[0072] Herein, exemplary embodiments are described in detail, and examples are shown in the drawings. Where the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise stated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described below in the exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention, which are described in detail in the appended claims.

[0073] The parameter setting method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure is applicable to the wireless communication system shown in Figure 1. Referring to Figure 1, the wireless communication system includes a terminal and network equipment. Information is transmitted and received between the terminal and network equipment via wireless resources.

[0074] The wireless communication system shown in Figure 1 is merely illustrative, and may include other network devices, such as core network devices, wireless relay devices, and wireless reply devices, which are not depicted in Figure 1. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the number of network devices and terminals included in the wireless communication system.

[0075] Furthermore, the wireless communication systems of the embodiments of this disclosure are networks that provide wireless communication functionality. Wireless communication systems can employ different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), broadband code division multiple access (WCDMA), 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 carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance. Depending on factors such as network capacity, rate, and latency, networks can be categorized into future evolutionary networks such as 2G (generation) networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, or 5G networks, with 5G networks also being called New Radio (NR). For convenience of explanation, this disclosure may refer to wireless communication networks simply as networks.

[0076] Furthermore, the network equipment relating to this disclosure is also called wireless access network equipment. This wireless access network equipment may be a base station, an evolved node B, a home base station, an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless reply node, a transmission point (TP), or a transmission and reception point (TRP), or it may be a gNB in ​​an NR system, or it may be a component or some device that constitutes a base station. In the case of a telematics (V2X) communication system, the network equipment may be in-vehicle equipment. It should be understood that the specific technologies and specific device forms employed in the network equipment in the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited.

[0077] Furthermore, the terminals related to this disclosure are also called terminal equipment, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and are devices that provide voice and / or data connectivity to a user. For example, a terminal may be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, etc. Currently, some examples of terminals include smartphones (mobile phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), handhelds, personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook computers, tablet computers, wearable devices, or in-vehicle devices. In the case of telematics (V2X) communication systems, the terminal equipment may also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the specific technologies and specific device forms employed in the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited.

[0078] In communication systems, various positioning technologies are introduced to achieve terminal positioning. For downlink positioning, and positioning technologies that combine downlink and uplink positioning, such as DL-TDOA, DL-AOA, and multi-RTT, the terminal needs to acquire PRS settings before positioning the UE. Exemplarily, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of acquiring the PRS settings as shown in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the UE can acquire PRS settings by the following process.

[0079] The Location Management Function (LMF) network element of the core network actively provides positioning support information to the UE. The LMF can provide support positioning information to the UE through the Positioning Protocol (LPP), where the support information includes PRS settings.

[0080] Alternatively, in another embodiment, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of obtaining another PRS setting as shown in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the UE sends a positioning assistance information request to the LMF, and the LMF, upon receiving the UE's request, sends assistance information to the UE, which includes the PRS setting.

[0081] In the following embodiments, the realization of UE positioning will be explained using DL-AOA / DL-TDOA positioning technology as an example, in combination with Figure 3. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram for obtaining further PRS settings as shown in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the LMF sends an LPP Request capabilities message to the UE to request the UE's positioning capabilities, the UE provides its positioning capabilities to the LMF, and can receive positioning support information and positioning information requests sent from the LMF. The UE receives and measures the PRS based on the measurement interval of the network settings. The UE provides the measurement results to the LMF. Here, the positioning support information includes the PRS settings.

[0082] From the above embodiment, in the process of positioning the UE using downlink positioning technology, the LMF needs to provide positioning support information to the UE via LPP messages, and the terminal's PRS settings are configured based on the positioning support information. In this process, the end-to-end delay is approximately 50 ms. However, related technologies have raised the need for an even lower end-to-end delay of approximately 10 ms for IIoT scenarios. Therefore, in order to meet the positioning needs, it is necessary to further reduce the delay of existing positioning technologies.

[0083] Based on this, the Disclosure proposes that PRS settings can be pre-configured on the UE, thereby reducing positioning delay because it is not necessary to transmit PRS setting information to the UE during UE positioning. When a network device pre-configures PRS setting information on the UE and the UE needs to use the PRS setting information, the network device only needs to activate the PRS setting information used by the UE, and the UE completes its positioning by measuring the PRS based on the activated PRS setting information, thereby reducing positioning delay. In the embodiments of the Disclosure, PRS setting information is also referred to as PRS setting parameters.

[0084] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a parameter setting method shown in an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the parameter setting method is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0089] In one embodiment, the PRS configuration parameter set may include PRS configuration parameters for multiple different wireless network devices, and this PRS configuration parameter set includes at least one set of PRS configuration parameters, each set of PRS configuration parameters corresponding to PRS configuration parameters for multiple different wireless network devices.

[0090] In step S12, the PRS configuration parameters for receiving PRS are determined based on the PRS configuration parameter set.

[0091] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the UE can determine PRS settings based on a pre-configured set of PRS setting parameters, where the PRS settings determined based on the PRS setting parameter set are used for PRS reception. As described above, in one embodiment, if the PRS setting parameter set includes PRS setting parameters for the same wireless network device, the UE can determine at least one set of PRS settings based on different PRS setting parameter sets. In one embodiment, if the PRS setting parameter set includes PRS setting parameters for different wireless network devices, the UE can determine at least one set of PRS settings based on a pre-configured set of PRS setting parameters, associate the PRS setting parameters of multiple different wireless network devices in the PRS setting parameters of each determined set, and determine the PRS setting parameters for receiving PRS.

[0103] In one embodiment, the UE determines the activated PRS configuration parameters and / or a subset of PRS configuration parameters in response to the fact that the received second instruction information includes the first and second indicators, and determines the reception of the PRS based on the second indicator.
