Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be illustrative of the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

The boundary of an application scenario of a mobile network communication technology in real life is continuously expanding, for example, application scenarios facing future Augmented Reality (AR), virtual Reality (VR), more novel internet applications (such as car networking, internet of things, etc.) and the like emerge, and requirements of each application scenario for network communication quality and delay tolerance are different. For example, the main requirements of the eMBB service type are focused on the aspects of large bandwidth, high rate and the like; the main requirements of the URLLC service type focus on higher reliability and low latency; the major requirement of mtc traffic types is to focus on large connection numbers. New generation wireless communication systems therefore require flexible and configurable designs to support the transmission of multiple traffic types.

In the research of wireless communication technology, satellite communication is considered as an important aspect of the development of future wireless communication technology. Satellite communication refers to communication performed by a radio communication device on the ground using a satellite as a relay. A satellite communication system is comprised of a satellite portion and a terrestrial portion. The satellite communication is characterized in that: the communication range is large; communication can be performed from any two points as long as the range covered by the electric wave transmitted by the satellite is covered; is not easily affected by land disasters (high reliability). Satellite communications, as a complement to current terrestrial cellular communication systems, may have the following benefits:

1) Extending and covering: for areas which cannot be covered by the existing cellular communication system or are high in coverage cost, such as oceans, deserts, remote mountainous areas and the like, the problem of communication can be solved through satellite communication.

2) Emergency communication: the use of satellite communication allows for the rapid establishment of communication connections in conditions where disasters, such as earthquakes, etc., may occur, which may result in the unavailability of the infrastructure for cellular communication.

3) Providing industrial applications: for example, for delay-sensitive services transmitted over long distances, the delay of service transmission can be reduced by means of satellite communication.

Therefore, in future wireless communication systems, the satellite communication system and the terrestrial cellular communication system gradually realize deep fusion and really realize all-thing intelligent connection.

In a satellite communication scenario, a longer signal transmission distance exists between a transmitting end and a receiving end, so that uplink and downlink time have larger deviation. The terminal needs to maintain synchronization based on positioning measurement techniques (e.g., GNSS measurements) and some assistance information. In the current standardization discussion, it is determined to introduce a delay parameter to compensate for transmission delay, and in order to determine the delay parameter, a terminal needs to report location information, for example, location reporting supported by a terminal in Rel-17. However, for the network side, the location information obtained by the terminal based on the GNSS measurement is not necessarily reliable, for example, the terminal reports false location information, or the information reported by the terminal is intercepted by a malicious user and tampered, and therefore the network side is required to verify whether the location information is reliable.

However, the time required for the location verification process is relatively long, which may take hundreds of seconds, and the network side needs to repeatedly and continuously verify the information reported by the terminal for determining the location to ensure that the information reported by the terminal is continuously effective, so how to avoid frequent location verification is an urgent problem to be solved.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a communication device and a storage medium for verifying terminal location information, and aims to provide a scheme for determining location information reported by a verification terminal applied to a satellite communication system, so as to effectively reduce the frequency of executing verification of location information and reduce the power consumption of frequent testing and reporting by the terminal.

It is understood that the solution provided by the present disclosure may be applied to a satellite access network, and in particular, to a communication scenario in which a UE accesses a core network through the satellite access network, including but not limited to a 5G core network and a core network supporting subsequent communication technologies thereof, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), fifth Generation mobile communication technology evolution (5G-advanced), sixth Generation mobile communication technology (6G), and the like, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

The user devices described in this disclosure include, but are not limited to, smart terminal devices, cellular phones, wireless devices, handsets, mobile units, vehicles, in-vehicle devices, and the like, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

The embodiments provided in the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for verifying location information of a terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method is performed by a network device.

The network device in the embodiment of the present application is an entity for transmitting or receiving signals on the network side. For example, the network device may be an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission point (TRP), a next generation base station (gNB) in an NR system, a base station in other future mobile communication systems, or an access node in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technologies and the specific device forms used by the network devices. The network device provided by the embodiment of the present application may be composed of a Central Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU), where the CU may also be referred to as a control unit (control unit), and a protocol layer of a network device, such as a base station, may be split by using a structure of CU-DU, functions of a part of the protocol layer are placed in the CU for centralized control, and functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layer are distributed in the DU, and the DU is centrally controlled by the CU.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device is taken as an example of a gNB.

As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps.

S101, sending a configuration instruction to User Equipment (UE), wherein the configuration instruction is used for determining whether to execute a position verification operation.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device determines that the location information reported by the UE based on the location measurement is reliable and does not represent that the information reported by the UE is always reliable, so after one verification, the information reported by the UE for determining the location still needs to be repeatedly verified. In order to reduce the number of times of repeated authentication of the network device, in the present disclosure, the information reported by the UE for determining the location is re-authenticated by sending a configuration instruction to the UE, where the configuration instruction may be used to determine whether to perform a location authentication operation, in other words, the configuration instruction may be used to indicate whether the UE performs positioning measurement and information reporting, so that whether to perform location authentication is determined through signaling interaction between the network device and the UE, thereby reducing the number of times of repeated authentication.

S102, determining whether the position information reported by the UE and obtained based on the positioning measurement is reliable.

In the present disclosure, the location information reported by the UE based on the positioning measurement may be understood as information for determining the location. The information reported by the UE for determining the position is obtained through positioning measurement, which may be positioning measurement based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and is not limited in this disclosure.

In summary, according to the method for verifying the location information of the terminal provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send a configuration signaling to the UE, where the configuration signaling is used to determine whether to perform a location verification operation, and determine whether location information reported by the UE based on the positioning measurement is reliable, so as to effectively reduce the frequency of the network device performing verification on the location information, and reduce power consumption of frequent testing and reporting by the terminal.

With respect to the implementation of step S101 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure provides two alternatives, which are detailed below with reference to fig. 2 and 3, respectively.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for verifying location information of a terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method may be performed by a network device, and based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps, as shown in fig. 2.

S201, sending a configuration instruction to User Equipment (UE).

In this embodiment, the configuration instruction includes time information for determining not to perform the location verification operation. In other words, the configuration instruction may directly carry the time information, and may also carry other information capable of determining the time information, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

It can be understood that the time information in the configuration instruction represents the time when the information for determining the location last reported by the UE is reliable, that is, the location verification operation is not performed in the time window corresponding to the time information.

In this embodiment, the time information includes configuration information for determining a time window, the configuration information includes at least one of start position, end position, and length information, and the configuration instruction is used to instruct the UE not to perform a pilot transmission or measurement reporting operation related to location verification within the time window.

It can be understood that, by configuring the time information to the UE through the network device, the UE may not perform positioning measurement and information reporting within the time information, and the network device does not perform verification, thereby reducing the number of times of verifying the location information.

In some optional embodiments, the time Information may be explicitly sent to the UE by the network device, for example, the time Information is sent through any one of a system message, radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling specific to the UE, media Access Control Element (MAC CE) signaling, and physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink Control Information (DCI)). In other words, when the network device sends the system message, the UE-specific RRC signaling, the MAC CE signaling, or the DCI signaling to the UE, the network device carries the time information therein, and sends the time information to the UE.

In some optional embodiments, the network device may send physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink Control Information (DCI)) to the UE, where the physical layer signaling includes an Information field value, and the Information field value is used to assist the UE in determining the time window configuration. In this embodiment, the UE may determine the time window configuration according to the information domain value indicated by the base station and the corresponding relationship between the information threshold and the time window configuration. It is to be understood that the above correspondence may be predefined in the UE, or may be notified to the UE by the base station.

In the two alternative embodiments, the time information may be multiple time information, that is, the base station may indicate multiple time information to the UE, and the UE may select the time information according to its hardware capability, or determine one time information from the multiple time information according to a corresponding relationship between the information threshold and the time window configuration, which is not limited in this disclosure.

S202, sending configuration information related to positioning measurement to the UE.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information is used to assist the UE to obtain location information obtained based on positioning measurement. For example, the configuration information may include at least one of a control signaling format, a degree of aggregation, a number of detections, and a position of detection for determining the detection trigger signaling.

It is understood that the step S202 may occur before the step S201, may occur after the step S201, or may be performed simultaneously with the step S201. The execution sequence of step S202 is not limited in the present disclosure, and it is considered to fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure for the purpose of achieving the present disclosure.

S203, after the time information expires, receiving the information for determining the location, which is reported by the UE and is obtained based on the positioning measurement, and determining whether the information for determining the location, which is reported by the UE and is obtained based on the positioning measurement, is reliable.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the time information configured by the network device to the UE expires, the UE may perform positioning measurement and report the obtained information for determining the location to the network device, and the network device may verify whether the location information is reliable again.

In summary, according to the method for verifying the location information of the terminal provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may configure, by using the configuration signaling, the time information for not performing the location verification operation for the UE, and after the time information expires, receive the information for determining the location, which is obtained based on the positioning measurement and reported by the UE, and verify whether the location information, which is obtained based on the positioning measurement and reported by the UE, is reliable.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for verifying location information of a terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method is applied to a network device, and based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 3, the method may include the following steps.

S301, sending a configuration instruction to the user equipment UE.

In this embodiment, the configuration instruction is a trigger instruction, and the trigger instruction is used to trigger or not trigger execution of the location verification operation. In other words, the trigger command is used to instruct the UE to perform or not perform the positioning measurement.

In an embodiment, the network device may instruct the UE to perform positioning measurement and report information for determining the location through a trigger instruction, so as to perform verification of the location information. In other words, in this embodiment, the network device has the capability of triggering the execution of the location verification, and when the verification is required (for example, the network device considers that the location information that was verified to be reliable last time may no longer be reliable), the network device notifies the UE to execute the measurement again, under this scheme, the UE will not execute the measurement and report the location information without receiving the triggering instruction of the network device.

In another embodiment, the network device may instruct the UE to perform the positioning measurement through the triggering instruction, and the network device does not perform the verification of the location information. In other words, the UE decides whether to perform positioning measurement according to the instruction of the network device, and the UE performs a corresponding action in response to the triggering instruction of the network device.

S302, the configuration information related to the positioning measurement is sent to the UE.

It is understood that the above step S202 may occur before step S201, may also occur after step S201, or may be performed simultaneously with step S201. The execution sequence of step S202 is not limited in the present disclosure, and it is considered to fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure for the purpose of achieving the present disclosure.

It is understood that step S202 may not be performed when the triggering instruction sent by the network device in step S201 does not trigger the execution of the location verification operation.

S303, when the trigger instruction triggers execution of the location verification operation, determining whether location information reported by the UE and obtained based on the location measurement is reliable.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the network device triggers the location verification operation by a trigger instruction sent to the UE, the UE may perform positioning measurement and report the obtained location information to the network device, and the network device may verify whether the location information is reliable again.

The difference from the embodiment shown in fig. 2 is that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the network device does not configure a specific time window for not performing positioning measurement to the UE, but instructs the UE to perform or not perform positioning measurement in the form of a trigger instruction, so that the network device determines to verify or not verify the information reported by the UE for determining the location according to the requirement.

In summary, according to the method for verifying location information of a terminal provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device may determine whether to trigger or not to trigger a location information verification operation through a trigger signaling, and when the location information is triggered, it is verified whether location information reported by a UE based on positioning measurement is reliable, in other words, the network device may determine whether to verify location information reported by the UE based on requirements, and instruct the UE to perform positioning measurement and report the location information when verification is required, so as to effectively reduce a frequency of the network device executing verification of the location information, and reduce power consumption of frequent testing and reporting of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device determines that the location information reported by the UE based on the location measurement is reliable and does not represent that the information reported by the UE is always reliable, so after one verification, the information reported by the UE for determining the location still needs to be repeatedly verified. In order to reduce the number of times of repeated authentication of the network device, in the present disclosure, the information reported by the UE for determining the location is re-authenticated by sending a configuration instruction to the UE, where the configuration instruction may be used to determine whether to perform a location authentication operation, in other words, the UE may determine whether to perform positioning measurement and information reporting based on the configuration instruction, so that whether to perform location authentication is determined through signaling interaction between the network device and the UE, so as to reduce the number of times of repeated authentication.

S402, performing positioning measurement to obtain position information based on the positioning measurement.

In the present disclosure, the positioning measurement performed by the UE may be a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based positioning measurement, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Through positioning measurement, the UE can obtain location information and report the location information to the network device.

In summary, according to the method for verifying location information of a terminal provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a UE may receive a configuration signaling sent by a network device, where the configuration signaling is used to determine whether to perform a location verification operation, and based on the configuration instruction, the UE may perform a positioning measurement, acquire location information obtained based on the positioning measurement and report the location information to the network device, so that the network device determines whether the location information reported by the UE and obtained based on the positioning measurement is reliable, thereby effectively reducing the frequency of the network device performing verification of the location information, and reducing power consumption of frequent testing and reporting by the terminal.

It can be understood that the time information in the configuration instruction represents a time when information, which is reported last by the UE and used for determining the location, is verified as reliable, that is, the network device does not perform the location verification operation in a time window corresponding to the time information. In other words, the configuration instruction is used to instruct the UE not to perform the pilot transmission or measurement reporting operation related to the location verification within the time window, that is, not to perform the positioning measurement and not to report the location information within the time window.

In this embodiment, the time information comprises configuration information for determining the time window, the configuration information comprising at least one of a start position, an end position, length information.

In other words, the UE receives a system message, UE-specific RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, or DCI signaling from the network device, where the system message carries the time information, so that the UE acquires the time information.

In some optional embodiments, the network device may send physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink Control Information (DCI)) to the UE, where the physical layer signaling includes an Information field value, and the Information field value is used to assist the UE in determining the time window configuration. In this embodiment, the UE may determine the time window configuration according to the information domain value indicated by the base station and the corresponding relationship between the information threshold and the time window configuration. It is to be understood that the above correspondence may be predefined in the UE, or may be notified to the UE by the base station. One correspondence is illustrated in the following table:
