[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited.

In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0050] It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as for other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and the NR terminology is used in most of the following descriptions, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the 6th generation (6 th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may also be referred to as a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE). The terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer) or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE) and other terminal-side devices. Wearable devices include: bracelets, headphones, glasses, etc.

[0052] In order to better understand the solution provided by this application, the following contents are first described:

[0053] 1. Idle / inactive / connected state

[0054] A UE in Idle state has no Radio Resource Control (RRC) context on the network side, which means that the parameters necessary for communication between the network side and the UE do not belong to a specific cell, and the network side does not know whether the UE exists. The UE is assigned a set of Tracking Area Identifier list (TAI list). From the perspective of the core network, the connection between the Radio Access Network (RAN) side and the core network has been disconnected. In order to reduce power consumption, the UE is in sleep state most of the time, so data transmission is not possible. In the downlink, a UE in Idle state can be awakened periodically to receive paging messages from the network (if any). Mobility can be handled by the UE performing cell reselection. In Idle state, the UE and the network side will not maintain uplink synchronization. If you want to switch from Idle state to Connected state, you can only establish an RRC context between the UE and the network side through Random Access.

[0055] In the RRC_Connected state, an RRC context can be established, and all parameters required for communication are known to both entities (UE and network side). From the core network's perspective, the UE is in the CN_Connected state. The cell to which the UE belongs is known, and the destination device identifier for transmission signaling between the device and the network, i.e., the Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identity (C-RNTI), has been configured. In the connected state, mobility can be controlled by the network side, i.e., the UE provides neighboring cell measurements to the network, and the network commands the device to perform a handover. Uplink time synchronization may or may not exist. When there is data to be transmitted, uplink synchronization can be established by using random access.

[0056] In LTE, only the idle state and the connected state are supported. In practice, the idle state is often used as the main sleep state of the UE to save power. However, due to the frequent transmission of small data packets in some smartphones, if the LTE method is followed, there will be a large number of transitions from the idle state to the connected state. These transitions increase the signaling load and signaling delay. Therefore, in order to reduce the signaling load and waiting time, the RRC_INACTIVE state is introduced in NR.

[0057] In the RRC_INACTIVE state, the RRC context on the network side and the UE side is maintained. From the core network's perspective, the connection between the RAN side and the core network is in a state. Therefore, the transition from the inactive state to the connected state is very fast and does not require core network signaling. At the same time, the UE is allowed to sleep in a similar way to the idle state and handle mobility through cell reselection. Therefore, RRC_INACTIVE can be regarded as a mixture of the idle and connected states.

[0058] Specifically, the relationship between RRC_IDLE, RRC_INACTIVE and RRC_CONNECTED is as follows Figure 1a shown.

[0059] From the above description, it can be seen that an important difference between the different states is the mobility mechanism involved. Efficient mobility handling is a key part of any mobile communication system. For the idle and inactive states, mobility is handled by the device through cell reselection, while for the connected state, mobility is handled by the network side based on UE measurements.

[0060] For UEs in Idle and Inactive states, the commonality between the two is that they both have PLMN selection, cell selection and reselection, and system message reception functions; the differences include the following parts: (1) Since the core network only knows the tracking area where the UE is located in the idle state, but does not know the specific pcell ID, it will send paging under the TA or TA list. However, for the RRC inactive state, the NG-RAN knows which RNA the UE belongs to, so it will only page the UE in the RNA area; (2) The UE AS context is saved in the UE and NG-RNA in the inactive state; (3) The UE saves the NAS signaling connection under the control plane and the 5GC-NG-RAN connection under the user plane in the inactive state.

[0061] For UEs in the Inactive state and the connected state, the common points between them are (1) the UE AS context is saved in the UE and NG-RNA in the inactive state; (2) the connection between the control plane and the user plane has been established, so the core network usually considers the UE to be in the RRC connected state; the difference between the two is that (1) in the connected state, NG-RAN knows the serving cell where the UE is located, but in the RRC inactive state, NG-RAN knows which RNA the UE belongs to, so it will only page the UE in the RNA area; (2) in the RRC inactive state, the UE has the functions of PLMN search, cell reselection and system message reception (3) in the RRC connected state, the UE has the functions of uplink and downlink channel transmission and mobility (switching).

[0062] The UE enters the RRC connected state from the RRC INACTIVE state;

[0063] The protocol stipulates that the UE will return to the RRC connected state when the following five scenarios occur: there is uplink data to be sent; a signaling process is initiated at the NAS layer; RAN paging response; notification to the network that it has left the RAN notification area; periodic RAN notification area update timer times out

[0064] 2. Uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) in Connected state

[0065] The time domain types of uplink SRS include periodic, non-periodic and semi-static, configured per SRS resource set. The path loss reference signal is used to obtain the path loss estimation of SRS, including the SSB of the serving cell, the SSB of the neighboring cell and the downlink positioning reference signal (PRS).

[0066] For per SRS resource, it includes comb2, comb4, and comb8 SRS configurations, where the comb number refers to the number of subcarrier intervals between two adjacent SRS resources in the frequency domain, and the maximum cyclic shift is 8, 12, and 6, respectively; it also includes the number of symbols and the starting symbol of the SRS resource. For non-periodic SRS, it includes slotoffset, and for semi-static and periodic SRS, it includes period and slot offset, and the unit of period is slot. In addition, it also includes the spatial relationship SRS-SpatialRelationInfoPos of SRS. The reference signal of the spatial relationship can be the SSB, CSI-RS and SRS of the serving cell, the SSB of the neighboring cell, and the downlink positioning reference signal PRS.

[0067] 3.4-step random access (4stepRACH) and 2-step random access (2stepRACH) related background;

[0068] 1) 4-step RACH, the 4-step random access process includes:

[0069] (1) Contention-based random access procedure (4-step RACH);

[0070] (2) Non-contention-based random access process;

[0071] For the "contention-based random access process", the UE sends message 1 (Msg1) (random access request) to the network side. After receiving Msg1, the network side sends message 2 (Msg2) (Random Access Response (RAR)) message to the UE, which carries uplink grant information. The UE sends Msg3 based on the uplinkgrant in Msg2. After receiving Msg3, the network side sends message 4 (Msg4) (such as contention resolution identifier) ​​to the UE. After receiving Msg4, the UE determines whether the contention resolution is successful. If successful, the random access process is successful, otherwise the random access process is re-initiated.

[0072] For the "non-contention-based random access process", the gNB allocates dedicated RACH (Random Access Channel) resources for the UE to access. The UE sends Msg1 (Random Access Request) to the network side on the dedicated resources. After receiving Msg1, the network side sends Msg2 (Random Access Response RAR (Random Access Response)) message to the UE. However, when the dedicated RACH resources are insufficient, the gNB will instruct the UE to initiate a contention-based RA.

[0073] 2) 2step RACH, 2-step random access process, such as Figure 1c As shown, including:

[0074] Step 0: The network side configures the UE with new two-step random access configuration information, including the sending resource information corresponding to MsgA and MsgB.

[0075] Step 1: The UE triggers the 2-step RACH process. The request message (MsgA) is sent to the network side, such as through the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). At the same time, the UE may also send Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) information to the network side.

[0076] Step 2: The network sends a confirmation message (MsgB) to the UE. If the UE fails to receive MsgB, the UE resends MsgA.

[0077] 4. Uplink positioning process

[0078] like Figure 1d Shown include:

[0079] 0. The Location Management Function (LMF) and the Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) exchange configuration information;

[0080] 1.LMF and UE interaction capability information;

[0081] 2. NR Positioning Protocol A (NRPPa) requests positioning;

[0082] 3. The base station determines the UL SRS configuration;

[0083] 4. NRPPa positioning response;

[0084] 5.a.NRPPa positioning activation request; b. Base station activates SRS transmission; c.NRPPa positioning activation response;

[0085] 6.NRPPa measurement request;

[0086] 7. The base station performs UL SRS measurement;

[0087] 8.NRPPa measurement response;

[0088] In the existing technical solutions, downlink positioning assistance data in idle / inactive state can be broadcasted through poSIB for measurement; the uplink positioning method in idle / inactive state is measured by the base station, and the base station reports the measurement information to the network side, and there is no need for the UE in idle / inactive state to report, thereby solving the problem of reporting a large amount of positioning measurement information in idle / inactive downlink UE-assisted positioning. However, there is no specific implementation method for uplink positioning in idle / inactive state, and when regional events / periodic events / residence cell changes / TA failures occur, how to obtain the configuration and update of the uplink positioning signal also needs to be solved.

[0089] The following describes in detail the method for establishing a connection provided by the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0166] (3) Inactive-Radio Network Temporary Identity (I-RNTI);

[0167] (4) Resume ID, for example, UE identity;

[0168] (5) Enhanced Media Access Control (MAC) entity information, such as MAC-I information, for UE authentication;

[0169] (6) Sequence ID of uplink positioning reference signal

[0170] (7) Specific RNTI;

[0171] (8) Original serving cell ID;

[0172] (9) Cause value, which indicates that the purpose of the UE initiating the request is to request or update POS resources.

[0173] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0174] Receiving a cell list, a random access network-based notification area (RAN-based Notification Area, RNA), a tracking area code (Tracking Area Code, TAC), a timing advance group (Timing Advance Group, TAG) or a specific range configured by a network side device, wherein the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information under a cell list, RNA, TAC, TAG or a specific range are partially or completely the same

[0175] Furthermore, the method further comprises:

[0176] Receive fourth configuration information of an uplink positioning reference signal, wherein the fourth configuration information is configured according to each cell list, RNA, TAC, or TAG, and wherein the fourth configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0177] (1)Cell identification;

[0178] (2)TA timing configuration;

[0179] (3) A first threshold value is used to determine whether the allocated uplink positioning reference signal resources are available.

[0180] In some implementations, when the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is received from the network side device through a specific POSSIB, the method further includes:

[0181] (1) Initiate the RACH process;

[0182] (2) Sending first identification information of the terminal to the network side device, such as a unique identification of the UE;

[0183] (3) receiving second identification information from the network side device;

[0184] It can be understood that the above process is actually a random access process based on competition. When the UE receives the configuration or resources sent by POSSIB, since POSSIB is broadcast, multiple UEs may receive the same configuration information and resources at the same time. At this time, multiple UEs send their own first identification information, such as the unique identification of the UE, to the network side for competition. The network side decides the UE that will eventually send an uplink positioning reference signal on the resource, and sends the second identification information of the UE, such as UE-ID. After receiving the information, the UE detects that the second identification information sent by the network side is the same as or has a corresponding relationship with the first identification information, and the competition is successful. The UE that successfully competes can send an uplink positioning reference signal on the uplink resource.

[0185] The sending of the first identification information of the terminal to the network side device includes at least one of the following:

[0186] (1) Sending first identification information of the terminal to the network side device through a specific preamble code;

[0187] (2) Sending first identification information of the terminal to the network side device through message 3;

[0188] (3) Sending first identification information of the terminal to the network side device through message A;

[0189] (4) sending the first identification information of the terminal to the network side device through the uplink SDT;

[0190] (5) sending first identification information of the terminal to the network side device through the first uplink resource;

[0191] Receiving second identification information from the network side device includes at least one of the following:

[0192] (1) receiving second identification information from the network side device through message 2;

[0193] (2) receiving second identification information from the network side device through message 4;

[0194] (3) receiving second identification information from the network side device through message B;

[0195] (4) Receive the second identification information from the network side device through the downlink SDT.

[0196] Further, when the second identification information is the same as or has a corresponding relationship with the first identification, the configuration in the specific POSSIB is used to send an uplink positioning reference signal to the network side device, otherwise the UE does not expect to use the configuration in the POSSIB to send an uplink positioning reference signal to the network side device.

[0197] In some implementations, the specific POSSIB carries support capability information of the first cell, where the support capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0198] (1) Whether uplink positioning in idle or inactive state is supported;

[0199] (2) Resources dedicated to uplink positioning in idle or inactive states.

[0200] That is to say, when the first cell supports uplink positioning in an idle or inactive state, during capability interaction, the capability information may carry resources dedicated to uplink positioning in an idle or inactive state. When the capability information received by the terminal carries resources dedicated to uplink positioning in an idle or inactive state, the terminal may directly send an uplink positioning reference signal on the uplink positioning resource.

[0201] Furthermore, when the support capability information indicates that uplink positioning in an idle state or an inactive state is not supported, the method further includes: releasing the configuration resources corresponding to the first cell. At the same time, the first cell reports the change of its capability to the network side, or the first cell notifies other cells of the change of its capability. When the capability of other cells receiving the first cell becomes unsupported and other cells configure uplink positioning reference signals, the configuration of the first cell is excluded (the uplink positioning reference signal of the first cell is not configured).

[0202] In some implementations, the method further includes: determining a transmission time of an uplink positioning reference signal according to the time domain information and the first downlink time domain information;

[0203] The first downlink time domain information is determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0204] (1) determining the first downlink time domain information by the time of the SSB of the resident cell, specifically, determining the reference time of the SRS by the SFN initial time determined by the time of the SSB of the resident cell and the corresponding SFN0 offset;

[0205] (2) determining the first downlink time domain information according to the time of the original cell SSB, specifically, determining the reference time of the SRS according to the single frequency network SFN initial time determined by the time of the original cell SSB and the corresponding SFN0 offset;

[0206] (3) determining the first downlink time domain information through the cell list list and the SFN0 offset corresponding to each cell. Specifically, selecting the SFN0 offset of a certain cell from the cell list list and the SFN0 offset corresponding to each cell to determine the reference time of the SRS;

[0207] For example, when the resident cell changes, the original cell is the resident cell or service cell before the change. At this time, the time of the new resident cell is inferred through the cell list, the SFN0 offset corresponding to each cell and the SSB of the original cell, and then the sending time of the uplink positioning reference signal is determined through the period, slot offset, and symbol offset.

[0208] In some implementations, the method further includes that the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is at least one of the following:

[0209] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of one or more serving cells;

[0210] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of an uplink positioning reference signal of the resident cell;

[0212] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of all cells in the cell list;

[0213] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of all cells within the RNA range;

[0214] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of all cells within the TAC range;

[0215] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of all cells under the TAG;

[0216] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configuration information of uplink positioning reference signals of all cells within a specific range.

[0217] It should be noted that when the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is the configuration information of multiple cells, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information of each cell in the multiple service cells or multiple specific cells or cell list or RNA range or TAC range or TAG range or specific range are configured separately, that is, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information of cell A and the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information of cell B are independent of each other. In some embodiments, the method also includes at least one of the following:

[0218] (1) The terminal does not expect multiple serving cells to belong to different TAGs;

[0219] (2) The terminal does not expect that multiple cells in the cell list belong to different TAGs;

[0220] (3) The terminal does not expect that multiple cells within a specific range belong to different TAGs.

[0222] The terminal receives activation related information of the uplink positioning reference signal sent by the network side, where the activation related information includes activation information and / or deactivation information;

[0223] It should be noted that when the time domain type of the configured uplink positioning reference signal is non-periodic or semi-static, it needs to be activated and / or deactivated through activation related information.

[0224] The activation information includes at least one of the following:

[0225] (1) First indication information, used to indicate the sending of an uplink positioning reference signal. After receiving the indication information, the UE determines the sending time of the SRS according to the absolute time information or the time domain offset information;

[0226] (2) Absolute time information of uplink positioning reference signal transmission;

[0227] (3) time domain offset information between the uplink positioning reference signal sending time and the first indication information, including slotoffset and / or symboloffset;

[0228] The deactivation information includes at least one of the following:

[0232] (4) time domain offset information between the time when the uplink positioning reference signal stops sending and the second indication information;

[0233] In some implementations, before receiving activation related information of an uplink positioning reference signal from a network side device, the method further includes:

[0249] In some implementations, the first indication information is used to indicate the sending of part or all of the uplink positioning reference signals;

[0250] The second indication information is used to instruct to stop sending part or all of the uplink positioning reference signals;

[0251] The first indication information and the second indication information are indicated in at least one of the following ways:

[0252] (1) Indicated by an uplink positioning reference signal identifier, for example, the identifier may be a trigger state, a reporting state, a resource set ID, or a resource ID. Specifically, taking the identifier as trigger state as an example, if its value is 1, the uplink positioning reference signal corresponding to the trigger state being 1 is activated.

[0253] (2) Indicated by a bit string associated with an uplink positioning reference signal, the bit string may be associated with triggerstate, reporting state, resource set, and resource; specifically, taking the bit string corresponding to triggerstate as an example, the length is 2 bits.
