: When the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, each item of configuration information has a corresponding usage condition;

[0167] For example, if the positioning configuration information includes the aforementioned items E-1 to E-3, there may be one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-1, one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-2, and one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-3. Here, the usage conditions of each configuration information in items E-1 to E-3 may include the same or different contents. For example, the usage condition of E-1 may include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state, and the usage condition of item E-2 may also include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state; or, the usage condition of E-1 may include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state, and the usage condition of item E-2 may also include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state.

[0168] Item D-2: When the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, there is a usage condition corresponding to the at least one item of configuration information. That is, one usage condition can be applicable to at least one item of configuration information, that is, there can be a one-to-many relationship between the usage condition and each item of configuration information. For example, there is a usage condition, and the usage condition can be applicable to at least one item of items E-1 to E-5 included in the above positioning configuration information; or, there are usage conditions 1 and 2, usage condition 1 is applicable to the configuration information of items E-1 to E-3, and usage condition 2 is applicable to the configuration information of items E-4 to E-5.

[0169] Optionally, in at least one of the following situations F-1 to F-3, the terminal has a need to enter a connected state due to a data service:

[0170] Item F-1: the signal quality of the cell where the terminal receives the data service is less than a first threshold;

[0171] Item F-2: the terminal reselects to a new cell and the new cell does not contain configuration information of the data service that the terminal needs to receive;

[0172] Item F-3: The terminal finds in the original cell (ie, the old cell) that the newly selected cell does not provide the data service that the terminal needs to receive.

[0173] Here, the data service that the terminal needs to receive can be understood as the service in which the terminal is interested.

[0174] From the above items F-1 to F-3, it can be seen that the quality of the data service received by the terminal is lower than a threshold, or the terminal cell reselects to a new cell and the new cell does not have the configuration information of the multicast service that the terminal is interested in, or the terminal finds that the new cell after the cell reselection does not provide the data service that the terminal is interested in when it is in the old cell. In at least one of these three situations, the terminal will actively initiate the RRC recovery (RRCResume) process to enter the connected state to receive the data service. That is, in at least one of these three situations, the terminal has the need to enter the connected state due to the data service.

[0175] Optionally, the terminal receives a response message to the first message sent by the first network side device, including the following step H-1:

[0176] Step H-1: when the context information of the terminal exists in the first network side device, the terminal receives the response message sent by the first network side device according to the target content;

[0177] The objectives include:

[0178] Positioning configuration information configured by the first network side device for the terminal;

[0179] Whether the positioning configuration information has usage conditions;

[0180] The context information.

[0181] As can be seen from step H-1, the first network side device determines the content included in the response message according to the above target content to instruct the terminal to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state.

[0182] The first network side device determines the content included in the response message according to the target content, and the specific situation may be as described in the following items J-1 to J-12:

[0183] Item J-1: When there is a use condition for the positioning configuration information configured by the first network side device for the terminal, and the use condition includes allowing the use of the positioning configuration information in the connected state or allowing the use of the positioning configuration information when receiving a predetermined data service in the connected state, and when it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is outside the valid area of ​​the first information, the first network side device executes at least one of updating the first information and reporting the second information to the second network side device, wherein the updated first information is included in the response message; the first information includes at least one of the SRS configuration information and the pre-configured SRS configuration information, and the second information is used to indicate that the positioning configuration information has been updated. In this way, after receiving the response message including the updated first information, the terminal enters the connected state, and can use the updated first information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0184] Item J-2: When there is a usage condition for the positioning configuration information, and the usage condition includes allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state or allowing the positioning configuration information to be used when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state, and it is determined according to the context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the pre-configured SRS configuration information, the first network side device performs at least one of the following:

[0185] Activate pre-configured SRS configuration information;

[0186] Updating non-preconfigured SRS configuration information and reporting the second information to the second network side device;

[0187] Among them, at least one of the indication for activating the pre-configured SRS configuration information (which may be referred to as an activation indication) and the updated non-pre-configured SRS configuration information is included in the response message.

[0188] In this way, after receiving a response message including at least one of the above-mentioned activation indication and updated non-preconfigured SRS configuration information, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the activated SRS configuration information and / or the updated non-preconfigured SRS configuration to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0189] Item J-3: When there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state or allowing the positioning configuration information to be used when receiving a scheduled data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on context information that the terminal is in a valid area of ​​non-preconfigured SRS configuration information, the first network side device determines not to update the non-preconfigured SRS configuration information; in this case, the response message does not include the updated positioning configuration information, so that after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the current non-preconfigured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0190] Item J-4: When there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state or allowing the positioning configuration information to be used when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on context information that the terminal is outside the cell of the single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device executes at least one of updating the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal and reporting the second information to the second network side device; wherein the updated single-cell SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this way, after receiving the response message including the updated single-cell SRS configuration information, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0191] Item J-5: When there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state or allowing the positioning configuration information to be used when receiving a scheduled data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on context information that the terminal is in a cell with single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device determines not to update the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal; in this case, the response message does not include the updated positioning configuration information, so that after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the current single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0192] Item J-6: When there are no usage conditions for the positioning configuration information and the terminal is determined to be within the valid area of ​​the first information based on the context information, the first network side device sends a first indication information to the terminal, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue using the first information in a continuous state, wherein the first indication information is included in a response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the first information used in the non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0193] Item J-7: When there are no usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the preconfigured SRS configuration information, and the preconfigured SRS configuration has not yet been activated, the first network side device activates the preconfigured SRS configuration, and an indication of activating the preconfigured SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the activated preconfigured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0194] Item J-8: When there is no usage condition for the positioning configuration information and it is determined based on context information that the terminal is outside the cell of the single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device updates the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal and reports at least one of the second information to the second network side device, wherein the updated single-cell SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0195] Item J-9: When there are no usage conditions for the positioning configuration information and it is determined based on context information that the terminal is in a cell with single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device sends a second indication message to the terminal, wherein the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue using the single-cell SRS configuration information in a continuous state, and the second indication information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the single-cell SRS configuration information used in a non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0196] Item J-10: The first network side device updates the downlink positioning reference signal PRS configuration information of the terminal and reports at least one of the second information to the second network side device; the updated PRS configuration information is included in the response message. In this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters the connected state, and can use the updated PRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0197] It should be noted that in item J-10, regardless of whether there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, the first network side device can execute at least one of updating the downlink positioning reference signal PRS configuration information of the terminal and reporting the second information to the second network side device.

[0198] Item J-11: the first network side device maintains the positioning configuration information of the terminal;

[0199] It should be noted that in item J-11, regardless of whether the positioning configuration information has a usage condition, the first network side can maintain the positioning configuration information of the terminal. In this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state and can use the current positioning configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0200] Item J-12: The first network-side device sends third indication information to the terminal, wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue to use second information in a continuous state, wherein the second information includes at least one of single-cell SRS configuration information, SRS configuration information, and pre-configured SRS configuration information, and the second indication information is included in the response message. In this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the second information used in a non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0201] It should be noted that in item J-12, regardless of whether there is a usage condition for the positioning configuration information, the first network side device can instruct the terminal to continue using the second information used in the non-connected state in the connected state.

[0202] In addition, it should be noted that when the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service (that is, when the first message sent by the terminal is used to request to enter the connected state), the first network side device and the terminal are executed based on the contents described in the above situations J-1 to J-12. Optionally, in the above situations J-1 to J-12, the response message can be an RRCResume message.

[0203] When the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service, the first network side device can also determine the content of the response message based on at least one of the positioning configuration information configured for the terminal, whether the positioning configuration information has a usage condition, and the context information of the terminal.

[0204] For example, when there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state, and it is determined based on context information that the terminal is outside the valid area of ​​the pre-configured SRS configuration information, the first network side device updates the pre-configured SRS configuration information, wherein the updated pre-configured SRS configuration information is included in a response message, where the response message may be an RRCRelease message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal maintains a non-connected state, and may use the updated pre-configured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in a non-connected state.

[0205] Alternatively, when there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state, and when it is determined based on context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the pre-configured SRS configuration information, the first network side device activates the pre-configured SRS configuration information; an indication of activating the pre-configured SRS configuration information is included in a response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal maintains a non-connected state, and can use the activated pre-configured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the non-connected state; here, the response message can be an RRCRelease message.

[0206] It should also be noted that the usage conditions of the positioning configuration information can be included in the context information of the terminal. Therefore, the "whether the positioning configuration information has usage conditions" in the previous text can also be expressed as "whether the context information of the terminal includes the usage conditions".

[0207] Optionally, the method further comprises the following step H-2:

[0208] Step H-2: When the first network side device does not have the context information of the terminal, the terminal receives at least one of the following items sent by the first network side device:

[0209] a second message, wherein the second message is used to instruct the terminal to enter a connected state;

[0210] The configuration information of the data service reconfigured by the first network side device.

[0211] Optionally, the second message is an RRC setup (RRCSetup) message.

[0212] It should be noted that, when the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service (ie, when the first message sent by the terminal is used to request to enter the connected state), step H-2 is performed.

[0213] Another embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing positioning configuration information, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method may include the following steps 501 to 502:

[0214] Step 501: A first network-side device receives a first message sent by a terminal.

[0215] Here, the first network side device may be a base station.

[0216] The terminal performs positioning services and receives data services in a non-connected state, and the first message is used to request to enter a connected state or maintain a non-connected state. Here, the connected state may be an RRC connected state.

[0217] In addition, when the terminal is performing positioning services and receiving data services in a non-connected state, if there is a need to enter a connected state due to data services, a first message can be sent to the first network side device to request to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state.

[0218] Here, the non-connected state includes at least one of an idle state and an inactive state, that is, the terminal can perform positioning services and receive data services in the inactive state; it can also perform positioning services and receive data services in the idle state.

[0219] In addition, you can enter the connected state by at least one of the following:

[0220] Establishing a connection between the terminal and the first network side device;

[0221] Reestablishing the connection between the terminal and the first network side device;

[0222] Restore the connection between the terminal and the first network side device.

[0223] That is, a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be established, or a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be rebuilt, or a connection between the terminal and the first network side device may be restored through a first message request to enter a connection state.

[0224] Optionally, the positioning service is an LPHAP service, and the non-connected state is an inactive state. That is, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can execute the LPHAP service in the inactive state and receive the data service.

[0225] Optionally, the data service is a broadcast service.

[0226] Step 502: The first network-side device determines whether to execute the target behavior and sends a response message to the first message.

[0227] The target behavior includes a behavior related to updating the positioning configuration information of the positioning service.

[0228] In addition, the terminal has a need to enter a connected state due to data services, that is, the terminal needs to enter a connected state to receive data services. However, the terminal is currently performing a positioning service in a non-connected state. In this case, the data service that needs to be received in a connected state conflicts with the positioning service that needs to be performed in a non-connected state. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to decide whether the terminal enters a connected state or remains in a non-connected state. In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal can send a first message to the first network side device, requesting to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state, and then enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state based on a response message replied by the first network side device to resolve the above conflict.

[0229] It can be seen from the above steps 501 to 502 that in one embodiment of the present application, the terminal can perform positioning services and receive data services in a non-connected state. In this process, if the terminal needs to enter a connected state due to a data service, the terminal can request the first network side device to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state. It can be seen that when the positioning service that needs to be executed in a non-connected state and the data service that needs to be received in a connected state exist at the same time, that is, when the two conflict, the terminal can request the first network side device to enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state, and then enter a connected state or remain in a non-connected state according to the response message replied by the first network side device to resolve the conflict. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides a processing method for the corresponding positioning service and data service when a conflict occurs between the positioning service that needs to be executed in a non-connected state and the data service that needs to be received in a connected state, thereby resolving the conflict.

[0230] Optionally, before the first network side device receives the first message sent by the terminal, the method further includes:

[0231] The first network side device sends positioning configuration information and usage conditions of the positioning configuration information to the terminal;

[0232] The positioning configuration information and the usage conditions are located in the same container, or the positioning configuration information and the usage conditions are located in different containers.

[0233] It can be seen from this that the positioning configuration information of the positioning service may also contain corresponding usage conditions, wherein the usage conditions may be included in the positioning configuration information or may not be included in the positioning configuration information.

[0234] Optionally, the use conditions include at least one of the following C-1 to C-4:

[0235] Item C-1: Allowing the use of the positioning configuration information in a connected state (i.e., when the terminal is in a connected state, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services);

[0236] Item C-2: Allowing the use of the positioning configuration information in a non-connected state (i.e., when the terminal is in a non-connected state, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services);

[0237] Item C-3: The positioning configuration information is only allowed to be used in a non-connected state (i.e., the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services only when the terminal is in a non-connected state);

[0238] Item C-4: The positioning configuration information is allowed to be used when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state (ie, the positioning configuration information can be used to perform positioning services when the terminal is in a non-connected state and receiving a predetermined data service).

[0239] Here, the predetermined data service may include a multicast service.

[0240] Optionally, the positioning configuration information includes at least one of the following E-1 to E-5:

[0241] Item E-1: single-cell uplink positioning reference signal SRS configuration information; that is, this SRS configuration information is valid for a single cell.

[0242] Item E-2: Regionally valid SRS configuration information; that is, this SRS configuration information is regionally valid.

[0243] Item E-3: Pre-configured SRS configuration information;

[0244] Item E-4: Downlink Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) configuration information associated with enhanced discontinuous reception (Extended Discontinuous Reception, eDRX) configuration; Here, the PRS configuration associated with the eDRX configuration may include PRS aligned with fixed eDRX, eDRX aligned with fixed PRS; PRS aligned with fixed eDRX, that is, Align PRS with fixed eDRX, means that PRS resources are configured according to the eDRX configuration; eDRX aligned with fixed PRS, that is, Align eDRX with fixed PRS, means that eDRX configuration is configured according to PRS resources. It should be noted that enhanced discontinuous reception can also be represented by (e)DRX.

[0245] Item E-5: PRS configuration information not related to eDRX configuration, that is, eDRX configuration has nothing to do with PRS resource configuration.

[0246] Optionally, the positioning configuration information and the usage condition satisfy at least one of the following D-1 to D-2:

[0247] Item D-1: When the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, each item of configuration information has a corresponding usage condition; for example, the positioning configuration information includes the aforementioned items E-1 to E-3, then there may be one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-1, one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-2, and one usage condition for the configuration information of item E-3. Here, the usage conditions of each item of configuration information in items E-1 to E-3 may include the same or different contents. For example, the usage condition of E-1 may include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state, and the usage condition of item E-2 may also include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state; or, the usage condition of E-1 may include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state, and the usage condition of item E-2 may also include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state.

[0248] Item D-2: When the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, there is a usage condition corresponding to the at least one item of configuration information. That is, one usage condition can be applicable to at least one item of configuration information, that is, there can be a one-to-many relationship between the usage condition and each item of configuration information. For example, there is a usage condition, and the usage condition can be applicable to at least one item of items E-1 to E-5 included in the above positioning configuration information; or, there are usage conditions 1 and 2, usage condition 1 is applicable to the configuration information of items E-1 to E-3, and usage condition 2 is applicable to the configuration information of items E-4 to E-5.

[0249] Optionally, the first network side device determines whether to execute the target behavior and determines the response message, including step Q-1:

[0250] Step Q-1: In the case where the context information of the terminal exists in the first network side device, the first network side device determines whether to execute the target behavior and determines the response message according to the target content;

[0251] The objectives include:

[0252] Positioning configuration information configured by the first network side device for the terminal;

[0253] Whether the positioning configuration information has usage conditions;

[0254] The context information.

[0255] It can be seen that the first network side device determines whether to execute the target behavior according to the above target content, and determines the content included in the response message to instruct the terminal to enter the connected state or remain in the unconnected state.

[0256] Optionally, in the above step Q-1, the first network side device determines whether to execute the target behavior and determines the response message according to the target content, including at least one of the following J-1 to J-12:

[0257] Item J-1: When there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a connected state or allowing the positioning configuration information to be used when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is outside the valid area of ​​the first information, the first network side device executes at least one of updating the first information and reporting the second information to the second network side device, wherein the updated first information is included in the response message; the first information includes at least one of SRS configuration information and pre-configured SRS configuration information, and the second information is used to indicate that the positioning configuration information has been updated. In this way, after receiving the response message including the updated first information, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated first information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0258] Item J-2: When the use condition exists, and the use condition includes allowing the use of positioning configuration information in a connected state or allowing the use of positioning configuration information when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state, and it is determined according to the context information that the terminal is within a valid area of ​​the pre-configured uplink positioning reference signal SRS configuration information, the first network side device performs at least one of the following:

[0264] Item J-4: When the usage conditions exist, and the usage conditions include allowing the use of positioning configuration information in a connected state or allowing the use of positioning configuration information when receiving a scheduled data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is outside the cell of the single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device executes at least one of updating the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal and reporting the second information to the second network side device; wherein the updated single-cell SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this way, after receiving the response message including the updated single-cell SRS configuration information, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0265] Item J-5: When the usage conditions exist, and the usage conditions include allowing the use of positioning configuration information in a connected state or allowing the use of positioning configuration information when receiving a predetermined data service in a connected state, and when it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is in a cell with single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device determines not to update the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal; in this case, the response message does not include the updated positioning configuration information, so that after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the current single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0266] Item J-6: When the usage condition does not exist and it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the first information, the first network side device sends a first indication message to the terminal, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue using the first information in a continuous state, wherein the first indication information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the first information used in the non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0267] Item J-7: When the usage condition does not exist, and it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the preconfigured SRS configuration information, and the preconfigured SRS configuration has not yet been activated, the first network side device activates the preconfigured SRS configuration, and the indication of activating the preconfigured SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the activated preconfigured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0268] Item J-8: When the usage conditions do not exist and it is determined based on the context information that the terminal is outside the cell of the single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device executes at least one of updating the single-cell SRS configuration information of the terminal and reporting the second information to the second network side device, wherein the updated single-cell SRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated single-cell SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0269] Item J-9: When the usage condition does not exist and it is determined according to the context information that the terminal is in a cell with single-cell SRS configuration information, the first network side device sends a second indication message to the terminal, wherein the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue using the single-cell SRS configuration information in a continuous state, and the second indication information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the single-cell SRS configuration information used in the non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0270] Item J-10: The first network side device executes updating of the downlink positioning reference signal PRS configuration information of the terminal and reports at least one item of the second information to the second network side device; the updated PRS configuration information is included in the response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can use the updated PRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0271] It should be noted that in item J-10, regardless of whether there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, the first network side device can execute at least one of updating the downlink positioning reference signal PRS configuration information of the terminal and reporting the second information to the second network side device.

[0272] Item J-11: the first network side device maintains the positioning configuration information of the terminal;

[0273] It should be noted that in item J-11, regardless of whether the positioning configuration information has a usage condition, the first network side can maintain the positioning configuration information of the terminal. In this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state and can use the current positioning configuration information to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0274] Item J-12: The first network-side device sends third indication information to the terminal, wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal to continue to use second information in a continuous state, wherein the second information includes at least one of single-cell SRS configuration information, SRS configuration information, and pre-configured SRS configuration information, and the second indication information is included in the response message. In this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal enters a connected state, and can continue to use the second information used in a non-connected state to perform positioning services in the connected state.

[0275] It should be noted that in item J-12, regardless of whether there is a usage condition for the positioning configuration information, the first network side device can instruct the terminal to continue using the second information used in the non-connected state in the connected state.

[0276] In addition, it should be noted that when the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service (that is, when the first message sent by the terminal is used to request to enter the connected state), the first network side device and the terminal are executed based on the contents described in the above situations J-1 to J-12. Optionally, in the above situations J-1 to J-12, the response message can be an RRCResume message.

[0277] When the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the positioning service, the first network side device can also determine the content of the response message based on at least one of the positioning configuration information configured for the terminal, whether the positioning configuration information has a usage condition, and the context information of the terminal.

[0278] For example, when there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state, and it is determined based on context information that the terminal is outside the valid area of ​​the pre-configured SRS configuration information, the first network side device updates the pre-configured SRS configuration information, wherein the updated pre-configured SRS configuration information is included in a response message, where the response message may be an RRCRelease message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal maintains a non-connected state, and may use the updated pre-configured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in a non-connected state.

[0279] Alternatively, when there are usage conditions for the positioning configuration information, and the usage conditions include allowing the positioning configuration information to be used in a non-connected state, and when it is determined based on context information that the terminal is within the valid area of ​​the pre-configured SRS configuration information, the first network side device activates the pre-configured SRS configuration information; an indication of activating the pre-configured SRS configuration information is included in a response message; in this case, after receiving the response message, the terminal maintains a non-connected state, and can use the activated pre-configured SRS configuration information to perform positioning services in the non-connected state; here, the response message can be an RRCRelease message.

[0280] Optionally, the method further comprises step Q-2:

[0281] Step Q-2: When the first network side device does not have the context information of the terminal, the first network side device performs at least one of the following:

[0282] Sending a second message to the terminal, where the second message is used to instruct the terminal to enter a connected state;

[0283] Reconfigure the configuration information of the data service.

[0284] Optionally, the second message is an RRCSetup message.

[0285] It should be noted that, when the initiation condition of the first message is determined according to the data service (ie, when the first message sent by the terminal is used to request to enter the connected state), step Q-2 is performed.

[0286] In summary, the specific implementation of the service conflict handling method and the positioning configuration information processing method in the embodiments of the present application can be as described in the following implementation mode 1 or 2.

[0289] The positioning configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0301] The positioning configuration information and the usage condition satisfy at least one of the following:

[0302] In the case where the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, each item of configuration information has a corresponding usage condition; (for example, a regionally valid SRS configuration has its own usage condition indication, and a pre-configured SRS configuration has its own usage condition indication)

[0303] In the case where the positioning configuration information includes at least one item of configuration information, there is a usage condition corresponding to the at least one item of configuration information (for example, one usage condition is applicable to a regionally valid SRS configuration and a pre-configured SRS configuration).

[0304] Step 1.2: The non-connected UE needs to enter the RRC-CONNECTED state due to data services, and the UE sends a RRCResumeRequest message to the base station.

[0305] In at least one of the following cases, the UE needs to enter the connected state due to data services:

[0306] The signal quality of the cell where the UE receives the data service is less than a first threshold;

[0307] The UE reselects to a new cell and the new cell does not contain configuration information of the data service that the UE needs to receive;

[0308] When the UE is in the original cell, it finds that the newly selected cell does not provide the data service that the UE needs to receive.

[0309] Before step 1.2, when the UE only needs to enter the connected state due to data services, the UE determines whether to send the RRCResumeRequest message according to the priority of the data service and the priority of the positioning service;

[0310] Among them, when the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, it is determined to send the RRCResumeRequest message; when the priority of the positioning service is higher than the priority of the data service, it is determined not to send the RRCResumeRequest message.

[0311] The initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message satisfies at least one of the following:

[0312] When the UE needs to enter the connected state only due to data services, the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the data service (this content belongs to the situation where the need to send the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the priority of the positioning service and the priority of the data service before step 1.2);

[0313] When the UE has a need to enter a connected state due to a data service and a need to initiate a target request, and the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the data service, wherein the target request is related to the positioning configuration information of the positioning service (this content belongs to the case where the aforementioned two needs exist);

[0316] The priority level value of the data service and the priority level value of the positioning service;

[0317] Sorting of data services and positioning services;

[0319] The priorities of data services and positioning services may be configured on the network side, for example, configured to the UE through a SIB message or a proprietary signaling (eg, an RRCRelease message); or may be determined by the specific implementation of the UE.

[0320] Step 1.3: After receiving the RRCResumeRequest message sent by the UE, the base station performs corresponding actions.

[0321] Wherein, when the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the number of services, the "execution of the corresponding behavior" includes at least one of the following:

[0322] When the base station has a UE context, the first behavior is executed;

[0323] When the base station does not have a UE context, the second behavior is executed;

[0324] The “first behavior” includes at least one of the following:

[0325] Send a response message (i.e., RRCResume message) to the UE, so that the UE enters the RRC-CONNECTED state;

[0326] Whether to execute a target behavior and determine a response message is determined according to the target content, wherein the target behavior includes a behavior related to updating the positioning configuration information of the positioning service.

[0327] The objectives include:

[0328] Positioning configuration information configured by the base station for the UE;

[0329] Conditions for use of positioning configuration information;

[0330] UE context.

[0336] Implementation method 2: There is no usage condition for the positioning configuration information. The specific process includes the following steps 2.1 to 2.4:

[0349] Before step 2.2, when the UE only needs to enter the connected state due to data services, the UE determines whether to send the RRCResumeRequest message according to the priority of the data service and the priority of the positioning service;

[0350] Among them, when the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, it is determined to send the RRCResumeRequest message; when the priority of the positioning service is higher than the priority of the data service, it is determined not to send the RRCResumeRequest message.

[0351] The initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message satisfies at least one of the following:

[0352] When the UE needs to enter the connected state only due to data services, the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the data service (this content belongs to the situation where the need to send the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the priority of the positioning service and the priority of the data service before step 2.2);

[0353] When the UE has a need to enter a connected state due to a data service and a need to initiate a target request, and the priority of the data service is higher than the priority of the positioning service, the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the data service, wherein the target request is related to the positioning configuration information of the positioning service (this content belongs to the case where the aforementioned two needs exist);

[0354] When the UE has the need to enter the connected state due to data services and the need to initiate the target request, and the priority of the data service is lower than the priority of the positioning service, the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the positioning service (this content belongs to the case where the aforementioned two needs exist).

[0356] The priority level value of the data service and the priority level value of the positioning service;

[0357] Sorting of data services and positioning services;

[0359] The priorities of data services and positioning services may be configured on the network side, for example, configured to the UE through a SIB message or a proprietary signaling (eg, an RRCRelease message); or may be determined by the specific implementation of the UE.

[0360] Step 2.3: After receiving the RRCResumeRequest message sent by the UE, the base station performs corresponding actions.

[0361] Wherein, when the initiation condition of the RRCResumeRequest message is determined according to the number of services, the "execution of the corresponding behavior" includes at least one of the following:

[0364] The “first behavior” includes at least one of the following:

[0365] Send a response message (i.e., RRCResume message) to the UE, so that the UE enters the RRC-CONNECTED state;

[0366] Whether to execute a target behavior and determine a response message is determined according to the target content, wherein the target behavior includes a behavior related to updating the positioning configuration information of the positioning service.
