[0139] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional embodiments described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 .

[0140] In some embodiments, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has achieved breakthroughs and progress in various research fields in recent years. Among them, AI-based enhancement of wireless communications is a key research area in the communications industry. Wireless communication networks are characterized by complex channels, low signal-to-noise ratios, and limited transmission rates. AI can improve the transmission efficiency and reliability of wireless signals through data analysis and model training, thereby enhancing the quality of wireless communications.

[0141] In the research on AI technology to enhance wireless air interfaces, AI models are introduced into wireless communication networks to enhance specific application scenarios, such as Channel State Information (CSI) reporting, beam management, and positioning. This can achieve the goals of reducing network overhead and enhancing performance. For positioning enhancement, the focus is on enhancing positioning accuracy through AI models trained with large amounts of data (also known as machine learning (ML) models). Specifically, there are two methods: direct AI / ML positioning and AI / ML assisted positioning. Based on the different entities where the AI ​​model is located and the entities being solved, these can be divided into the following five scenarios:

[0142] Scenario 1: UE-based positioning with a UE-side model, direct AI / ML or AI / ML assisted positioning.

[0143] Scenario 2a: UE-assisted / LMF-based positioning with UE-side model, AI / ML-assisted positioning.

[0144] Scenario 2b: UE-assisted / LMF-based positioning with LMF-side model and direct AI / ML positioning.

[0145] Scenario 3a: NG-RAN node assisted positioning with gNB-side model, AI / ML assisted positioning;

[0146] Scenario 3b: NG-RAN node assisted positioning with LMF-side model, direct AI / ML positioning.

[0147] The training data required for the AI ​​model can be obtained through positioning measurements. For example, positioning measurements can be performed based on a downlink positioning reference signal (PRS). The measurement results can include downlink time difference of arrival (DL-TDOA), downlink angle of arrival (DL-DOA), or multi-path reflection tracking technology (multi-RTT).

[0148] In the related art, a terminal may perform conventional PRS-based positioning measurements within a configured Measurement Gap (MG) or Positioning Process Window (PPW). However, the measurement gap and PPW used for conventional positioning measurements cannot satisfy positioning measurements for data collection for model training. For example, positioning measurements for data collection may require fewer or sparser PRS measurements than conventional positioning measurements to ensure normal data transmission and reception, or more or denser PRS measurements to ensure data collection efficiency. Therefore, a dedicated request and configuration mechanism may be required for positioning measurements performed during data collection.

[0149] For the sake of simplicity, in the following embodiments, the positioning measurement performed for data collection is referred to as the first positioning measurement, and the conventional positioning operation performed on the terminal in the related art is referred to as the conventional positioning measurement.

[0150] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring positioning measurements. Figure 3A is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for configuring positioning measurements illustrated in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal, which can then train an AI model.

[0151] As shown in FIG3A , the method for configuring positioning measurements may include the following steps:

[0152] In step S301, the terminal sends first information to the network device, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval MG and / or a first positioning processing window PPW for a first positioning measurement, where the first positioning measurement is used for data collection for model training.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that a first positioning measurement for data collection for model training can be performed, the terminal can send first information to the network device to request the network device to use a first measurement interval MG and / or a first positioning processing window PPW to perform the first positioning measurement.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following information: a terminal identifier of the terminal; a purpose of the first information; information on the terminal's requirements for a first measurement interval MG and / or a first positioning processing window, and the like.

[0155] The terminal's requirement information for the first measurement interval MG may include the configuration of the first measurement interval MG requested by the terminal from the network device; and the requirement information for the first positioning processing window may include the configuration of the first positioning processing window requested by the terminal from the network device.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may be carried by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message sent by the terminal to the network device, such as an RRC Connection Request for establishing an RRC connection.

[0157] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information sent by the terminal, the network device may send second information to the terminal based on the first information, where the second information is used to indicate the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window to the terminal.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second information may include at least one of the following: configuration of the first measurement interval MG; configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW; identification of the first measurement interval MG; identification of the first positioning processing window PPW; activation signal for the first measurement interval MG; activation signal for the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal may send first information to the network device, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval MG; the terminal receives second information from the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the first measurement interval MG; the terminal performs a first positioning measurement based on the first measurement interval MG indicated by the second information to achieve data collection, and uses the collected data as training data to train the AI ​​model.

[0160] In some embodiments, the terminal may send first information to the network device, where the first information is used to request a first positioning processing window PPW; the terminal may receive second information from the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the first positioning processing window PPW; the terminal may perform a first positioning measurement based on the first positioning processing window PPW indicated by the second information to realize data collection, and use the collected data as training data to train the AI ​​model.

[0161] In some embodiments, the network device may be a base station, an access and mobility management function (AMF), a location management function (LMF), etc.

[0162] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0163] Based on the above embodiments, the terminal can send a request message for data collection to the network device, so that the network device can configure the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window PPW suitable for data collection to the terminal, thereby facilitating the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement for data collection within the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window PPW, and collect reliable training data.

[0164] As described above, the terminal may request the network device for a first measurement gap MG and / or a first processing window PPW for the first positioning measurement. For ease of description, the following embodiments describe the first measurement gap MG and the first processing window PPW separately.

[0165] For the first measurement interval MG

[0166] FIG3B is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0167] In step S311, the terminal may send first information to the network device, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval for a first positioning measurement. The first information may include the configuration of the first measurement interval requested by the terminal, that is, the terminal's request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval.

[0168] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first measurement interval may include at least one of the following: a reference frequency; a repetition period; an offset within the repetition period; or a measurement interval length.

[0169] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first measurement interval may adopt an indication mechanism for data collection only, for example, based on the indication mechanism of the standard version 16 (Rel-16), and may be set to be different from the second measurement interval used for regular positioning measurements, and may indicate an application separately. An example of the structure of its information element (IE) is as follows:

[0170] NR-PRS-MeasurementInfoList-for-AI-data-collection defines an ordered sequence containing at least one and up to maxFreqLayers instances of New Radio Positioning Reference Signal (NR-PRS) measurement information for AI model data collection. The structure of each element in the sequence, NR-PRS-MeasurementInfo-for-AI-data-collection, contains the following fields:

[0171] dl-PRS-PointA-r16: Indicates the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) of the downlink PRS reference point, which is used to indicate the reference frequency.

[0172] nr-MeasPRS-RepetitionAndOffset-r16 is an optional type that indicates the repetition mode and offset of the PRS signal. You can select ms20-r16, ms40-r16, ms80-r16, or ms160-r16 with different repetition periods. The unit is milliseconds (ms), which are 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms respectively. The corresponding integer value range corresponds to different offsets within the repetition period.

[0173] nr-MeasPRS-length-r16: defines the length of the PRS signal. This is an enumeration type that lists several options with different durations in milliseconds, including 1.5ms, 3ms, 3.5ms, 4ms, 5.5ms, 6ms, 10ms, and 20ms.

[0174] In step S312, the terminal may receive second information from the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the configuration of the first measurement gap MG.

[0175] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information from the terminal, the network device may determine a first measurement interval MG to be configured for the terminal based on the terminal's request information for configuration of the first measurement interval MG included in the first information, and indicate the first measurement interval MG to the terminal through second information. The second information may include the configuration of the first measurement interval MG.

[0176] In some embodiments, the first measurement interval MG configured by the network device for the terminal may be determined from the terminal's request information for the first measurement interval MG, or may be determined from outside the terminal's request information for the first measurement interval MG according to actual needs.

[0177] Based on the above embodiment, the terminal can send a request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval MG to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can configure the first measurement interval MG that meets the terminal requirements to the terminal based on the request information, which is beneficial for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement based on the first measurement interval MG and realize data collection.

[0178] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure candidate configurations of the first measurement interval for the terminal; the terminal may determine request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval from the candidate configurations; and then send first information to the network device, and the configuration of the first measurement interval contained in the first information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first measurement interval; accordingly, the network device sends second information to the terminal based on the request information in the first information, and the configuration of the first measurement interval indicated by the second information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first measurement interval.

[0179] Since the network device often takes into account the status and capabilities of each communication device in the communication network when configuring the candidate configuration of the first measurement interval for the terminal, by pre-configuring the candidate configuration of the first measurement interval for the terminal, it is convenient for the terminal to initiate a request for the first measurement interval within the range of the candidate configuration, and also enables the network device to configure a suitable first measurement interval for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement and realize data collection.

[0180] FIG3C is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0181] In step S321, the terminal may receive configuration of a second measurement interval from the network device, where the second measurement interval is used to perform normal positioning measurement on the terminal.

[0182] In some embodiments, the network device may configure the terminal with a configuration of a second measurement interval for performing regular positioning measurements.

[0183] In step S322, the terminal sends first information to the network device, where the configuration of the first measurement interval included in the first information is a subset of the configuration of the second measurement interval.

[0184] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine request information for configuration of the first measurement interval from the configuration of the second measurement interval configured by the network device for the terminal, and include the request information in the first information and send it to the network device.

[0185] In step S323, the terminal may receive second information from the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the configuration of the first measurement gap MG.

[0186] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first measurement interval MG indicated by the second information may be a subset of the configuration of the second measurement interval MG configured for the terminal, that is, equivalent to using at least part of the second measurement interval MG in the second measurement interval MG configured for conventional positioning measurement for the terminal as the first measurement interval MG to perform the first positioning measurement.

[0187] It can be seen that the terminal can reuse the second measurement interval for conventional positioning measurement to perform the first positioning measurement without configuring the terminal with a first measurement interval only for data collection, thereby providing more options and flexibility for configuring the terminal's measurement interval.

[0188] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure a measurement interval identifier list (MG configuration list) for the terminal, where the identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal to support positioning measurements, i.e., at least one candidate measurement interval is configured for the terminal through the identifier list.

[0189] In some embodiments, the list of identifiers of the measurement intervals configured by the network device for the terminal may include a first identifier list dedicated to data collection, and the first identifier list includes identifiers of the measurement intervals configured for the terminal to support the first positioning measurement, that is, at least one candidate first measurement interval MG can be configured for the terminal through the first identifier list.

[0190] In some embodiments, regular positioning measurements do not share the measurement interval indicated by the first identification list.

[0191] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first identification list may adopt an indication mechanism based on the 17th version of the standard (Rel-17), may be set to be different from the second measurement interval used for conventional positioning measurement, and may indicate the application separately. An example of the structure of the IE is as follows:

[0192] PosGapConfig-for-AI-data-collection is a defined data structure that represents the pre-configured first measurement gap for AI data collection, that is, the first identifier list. Its configured parameters include:

[0193] measPosPreConfigGapId-for-AI-data-collection: represents the identifier (ID) of the preconfigured first measurement gap. Its value range is 1 to maxNrofPreConfigPosGapId-r17;

[0194] gapOffset-for-AI-data-collection: integer value ranging from 0 to 159, indicating the offset at which the first positioning measurement starts within the measurement interval.

[0195] mgl-for-AI-data-collection: enumeration type, indicating the length of the measurement gap, which can be 1.5ms, 3ms, 3.5ms, 4ms, 5.5ms, 6ms, 10ms, or 20ms;

[0196] mgrp-for-AI-data-collection: enumeration type, indicating the repetition period of the measurement gap. You can select 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms;

[0197] mgta-for-AI-data-collection: enumeration type, used to configure the uplink timing advance (TA), which can be set to 0ms, 0.25ms, or 0.5ms;

[0198] gapType-for-AI-data-collection: an enumeration type used to indicate the applicable scope of the measurement gap, which can be applied to each user equipment (UE), frequency range 1 (FR1), or frequency range 2 (FR2).

[0199] In some embodiments, the measurement interval identifier list configured by the network device for the terminal may include a second identifier list for regular positioning measurement, where the second identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal that support regular positioning measurement. That is, at least one candidate second measurement interval MG may be configured for the terminal through the second identifier list. If the network device does not configure a first identifier list dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the candidate second measurement interval MG in the second identifier list may be shared by both the first positioning measurement and the regular positioning measurement.

[0200] In some embodiments, when the network device preconfigures a list of identifications of measurement intervals for the terminal, the second information received from the network device may be used to indicate identifications of activated and / or deactivated measurement intervals.

[0201] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a Medium Access Control (MAC CE), and the MAC CE may include an identifier of an activated and / or deactivated first measurement interval.

[0202] In some embodiments, to distinguish whether the measurement interval indicated by the MAC CE is used to perform the first positioning measurement or the second positioning measurement, a MAC CE dedicated to the first positioning measurement can be set to apply for, activate, or deactivate the configuration of the corresponding first measurement interval MG. That is, the data structure of the MAC CE for the first positioning measurement used for data collection is different from that of the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements. The MAC CE used for data collection is referred to as the first MAC CE, and the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements is referred to as the second MAC CE. The terminal and network device can identify whether the received MAC CE is for the first positioning measurement used for data collection or the second MAC CE for regular positioning measurements.

[0203] In some embodiments, the indication (index) in the sub-header field corresponding to the first MAC CE is different from that of the second MAC CE. The terminal and the network device can identify whether the received MAC CE is for the first MAC CE for the first positioning measurement for data collection or the second MAC CE for the regular positioning measurement based on the indication in the sub-header field.

[0204] FIG3D is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0205] In step S331, the terminal may receive a first identifier list from the network device, where the first identifier list includes identifiers configured for the terminal to support measurement intervals for the first positioning measurement, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one candidate first measurement interval dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal.

[0206] In step S332, the terminal sends first information to the network device, where the first information may include an identifier of the measurement interval determined from the first identifier list, ie, requests the network device to use the candidate first measurement interval for data collection.

[0207] In step S333, the terminal receives second information from the network device, where the second information indicates an identifier of an activated measurement interval. The terminal may use the measurement interval activated by the second information as a first measurement interval to perform a first positioning measurement to collect data. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE, where the MAC CE indicates the identifier of the activated measurement interval.

[0208] By pre-configuring a list of identifications of the measurement intervals dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifications of the measurement intervals, thereby greatly saving communication resources.

[0209] FIG3E is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0210] In step S341, the terminal may receive a second identifier list from the network device, where the second identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal to support conventional positioning measurements, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one second measurement interval that can be used for conventional positioning measurements for the terminal.

[0211] In step S342, the terminal sends first information to the network device, where the first information may include the identifier of the measurement interval determined from the second identifier list, ie, requests the network device to use the candidate second measurement interval as the first measurement interval for data collection.

[0212] In step S343, the terminal receives second information from the network device, where the second information indicates the identifier of the activated measurement interval. The terminal may use the second measurement interval activated by the second information as the first measurement interval to perform the first positioning measurement to collect data. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE that indicates the identifier of the activated measurement interval. To distinguish it from a MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements, the second information may be carried by a first MAC CE dedicated to data collection.

[0213] By pre-configuring a list of identifiers of measurement intervals that can be used for the second positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifier of the measurement interval to save communication resources, and the second measurement interval may also be reused as the first measurement interval, providing more options and flexibility for the configuration of the terminal's measurement interval.

[0214] For the first positioning processing window

[0215] FIG3F is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0216] In step S351, the terminal may send first information to the network device, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval for a first positioning measurement. The first information may include the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW requested by the terminal, that is, the terminal's request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0217] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW may include at least one of the following: a repetition period; an offset within the repetition period; a measurement interval length, and the like.

[0218] In step S352, the terminal may receive second information from the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0219] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information from the terminal, the network device may determine a first positioning processing window PPW to be configured for the terminal based on the terminal's request for configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW included in the first information, and indicate to the terminal via second information that the first positioning processing window PPW is the first positioning processing window PPW. The second information may include the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0220] In some embodiments, the first positioning processing window PPW configured by the network device for the terminal can be determined from the terminal's request information for the first positioning processing window PPW, or can be determined from outside the terminal's request information for the first positioning processing window PPW according to actual needs.

[0221] Based on the above embodiment, the terminal can send a request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can configure the first positioning processing window PPW that meets the terminal needs to the terminal based on the request information, which is beneficial for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement based on the first positioning processing window PPW and realize data collection.

[0222] In some embodiments, the network device can pre-configure candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal; the terminal can determine the request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW from the candidate configurations; and then send first information to the network device, and the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW contained in the first information can be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW; accordingly, the network device sends second information to the terminal based on the request information in the first information, and the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW indicated by the second information can be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0223] Since the network equipment often takes into account the status and capabilities of each communication device in the communication network when configuring the candidate configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal, by pre-configuring the candidate configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal, it is convenient for the terminal to initiate a request for the first positioning processing window PPW within the range of the candidate configuration, and it also enables the network equipment to configure a suitable first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement and realize data collection.

[0224] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW may adopt an indication mechanism only for data collection, for example, based on the indication mechanism of Rel-17, and may be set to be different from the second positioning processing window PPW used for conventional positioning measurement, and may indicate application separately. An example of the structure of the IE is as follows:

[0225] The data structure defined by DL-PPW-PreConfig-r17 is used to describe the relevant parameters for pre-configuration of the downlink positioning processing window. Its parameters include:

[0226] dl-PPW-ID-r17: used to indicate the identifier of the positioning processing window.

[0227] dl-PPW-PeriodicityAndStartSlot-r17: used to indicate the repetition pattern and start time of the positioning processing window, and can be used to indicate the repetition period and starting subcarrier slot of the positioning processing window.

[0228] length-r17: indicates the length of the positioning processing window, ranging from 1 to 160.

[0229] type-r17: This is an optional field of an enumeration type, used to indicate the type of the positioning processing window. Optional values ​​include type1A, type1B, and type2.

[0230] priority-r17: is an optional field of enumeration type, used to indicate the priority of the positioning processing window. The optional values ​​include st1, st2, and st3.

[0231] In some embodiments, before the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the network device may preconfigure the configuration of a second positioning processing window for performing regular positioning measurements for the terminal. The terminal may determine request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window from the configuration of the second positioning processing window configured for the terminal by the network device, and include the request information in the first information and send it to the network device. In other words, the configuration of the first positioning processing window in the first information is a subset of the preconfigured configuration of the second positioning processing window.

[0232] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first positioning processing window indicated by the second information may be a subset of the configuration of the second positioning processing window configured for the terminal, that is, equivalent to using at least part of the second positioning processing window in the second positioning processing window configured for the terminal for conventional positioning measurement as the first positioning processing window to perform the first positioning measurement.

[0233] It can be seen that the terminal can reuse the second positioning processing window used for conventional positioning measurement to perform the first positioning measurement, without configuring the first positioning processing window for the terminal only for data collection, thereby providing more options and flexibility for the configuration of the terminal's positioning processing window.

[0234] In some embodiments, the network device can pre-configure a list of identifiers of positioning processing windows for the terminal, where the identifier list includes identifiers of positioning processing windows that support positioning measurements configured for the terminal, that is, at least one candidate positioning processing window is configured for the terminal through the identifier list.

[0235] In some embodiments, the identifier list of the positioning processing window configured by the network device for the terminal may include a third identifier list dedicated to data collection, and the third identifier list includes the identifier of the positioning processing window configured for the terminal to support the first positioning measurement, that is, at least one candidate first positioning processing window can be configured for the terminal through the third identifier list.

[0236] In some embodiments, regular positioning measurements do not share the positioning processing window indicated by the third identification list.

[0237] In some embodiments, the identifier list of the positioning processing window configured by the network device for the terminal may include a fourth identifier list for conventional positioning measurement, and the fourth identifier list includes identifiers of the positioning processing windows configured for the terminal that support conventional positioning measurement. That is, at least one candidate second positioning processing window can be configured for the terminal through the fourth identifier list. If the network device does not configure a third identifier list dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the candidate second positioning processing window in the fourth identifier list can be shared by the first positioning measurement and the conventional positioning measurement.

[0238] In some embodiments, when the network device pre-configures a list of identifiers of positioning processing windows for the terminal, the second information received from the network device may be used to indicate identifiers of activated and / or deactivated positioning processing windows.

[0239] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a MAC CE, and the MAC CE may include an identifier of an activated and / or deactivated first positioning processing window.

[0240] In some embodiments, to distinguish whether the positioning processing window indicated by the MAC CE is used to perform the first positioning measurement or the second positioning measurement, a MAC CE dedicated to the first positioning measurement can be set to apply for, activate, or deactivate the configuration of the corresponding first measurement interval MG. That is, the data structure of the MAC CE for the first positioning measurement used for data collection is different from that of the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements. The MAC CE used for data collection is referred to as the third MAC CE, and the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements is referred to as the fourth MAC CE. The terminal and network device can identify whether the received MAC CE is for the third MAC CE for the first positioning measurement used for data collection or the fourth MAC CE for regular positioning measurements.

[0241] In some embodiments, the index in the sub-header field corresponding to the third MAC CE is different from that in the fourth MAC CE. The terminal and the network device can identify, based on the index in the sub-header field, whether the received MAC CE is for the third MAC CE for the first positioning measurement for data collection or the fourth MAC CE for the regular positioning measurement.

[0242] FIG3G is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0243] In step S361, the terminal can receive a third identifier list from the network device, and the third identifier list includes identifiers of positioning processing windows configured for the terminal to support the first positioning measurement, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one candidate first positioning processing window dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal.

[0244] In step S362, the terminal sends first information to the network device, where the first information may include the identifier of the positioning processing window determined from the third identifier list, that is, requesting the network device to use the candidate first positioning processing window to collect data.

[0245] In step S363, the terminal receives second information from the network device, where the second information indicates an identifier of an activated positioning processing window. The terminal may use the positioning processing window activated by the second information as a first positioning processing window to perform a first positioning measurement to collect data. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE that indicates the identifier of the activated positioning processing window.

[0246] By pre-configuring a list of identifiers of the positioning processing window dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifier of the positioning processing window, thereby greatly saving communication resources.

[0247] FIG3H is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0248] In step S371, the terminal can receive a fourth identification list from the network device, and the fourth identification list includes an identifier of a positioning processing window configured for the terminal to support conventional positioning measurements, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one second positioning processing window that can be used for conventional positioning measurements for the terminal.

[0249] In step S372, the terminal sends first information to the network device, which may include the identifier of the positioning processing window determined from the fourth identifier list, that is, requesting the network device to use the candidate second positioning processing window as the first positioning processing window for data collection.

[0250] In step S373, the terminal receives second information from the network device, where the second information indicates the identifier of the activated positioning processing window. The terminal may use the second positioning processing window activated by the second information as the first positioning processing window to perform the first positioning measurement to achieve data collection. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE that indicates the identifier of the activated positioning processing window. To distinguish it from a MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements, the second information may be carried by a third MAC CE dedicated to data collection.

[0251] By pre-configuring a list of identifiers of positioning processing windows that can be used for the second positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device can request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifier of the positioning processing window to save communication resources, and the second positioning processing window can also be reused as the first positioning processing window, providing more options and flexibility for the configuration of the terminal's positioning processing window.

[0252] In some embodiments, the configuration of the positioning processing window may include a priority of the positioning processing window.

[0253] In some embodiments, multiple priorities can be configured for a positioning processing window, including: a first priority for performing the first positioning measurement; and a second priority for performing the regular positioning measurement. The first priority can be a priority dedicated to the first positioning measurement. That is, when the positioning processing window is used as the first positioning processing window for the first positioning measurement, the priority of performing the first positioning measurement within the positioning processing window is the first priority; when the positioning processing window is used as the second positioning processing window for the regular positioning measurement, the priority of performing the regular positioning measurement within the positioning processing window can be the second priority.

[0254] In some embodiments, after receiving second information from a network device to determine a first positioning processing window for performing a first positioning measurement, the terminal may compare the priorities of currently available uplink and downlink data transmissions, regular positioning measurements, and the first positioning measurement within the first positioning processing window, prioritizing the operation with the higher priority. Since the first positioning measurement used for data collection does not fall within a regular application scenario of the terminal, the first priority level corresponding to the first positioning measurement must not be higher than the second priority level corresponding to the regular positioning measurement, or the priority level corresponding to the uplink and downlink data transmissions.

[0255] By setting a first priority level dedicated to performing the first positioning measurement in the positioning processing window, the terminal can determine a processing order in the first positioning processing window based on the priority level.

[0256] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring positioning measurements. Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for configuring positioning measurements according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for configuring positioning measurements shown in this embodiment can be executed by a network device.

[0257] As shown in FIG4 , the configuration method for positioning measurement may include the following steps:

[0258] In step S401, a network device receives first information from a terminal, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval MG and / or a first positioning processing window PPW for a first positioning measurement, where the first positioning measurement is used for data collection for model training.

[0259] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following information: a terminal identifier of the terminal; a purpose of the first information; information on the terminal's requirements for a first measurement interval MG and / or a first positioning processing window, and the like.

[0260] In some embodiments, the first information may be carried by an RRC message sent by the terminal to the network device.

[0261] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information sent by the terminal, the network device may send second information to the terminal based on the first information, where the second information is used to indicate the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window to the terminal.

[0262] In some embodiments, the second information may include at least one of the following: configuration of the first measurement interval MG; configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW; identification of the first measurement interval MG; identification of the first positioning processing window PPW; activation signal for the first measurement interval MG; activation signal for the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0263] In some embodiments, the network device may receive first information from the terminal, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval MG; the network device may send second information to the terminal, where the second information is used to indicate the first measurement interval MG; the terminal may perform a first positioning measurement based on the first measurement interval MG indicated by the second information to achieve data collection, and use the collected data as training data to train the AI ​​model.

[0264] In some embodiments, the network device can receive first information from the terminal, and the first information is used to request a first positioning processing window PPW; the network device sends second information to the terminal, and the second information is used to indicate the first positioning processing window PPW; the terminal performs a first positioning measurement based on the first positioning processing window PPW indicated by the second information to realize data collection, and uses the collected data as training data to train the AI ​​model.

[0265] In some embodiments, the network device may be a base station, an access and mobility management function (AMF), a location management function (LMF), etc.

[0266] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0267] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can send a request information for data collection to the network device, so that the network device can configure the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window PPW suitable for data collection to the terminal, thereby facilitating the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement for data collection within the first measurement interval MG and / or the first positioning processing window PPW, and collect reliable training data.

[0268] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: configuration of the first measurement interval; configuration of the first positioning processing window.

[0269] In some embodiments, the network device may receive first information from the terminal, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval for a first positioning measurement. The first information may include the configuration of the first measurement interval requested by the terminal, that is, the terminal's request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval.

[0270] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first measurement interval may include at least one of the following: a reference frequency; a repetition period; an offset within the repetition period; or a measurement interval length.

[0271] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information from the terminal, the network device may determine a first measurement interval MG to be configured for the terminal based on the terminal's request information for configuration of the first measurement interval MG included in the first information, and indicate the first measurement interval MG to the terminal through second information. The second information may include the configuration of the first measurement interval MG.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first measurement interval MG configured by the network device for the terminal may be determined from the terminal's request information for the first measurement interval MG, or may be determined from outside the terminal's request information for the first measurement interval MG according to actual needs.

[0273] Based on the above embodiment, the terminal can send a request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval MG to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can configure the first measurement interval MG that meets the terminal requirements to the terminal based on the request information, which is beneficial for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement based on the first measurement interval MG and realize data collection.

[0274] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure candidate configurations of the first measurement interval for the terminal so that the terminal can determine request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval from the candidate configurations; the network device receives first information from the terminal, and the configuration of the first measurement interval contained in the first information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first measurement interval; accordingly, the network device sends second information to the terminal based on the request information in the first information, and the configuration of the first measurement interval indicated by the second information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first measurement interval.

[0275] Since the network device often takes into account the status and capabilities of each communication device in the communication network when configuring the candidate configuration of the first measurement interval for the terminal, by pre-configuring the candidate configuration of the first measurement interval for the terminal, it is convenient for the terminal to initiate a request for the first measurement interval within the range of the candidate configuration, and also enables the network device to configure a suitable first measurement interval for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement and realize data collection.

[0276] In some embodiments, the network device may send a configuration of a second measurement interval for performing conventional positioning measurements to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine request information for the configuration of the first measurement interval from the configuration of the second measurement interval; the network device receives first information from the terminal, and the configuration of the first measurement interval contained in the first information may be a subset of the configuration of the second measurement interval; accordingly, the network device sends second information to the terminal based on the request information in the first information, and the configuration of the first measurement interval indicated by the second information may be a subset of the pre-configured configuration of the second measurement interval.

[0277] It can be seen that the terminal can reuse the second measurement interval for conventional positioning measurement to perform the first positioning measurement without configuring the terminal with a first measurement interval only for data collection, thereby providing more options and flexibility for configuring the terminal's measurement interval.

[0278] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure a measurement interval identifier list for the terminal, where the identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal to support positioning measurements, i.e., at least one candidate measurement interval is configured for the terminal through the identifier list.

[0279] In some embodiments, the list of identifiers of the measurement intervals configured by the network device for the terminal may include a first identifier list dedicated to data collection, and the first identifier list includes identifiers of the measurement intervals configured for the terminal to support the first positioning measurement, that is, at least one candidate first measurement interval MG can be configured for the terminal through the first identifier list.

[0280] In some embodiments, regular positioning measurements do not share the measurement interval indicated by the first identification list.

[0281] In some embodiments, the measurement interval identifier list configured by the network device for the terminal may include a second identifier list for regular positioning measurement, where the second identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal that support regular positioning measurement. That is, at least one candidate second measurement interval MG may be configured for the terminal through the second identifier list. If the network device does not configure a first identifier list dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the candidate second measurement interval MG in the second identifier list may be shared by both the first positioning measurement and the regular positioning measurement.

[0282] In some embodiments, when the network device preconfigures a list of identifications of measurement intervals for the terminal, the second information received from the network device may be used to indicate identifications of activated and / or deactivated measurement intervals.

[0283] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a MAC CE, and the MAC CE may include an identifier of an activated and / or deactivated first measurement interval.

[0284] In some embodiments, the network device may send a first identifier list to the terminal, where the first identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal that support the first positioning measurement, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one candidate first measurement interval dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal; the network device receives first information from the terminal, where the first information may include the identifier of the measurement interval determined from the first identifier list, that is, requesting the network device to use the candidate first measurement interval for data collection. The network device sends second information to the terminal, where the second information is used to indicate the identifier of the activated measurement interval; the terminal may use the measurement interval activated by the second information as the first measurement interval to perform the first positioning measurement to achieve data collection. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE, where the MAC CE indicates the identifier of the activated measurement interval.

[0285] By pre-configuring a list of identifications of the measurement intervals dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifications of the measurement intervals, thereby greatly saving communication resources.

[0286] In some embodiments, the network device may send a second identifier list to the terminal, where the second identifier list includes identifiers of measurement intervals configured for the terminal that support conventional positioning measurements, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one second measurement interval that can be used for conventional positioning measurements for the terminal; the network device receives first information from the terminal, where the first information may include an identifier of the measurement interval determined from the second identifier list, that is, requesting the network device to use the candidate second measurement interval as the first measurement interval for data collection; the network device sends second information to the terminal, where the second information is used to indicate the identifier of the activated measurement interval; the terminal may use the second measurement interval activated by the second information as the first measurement interval to perform the first positioning measurement to achieve data collection. The second information may be carried by a MAC CE that indicates the identifier of the activated measurement interval. In order to distinguish it from the MAC CE used for conventional positioning measurements, the second information may be carried by a first MAC CE dedicated to data collection.

[0287] By pre-configuring a list of identifiers of measurement intervals that can be used for the second positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifier of the measurement interval to save communication resources, and the second measurement interval may also be reused as the first measurement interval, providing more options and flexibility for the configuration of the terminal's measurement interval.

[0288] In some embodiments, the network device may receive first information from the terminal, where the first information is used to request a first measurement interval for a first positioning measurement. The first information may include the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW requested by the terminal, that is, the terminal's request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0289] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW may include at least one of the following: a repetition period; an offset within the repetition period; a measurement interval length, and the like.

[0290] In some embodiments, the network device may send second information to the terminal, where the second information is used to indicate the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0291] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information from the terminal, the network device may determine a first positioning processing window PPW to be configured for the terminal based on the terminal's request for configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW included in the first information, and indicate to the terminal via second information that the first positioning processing window PPW is the first positioning processing window PPW. The second information may include the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0292] In some embodiments, the first positioning processing window PPW configured by the network device for the terminal can be determined from the terminal's request information for the first positioning processing window PPW, or can be determined from outside the terminal's request information for the first positioning processing window PPW according to actual needs.

[0293] Based on the above embodiment, the terminal can send a request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW to the network device through the first information, so that the network device can configure the first positioning processing window PPW that meets the terminal needs to the terminal based on the request information, which is beneficial for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement based on the first positioning processing window PPW and realize data collection.

[0294] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal so that the terminal can determine the request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW from the candidate configurations; then the network device receives first information from the terminal, and the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW contained in the first information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW; accordingly, the network device sends second information to the terminal based on the request information in the first information, and the configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW indicated by the second information may be a subset of the candidate configurations of the first positioning processing window PPW.

[0295] Since the network equipment often takes into account the status and capabilities of each communication device in the communication network when configuring the candidate configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal, by pre-configuring the candidate configuration of the first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal, it is convenient for the terminal to initiate a request for the first positioning processing window PPW within the range of the candidate configuration, and it also enables the network equipment to configure a suitable first positioning processing window PPW for the terminal to perform the first positioning measurement and realize data collection.

[0296] In some embodiments, the network device can pre-configure the configuration of the second positioning processing window for performing conventional positioning measurements for the terminal, so that the terminal can determine the request information for the configuration of the first positioning processing window from the configuration of the second positioning processing window configured by the network device for the terminal; the network device can receive first information from the terminal, and the configuration of the first positioning processing window in the first information is a subset of the configuration of the preconfigured second positioning processing window.

[0297] In some embodiments, the configuration of the first positioning processing window indicated by the second information may be a subset of the configuration of the second positioning processing window configured for the terminal, that is, equivalent to using at least part of the second positioning processing window in the second positioning processing window configured for the terminal for conventional positioning measurement as the first positioning processing window to perform the first positioning measurement.

[0298] It can be seen that the terminal can reuse the second positioning processing window used for conventional positioning measurement to perform the first positioning measurement, without configuring the first positioning processing window for the terminal only for data collection, thereby providing more options and flexibility for the configuration of the terminal's positioning processing window.

[0299] In some embodiments, the network device can pre-configure a list of identifiers of positioning processing windows for the terminal, where the identifier list includes identifiers of positioning processing windows that support positioning measurements configured for the terminal, that is, at least one candidate positioning processing window is configured for the terminal through the identifier list.

[0300] In some embodiments, the identifier list of the positioning processing window configured by the network device for the terminal may include a third identifier list dedicated to data collection, and the third identifier list includes the identifier of the positioning processing window configured for the terminal to support the first positioning measurement, that is, at least one candidate first positioning processing window can be configured for the terminal through the third identifier list.

[0301] In some embodiments, regular positioning measurements do not share the positioning processing window indicated by the third identification list.

[0302] In some embodiments, the identifier list of the positioning processing window configured by the network device for the terminal may include a fourth identifier list for conventional positioning measurement, and the fourth identifier list includes identifiers of the positioning processing windows configured for the terminal that support conventional positioning measurement. That is, at least one candidate second positioning processing window can be configured for the terminal through the fourth identifier list. If the network device does not configure a third identifier list dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the candidate second positioning processing window in the fourth identifier list can be shared by the first positioning measurement and the conventional positioning measurement.

[0303] In some embodiments, when the network device pre-configures a list of identifiers of positioning processing windows for the terminal, the second information sent by the network device to the terminal may be used to indicate identifiers of activated and / or deactivated positioning processing windows.

[0304] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a MAC CE, and the MAC CE may include an identifier of an activated and / or deactivated first positioning processing window.

[0305] In some embodiments, to distinguish whether the positioning processing window indicated by the MAC CE is used to perform the first positioning measurement or the second positioning measurement, a MAC CE dedicated to the first positioning measurement can be set to apply for, activate, or deactivate the configuration of the corresponding first measurement interval MG. That is, the data structure of the MAC CE for the first positioning measurement used for data collection is different from that of the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements. The MAC CE used for data collection is referred to as the third MAC CE, and the MAC CE used for regular positioning measurements is referred to as the fourth MAC CE. The terminal and network device can identify whether the received MAC CE is for the third MAC CE for the first positioning measurement used for data collection or the fourth MAC CE for regular positioning measurements.

[0306] In some embodiments, the index in the sub-header field corresponding to the third MAC CE is different from that in the fourth MAC CE. The terminal and the network device can identify, based on the index in the sub-header field, whether the received MAC CE is for the third MAC CE for the first positioning measurement for data collection or the fourth MAC CE for the regular positioning measurement.

[0307] In some embodiments, the network device may send a third identifier list to the terminal, the third identifier list including identifiers of positioning processing windows configured for the terminal that support the first positioning measurement, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one candidate first positioning processing window dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal.

The second information may be carried by a MAC CE, the MAC CE indicating the identifier of the activated positioning processing window.

[0308] By pre-configuring a list of identifiers of the positioning processing window dedicated to the first positioning measurement for the terminal, the terminal and the network device may request or configure the first measurement interval based on the identifier of the positioning processing window, thereby greatly saving communication resources.

[0309] In some embodiments, a network device may send a fourth identifier list to a terminal, the fourth identifier list including identifiers of positioning processing windows configured for the terminal to support conventional positioning measurements, which is equivalent to the network device pre-configuring at least one second positioning processing window that can be used for conventional positioning measurements for the terminal; the network device receives first information from the terminal, the first information including the identifier of the positioning processing window determined from the fourth identifier list, i.e., requesting the network device to use the candidate second positioning processing window as the first positioning processing window for data collection; and the network device sends second information to the terminal, the second information indicating the identifier of the activated positioning processing window, so that the terminal can use the second positioning processing window activated by the second information as the first positioning processing window to perform the first positioning measurement, thereby achieving data collection.

[0313] In some embodiments, the network device sends second information to the terminal, enabling the terminal to determine a first positioning processing window for performing the first positioning measurement. Within the first positioning processing window, the priorities of currently possible uplink and downlink data transmission, conventional positioning measurements, and the first positioning measurement need to be compared, with the higher-priority operation being prioritized. Since the first positioning measurement used for data collection does not belong to a conventional application scenario of the terminal, the first priority corresponding to the first positioning measurement shall not be higher than the second priority corresponding to the conventional positioning measurement, nor the priority corresponding to the uplink and downlink data transmission.

[0314] By setting a first priority level dedicated to performing the first positioning measurement in the positioning processing window, the terminal can determine a processing order in the first positioning processing window based on the priority level.
