Description

Information processing method and device and terminal
The invention relates to a divisional application of an invention application, which is filed on 14.05/2020 and 202010408881.6, and is named as 'an information processing method, an information processing device and an information processing terminal'.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, an information processing apparatus, and a terminal.
Background
The technical scheme of uplink positioning mainly comprises a UL-TDOA (uplink time difference of arrival) positioning method based on time delay, a UL-AOA (uplink angle of arrival) positioning method based on angle and other schemes. For the UL-TDOA time delay positioning method, the position of the terminal is estimated by the relative time difference (UL-RTOA, uplink relative arrival time) between the SRS-Pos (sounding reference signal for positioning) arrival time and the base station's own reference time according to the propagation distance of the terminal relative to each base station. For the UL-AOA angle positioning method, the position of the terminal is determined by a plurality of angle parameters according to the position direction of the terminal relative to the base station.
Specifically, in the prior art, no matter the UL-TDOA positioning method based on time delay or the UL-AoA positioning method based on angle, the base station needs to receive the uplink reference signal for positioning sent by the terminal and perform accurate measurement, so as to calculate the accurate position of the terminal. The precondition that the base station can accurately measure the uplink reference signal used for positioning is that the terminal needs to transmit the uplink reference signal used for positioning to the base station with proper transmission power and correct transmission beam direction. To achieve this, the terminal needs to be provided or configured for a path loss reference signal or a spatial relationship information reference signal in order to set an appropriate transmission power or a correct transmission beam direction.
However, in the prior art, the path loss reference signal or the spatial relationship information reference signal is optional, that is, the terminal may not obtain the reference signals, so that the terminal may not set a proper transmission power or a correct transmission beam direction, and further the base station may not perform accurate measurement, which affects the positioning accuracy.
As can be seen from the above, in the prior art, under the condition that the path loss reference signal or the spatial relationship information reference signal cannot be obtained, the base station cannot accurately perform measurement, which affects the positioning accuracy.

Wherein, in the case that the first signal is the first reference signal and the second signal is the second reference signal, the first operation is to calculate a path loss.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the second signal is the third reference signal, the performing a first operation using the provided or configured second signal includes: performing a first operation using the reference resources obtained in the SSB.
The information processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention is further explained below.
Based on the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, which may be specifically implemented as a configuration method of fallback path loss reference information or spatial relationship reference information; mainly relates to: if the terminal is not provided or is not configured with the first reference signal and/or the second reference signal, the terminal calculates a path loss or sets a spatial relationship using at least one of the first reference signal, the second reference signal, and the third reference signal. Wherein, the first reference signal refers to a reference signal provided or configured by the terminal and used as a path loss reference; the second reference signal refers to a reference signal provided or configured by the terminal to serve as spatial relationship information; the third reference signal refers to an SSB (synchronization signal block) of a serving cell of the terminal for acquiring MIB (master information block) information.
Specifically, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention relates to the following four parts:
a first part if the terminal does not provide or configure the first reference signal;
(1) If the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal calculates a path loss using the third reference signal.
(2) If the terminal is not provided or is not configured with the first reference signal but is provided or configured with the second reference signal, the terminal calculates the path loss using the second reference signal. The configuration information of the second reference signal notified to the terminal includes the transmission power information of the second reference signal.
(3) If the terminal configures a plurality of second reference signals, path loss is calculated using the second reference signal having the maximum RSRP (reference signal received power) value.
(4) If the second reference signal of the terminal is an SRS (sounding reference signal) sent by the terminal to the serving cell, the terminal does not use the second reference signal to calculate the path loss.
A second part, if the terminal does not provide or configure a second reference signal;
(5) If the terminal is not provided or configured with the second reference signal, the terminal sets a spatial relationship using the third reference signal.
(6) If the terminal is not provided or not configured with the second reference signal but is provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal sets the spatial relationship using the first reference signal.
(7) If the terminal is configured with a plurality of first reference signals, the spatial relationship is set using the first reference signal with the largest RSRP value.
A third part, if the terminal does not provide or configure the first reference signal and the second reference signal;
(8) If the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal calculates a path loss using the third reference signal.
(9) If the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal sets a spatial relationship using the third reference signal.
(10) In all the above schemes, the terminal uses the third reference signal to calculate the path loss, which means that the terminal uses the RS (reference signal) resource obtained in the SSB from the serving cell from which the terminal is used to obtain the MIB (which can also be understood as using the RS resource in the SSB, and the serving cell from which the SSB is used to obtain the MIB; i.e. the above-mentioned reference resource).
(11) In all the above schemes, the terminal uses the third reference signal to set the spatial relationship, which means that the terminal uses the RS resource obtained in the SSB from the serving cell from which the terminal acquires the MIB to set the spatial relationship.
Fourthly, the terminal calculates the behavior after the path loss and the spatial relationship are set;
(12) In all the above schemes, after the terminal calculates the path loss using the first reference signal, the second reference signal, or the third reference signal, the terminal performs power control according to the obtained path loss, and sends the uplink reference signal for positioning.
(13) In all the above schemes, after the terminal sets the spatial relationship using the first reference signal, the second reference signal, or the third reference signal, the terminal adjusts the direction of the transmission beam according to the set spatial relationship, and transmits the uplink reference signal for positioning.
The scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is illustrated below.
Example 1 (if the terminal does not provide or configure the first reference signal):
if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal calculates a path loss using at least one of the second reference signal and the third reference signal.
Wherein, the first reference signal refers to a reference signal provided or configured by the terminal and used as a path loss reference; the second reference signal refers to a reference signal provided or configured by the terminal to serve as spatial relationship information; the third reference signal refers to an SSB of a serving cell of the terminal for acquiring MIB information.
If the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal calculates a path loss using the third reference signal.
If the terminal is not provided or is not configured with the first reference signal but is provided or configured with the second reference signal, the terminal calculates the path loss using the second reference signal. The configuration information of the second reference signal notified to the terminal includes the transmission power information of the second reference signal.
If the terminal is configured with a plurality of second reference signals, the path loss is calculated by using the second reference signal with the maximum RSRP value.
If the second reference signal of the terminal is the SRS sent by the terminal to the serving cell, the terminal does not use the second reference signal to calculate the path loss.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a serving cell of the terminal UE1 for acquiring MIB information is a cell 1 in a serving base station gNB1 thereof, and the UE1 acquires MIB information from SSB1 information delivered by the cell 1 of the gNB1, thereby completing system access. And before sending the SRS-Pos2 to the neighbor base station gNB2, the UE1 needs to first determine the transmission power of the SRS-Pos 2. If UE1 is provided with a reference signal for path loss reference, UE1 may calculate the path loss from the path loss reference signal and make a transmit power setting. However, the path loss reference signal is optionally configured, so that the terminal may not be provided with the information, and at this time, the terminal may not determine the transmission power of SRS-Pos2, so that the transmission power setting is inaccurate, and the positioning accuracy is affected. Therefore, to solve this problem, in this example, if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal uses the third reference signal (i.e. SSB1 in fig. 2, SSB1 being the SSB sent by the serving cell used by UE1 to obtain MIB information) to calculate the path loss; alternatively, if the terminal is configured with the second reference signal (i.e., DL-PRS (downlink positioning reference signal) 2, DL-PRS2 in fig. 2 is originally used as a spatial relationship reference signal), the terminal may also use the second reference signal to calculate the path loss.
It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the terminal to calculate the path loss, the second reference signal used for calculating the path loss of the terminal needs to be configured with the transmission power information.
By adopting the method in the example, the path loss can be calculated by using the SSB or spatial relationship reference information of the serving cell provided for the terminal, so that the transmission power setting is more accurate when the terminal transmits the uplink reference signal for positioning, and the positioning accuracy of the system is improved.
Example 2 (if the terminal does not provide or configure the second reference signal):
the terminal sets the spatial relationship using at least one of the first reference signal and the third reference signal if the terminal is not provided or is not configured with the second reference signal.
Wherein, the first reference signal refers to a reference signal provided or configured by the terminal and used as a path loss reference; the second reference signal refers to a reference signal used as spatial relationship information provided or configured by the terminal; the third reference signal refers to an SSB of a serving cell of the terminal for acquiring MIB information.
If the terminal is not provided or configured with the second reference signal, the terminal sets a spatial relationship using the third reference signal.
If the terminal is not provided or not configured with the second reference signal but is provided or configured with the first reference signal, the terminal sets the spatial relationship using the first reference signal.
If the terminal is configured with a plurality of first reference signals, the spatial relationship is set using the first reference signal with the largest RSRP value.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the serving cell of the terminal UE1 for acquiring the MIB information is a cell 1 in the serving base station gNB1, and the UE1 acquires the MIB information from the SSB1 information sent by the cell 1 of the gNB1, thereby completing system access. And before sending the SRS-Pos2 to the neighbor base station gNB2, the UE1 needs to first determine the transmission beam direction of the SRS-Pos 2. If UE1 is provided with a reference signal for spatial relationship information, UE1 may determine the spatial relationship information from the reference signal and make transmit beam direction settings. However, the reference signal used as the spatial relationship information is an optional configuration, so that the terminal may not be provided with the information, and at this time, the terminal may not be able to determine the transmission beam direction of its SRS-Pos2, which may cause inaccurate setting of the transmission beam direction and affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, to solve this problem, in this example, if the terminal is not provided or configured with the second reference signal, the terminal uses the third reference signal (i.e. SSB1 in fig. 3, SSB1 being the SSB sent by the serving cell used by UE1 to obtain MIB information) to set the spatial relationship; alternatively, if the terminal is configured with the first reference signal (i.e., SSB2 in fig. 3, SSB2 originally used as a path loss reference signal), the terminal may also set the spatial relationship using the first reference signal.
By adopting the method in this example, the spatial relationship can be set by using the SSB or the path loss reference signal of the serving cell that has been provided to the terminal, so that the direction setting of the transmission beam is more accurate when the terminal transmits the uplink reference signal for positioning, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the system.
Example 3 (if the terminal does not provide or configure the first reference signal and the second reference signal):
if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal calculates the path loss using the third reference signal.
In all the above schemes, the terminal calculates the path loss using the third reference signal, which means that the terminal calculates the path loss using RS resources obtained in the SSB from the serving cell from which the terminal acquires the MIB.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the serving cell of the terminal UE1 for obtaining the MIB information is a cell 1 in the serving base station gNB1, and the UE1 obtains the MIB information from the SSB1 information sent by the cell 1 of the gNB1, thereby completing system access. And before sending the SRS-Pos2 to the neighbor base station gNB2, the UE1 needs to first determine the transmission power of the SRS-Pos 2. If the UE1 is not provided with the first reference signal or the second reference signal, the terminal may not be able to determine the transmission power of its SRS-Pos2, which may result in inaccurate transmission power setting and affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, to solve this problem, in this example, if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal uses the third reference signal (i.e. SSB1 in fig. 4, SSB1 being the SSB sent by the serving cell used by UE1 to obtain MIB information) to calculate the path loss.
By adopting the method in the example, the path loss can be calculated by using the SSB of the service cell of the terminal, which is obtained by the terminal, so that the transmission power setting is more accurate when the terminal sends the uplink reference signal for positioning, and the positioning precision of the system is improved.
Example 4 (if the terminal does not provide or configure the first reference signal and the second reference signal):
if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal sets the spatial relationship using the third reference signal.
In all the above schemes, the terminal uses the third reference signal to set the spatial relationship, which means that the terminal uses the RS resource obtained in the SSB from the serving cell from which the terminal acquires the MIB to set the spatial relationship.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the serving cell of the terminal UE1 for acquiring the MIB information is a cell 1 in the serving base station gNB1, and the UE1 acquires the MIB information from the SSB1 information sent by the cell 1 of the gNB1, thereby completing system access. And before sending the SRS-Pos2 to the neighbor base station gNB2, the UE1 needs to first determine the transmission beam direction of the SRS-Pos 2. If the UE1 is not provided with the first reference signal nor the second reference signal, the terminal may not determine the transmit beam direction of its SRS-Pos2, and thus the transmit beam direction setting is inaccurate, and the positioning accuracy is affected. Therefore, to solve this problem, in this example, if the terminal is not provided or configured with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, the terminal uses the third reference signal (i.e. SSB1 in fig. 5, SSB1 being the SSB sent by the serving cell used by UE1 to obtain MIB information) to set the spatial relationship.
By adopting the method in the example, the spatial relationship can be set by using the SSB of the serving cell of the terminal, which is already obtained by the terminal, so that the direction of the transmitted beam is set more accurately when the terminal sends the uplink reference signal for positioning, and the positioning precision of the system is improved.
Example 5 (behavior after the terminal calculates path loss):
in all the above schemes, after the terminal calculates the path loss using the first reference signal, the second reference signal, or the third reference signal, the terminal performs power control according to the obtained path loss, and sends the uplink reference signal for positioning.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, before transmitting the uplink reference signal for positioning, the terminal performs open-loop or closed-loop power control according to the path loss obtained from the SSB1 or from the DL-PRS 2. The path loss is obtained by receiving RSRP of SSB1 or DL-PRS2 and combining the transmit power of SSB1 or DL-PRS2, so that the path loss between UE1 and gNB2 can be calculated. And then, according to the path loss, calculating the transmitting power of the SRS-Pos2 sent to the gNB2 by adopting a power setting method of partial path loss compensation. In the path loss calculation process, it is assumed that the channel has reciprocity between an uplink channel and a downlink channel, that is: UE1 may calculate the uplink channel path loss according to the downlink channel path loss. Of course, if the path loss reference signal is itself the uplink reference signal, it is not necessary to assume that the channel has reciprocity between the uplink and downlink channels.
By adopting the method in this example, path loss calculation can be performed by using the SSB or spatial relationship reference information of the serving cell that has been provided to the terminal, so that the transmit power setting is more accurate when the terminal transmits the uplink reference signal for positioning, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the system.
Example 6 (behavior after the terminal sets the spatial relationship):
in all the above solutions, after the terminal sets a spatial relationship using the first reference signal, the second reference signal, or the third reference signal, the terminal adjusts the direction of the transmitted beam according to the set spatial relationship, and sends the uplink reference signal for positioning.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, before transmitting the uplink reference signal for positioning, the terminal performs transmit beam direction setting according to spatial relationship information obtained from SSB1 or SSB 2. The spatial relationship information is obtained by the receiving beam direction of SSB1 or SSB2, so that the transmitting beam direction between UE1 and gNB2 can be obtained. Then, according to the transmission beam direction, the transmission beam direction of the SRS-Pos2 transmitted to the gNB2 is determined. In the process of determining the transmitting beam direction, the channel is assumed to have reciprocity of transmitting and receiving directions, namely: the UE1 may derive the transmit beam direction from the receive beam direction. Of course, if the spatial relationship information reference signal is itself the uplink reference signal, it is not necessary to assume that the channel has reciprocity in the transmitting and receiving directions.
By adopting the method in this example, the spatial relationship can be set by using the SSB or the path loss reference signal of the serving cell that has been provided to the terminal, so that the direction setting of the transmission beam is more accurate when the terminal transmits the uplink reference signal for positioning, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the system.
