The embodiment of the application provides a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 1, a flowchart of a data processing method, where the method may be applied to a user equipment UE, and the method may include the following steps:

step 101, determining effective configuration information of first positioning auxiliary data of the user equipment according to the auxiliary information configuration list.

Wherein the auxiliary data configuration list comprises effective configuration information. Positioning assistance data such as a transceiver point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP), a specific set of PRS resources under each TRP, PRS resource allocation information under each PRS resource set, etc.

The auxiliary information configuration list comprises effective configuration information of the positioning auxiliary data, wherein the effective configuration information indicates the positioning auxiliary data to be effective under which configuration information, and the configuration information comprises cell identification of a serving cell, TA identification of a tracking area TA and a beam list under a target serving cell; for example, for positioning assistance data a, the valid configuration information includes { cell identity 1, cell identity 2}, which indicates that the positioning assistance data is valid in the coverage area of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2, and the UE may use the positioning assistance data a to perform positioning measurement when the UE is in the coverage area of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2.

Optionally, the assistance information configuration list may include valid configuration information corresponding to one or more positioning assistance data, that is, the assistance information configuration list may include a plurality of valid configuration information entries, and one or more positioning assistance data may correspond to the same valid configuration information, or each positioning assistance data may respectively correspond to different valid configuration information, where the assistance information configuration list may be preconfigured by the network device, so that positioning assistance information is preconfigured in advance, and delay caused by obtaining positioning assistance data by the UE may be reduced.

After the UE acquires the positioning assistance data, the UE determines valid configuration information, i.e., valid configuration information, of each positioning assistance data according to the assistance information configuration list.

And 102, determining the validity of the first positioning auxiliary data according to the valid configuration information.

After the UE obtains the valid configuration information, determining validity of each first positioning auxiliary data according to the valid configuration information, where the validity includes validity or invalidity; for example, for positioning assistance data B, the valid configuration information thereof includes { cell identity 1, cell identity 2}, and the UE is currently within the coverage area of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2, the positioning assistance data B is valid; if the UE is not within the coverage of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2, the positioning assistance data B is invalid.

After the UE determines the effective first positioning auxiliary data, positioning measurement is carried out according to the effective positioning auxiliary data. The positioning measurement is, for example, a Downlink positioning technology (DL-TDOA, downlink Time Difference Of Arrival, DL-AOD, downlink Angle-of-device) and an uplink-Downlink joint positioning technology (Multi-RTT, multiple-Round Trip Time). In this way, the effective positioning auxiliary data can be quickly determined through the pre-configured auxiliary information configuration list, and the time delay of the UE for obtaining the positioning auxiliary data is reduced. In a non-instant positioning scene, for example, in a mobile state of the UE, a mode of the UE request or the network device actively issuing has a certain time delay, and the time delay can be reduced by adopting a preconfigured auxiliary information configuration list.

In an alternative embodiment, in the assistance data configuration list, the valid configuration information is set corresponding to positioning assistance data; or the effective configuration information is set corresponding to the index value. That is, the positioning assistance data may be set directly in association with the valid configuration information in the assistance data configuration list; valid configuration information may also be associated by the index value.

As an example, if the positioning assistance data is DL-PRS-ID-10 (representing DL-PRS-ID of 10), its valid configuration information is { cell identity 1}.

For the case where the valid configuration information is set corresponding to positioning assistance data, one entry in the assistance data configuration list is, for example:

DL-PRS-ID-10

cell identification 1

For the case where the valid configuration information is set corresponding to the index value, one entry of the auxiliary data configuration list is, for example:

3	TA identification
		2	Cell identification 1
5	Cell identity 2, cell identity 4

And the index number in the auxiliary data is positioned to be associated with an entry in the auxiliary data configuration list, so that the validity corresponding to the auxiliary information is flexibly configured, and signaling overhead caused by the validity is saved.

Illustratively, the index value may be set for each valid configuration information in the auxiliary information configuration list, for example, valid configuration information { TA identity } corresponds to index value 3, valid configuration information { cell identity 2, cell identity 4} corresponds to index value 5, as shown in the above table;

Illustratively, the index value may be a default value, such as, but not limited to, the location of the valid configuration information in the auxiliary information list may be employed to determine the index value, the index value of the valid configuration information with line number 1 defaults to 1, and so on; other similar information related to the valid configuration information that can uniquely identify the valid configuration information may be used as a default index value, as well as the present invention.

In an optional embodiment, the auxiliary information configuration list includes an index value corresponding to the valid configuration information; the index value is used for searching effective configuration information in the auxiliary information configuration list;

The preset corresponding relation is the corresponding relation between the positioning auxiliary data and the index value; the UE determines a target index value of the first positioning auxiliary data according to a preset corresponding relation between the positioning auxiliary data and the auxiliary information configuration list, and searches validity configuration information in the auxiliary information configuration list, namely valid configuration information, according to the target index value.

As an example, for example, according to a preset correspondence, the corresponding target index value of PRS positioning assistance data (DL-PRS-ID-10) is 2; according to the auxiliary information configuration list, determining that the effective configuration information corresponding to the PRS positioning auxiliary data with the target index value of 2 is { cell identification 1}, wherein the effective configuration information indicates that the positioning auxiliary data with the DL-PRS-ID of 10 is effective when a serving cell of the UE comprises the cell identification 1, or the positioning auxiliary data with the DL-PRS-ID of 10 is considered to be effective when the UE can detect the cell identification 1.

In an optional embodiment, the preset correspondence includes at least one of the following correspondence, that is, the preset correspondence includes one or more of the following correspondence:

correspondence 1: a correspondence between the transmit-receive points TRP and the index value;

correspondence 2: a correspondence between the downlink positioning reference signal resource set DL PRS resource set and the index value; such as a specific PRS resource set under each TRP;

correspondence 3: a corresponding relation between a downlink PRS resource DL PRS resource and the index value; such as configuration information of PRS resources under the PRS resource sets;

correspondence 4: -correspondence between global navigation satellite system (Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS) assistance data and the index value;

and

Correspondence 5: correspondence between wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN) assistance data, e.g. WLAN set, and the index value.

In an alternative embodiment, the valid configuration information includes at least one of the following configuration information;

configuration information 1: a cell identifier, configured to indicate a valid applicable cell of the valid configuration information; the Cell identifier may identify a Cell by combining a Physical Cell ID (PCI) with a frequency point, or may identify a Cell by using a global Cell unique identifier (Cell Global Identifier, CGI), and may include one or more Cell identifiers.

Configuration information 2: a Tracking Area (TA) identifier, configured to indicate a valid applicable TA of the valid configuration information; one or more TA identifications may be included;

configuration information 3: the beam list under the target service cell is used for indicating effective applicable TAs of the effective configuration information under the target service cell;

configuration information 4: time information; optionally, the time information includes at least one of an absolute time, a relative time, and a time period, for indicating a valid applicable time of the piece of valid configuration information. The effective time may be an absolute time, such as being effective before the absolute time; or a relative time, for example, the relative time is considered to be valid after receiving valid configuration information; a time period configuration is also possible, such as configuring which time period is valid within a day; if the valid time is not configured, the default is valid at any time.

Configuration information 5: index value corresponding to the effective configuration information; i.e. the index value of the piece of valid configuration information in the auxiliary information configuration list. Optionally, if the index value corresponding to the configuration is not displayed, the appearance sequence of each valid configuration information in the auxiliary information configuration list may be defaulted to the index value corresponding to the valid configuration information. For example, if the valid configuration information { cell id 1, cell id 2} appears at the first position in the auxiliary information configuration list, the index value of the valid configuration information { cell id 1, cell id 2} is determined to be 1, and so on.

Configuration information 6: a data type of the positioning assistance data; optionally, the data type includes at least one of PRS assistance data, GNSS assistance data, and WLAN assistance data.

Alternatively, the valid configuration information may be listed in each auxiliary information configuration list. It will be appreciated that the valid configuration information may include one or more of configuration information 1 to configuration information 6 above; for example, the valid configuration information includes only one column in the auxiliary information configuration list, e.g., only includes the cell identity, and then several valid configuration information entries are shown as follows:

Item 1: { cell identity 1, cell identity 2};

item 2: { cell identity 1};

item 3: { cell identity 3, cell identity 4, cell identity 5};

item 4: { cell identity 6}.

The valid configuration information only includes at least two columns in the auxiliary information configuration list, for example, includes cell identification and time information, and then several valid configuration information entries are shown as follows:

item 5: { cell identity 1, cell identity 2, corresponding validity time };

item 5: { cell identity 1, corresponding active time };

item 5: cell identity 3, cell identity 4, cell identity 5, corresponding validity time }.

In an alternative embodiment, said determining validity of said first positioning assistance data according to said validity configuration information comprises:

acquiring parameter information of the user equipment;

The parameter information is information currently detected by the UE, for example, serving cell, cell beam, etc.; if the parameter information is matched with the effective configuration information, determining that the first positioning auxiliary data is effective; the matching, that is, the parameter information includes the applicable condition in the effective configuration information, for example, taking a cell identifier including a serving cell in the effective configuration information as an example, if the first positioning assistance data includes: positioning auxiliary data B with NR-DL-PRS-Resource Set-ID of 5, wherein effective configuration information corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data B is { cell identification 1, cell identification 2}, namely the applicable condition in the effective configuration information is that the positioning auxiliary data B is effective in the cell range of the cell identification 1 and the cell identification 2; namely, when the serving cell of the UE includes a cell identifier 1 or a cell corresponding to a cell identifier 2, determining that the positioning assistance data B is valid; or the UE can detect the signal of the cell corresponding to the cell identifier 1 or the cell identifier 2, and determine that the positioning assistance data B is valid.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the parameter information includes at least one of:

a serving cell of the user equipment;

a cell detected by the user equipment;

a tracking area TA of the user equipment;

a cell beam detected by the user equipment.

If the parameter information comprises a serving cell, the UE judges the validity of the first positioning auxiliary data according to whether the current serving cell comprises a cell in the valid configuration information; or whether a beam of a cell in the valid configuration information can be detected.

If the parameter information comprises the detected cell, the UE judges the validity of the first positioning auxiliary data according to whether the cell detected by the user equipment comprises the cell in the valid configuration information.

If the parameter information includes the TA, the UE judges the validity of the first positioning auxiliary data according to whether the TA in the valid configuration information is included in the current corresponding TA.

If the parameter information includes the detected cell beam, the UE determines validity of the first positioning assistance data according to whether the detected cell beam includes the cell beam in the valid configuration information.

In an alternative embodiment, after said determining the validity of the first positioning assistance data, the method further comprises:

After the UE determines the effective first positioning auxiliary data, positioning measurement is carried out according to the effective positioning auxiliary data. The positioning measurement is used for example in the scenes of a downlink positioning technical scheme, an uplink and downlink combined positioning technical scheme and the like. In this way, the effective positioning auxiliary data can be quickly determined through the pre-configured auxiliary information configuration list, and the time delay of the UE for obtaining the positioning auxiliary data is reduced. In a non-instant positioning scene, for example, in a mode that the UE is in a mobile state, the UE requests or the network equipment actively issues the information, the information has a certain time delay, and the time delay can be reduced by adopting a pre-configured auxiliary information configuration list; meanwhile, the validity corresponding to the auxiliary information can be flexibly configured by independently configuring the auxiliary information configuration list, and signaling overhead is saved.

As a first example, taking the case that the auxiliary data type includes PRS auxiliary data, the UE obtains PRS auxiliary data (first positioning auxiliary data), an auxiliary information configuration list, and a preset correspondence, the auxiliary information configuration list and the preset correspondence are as follows:

(1) Auxiliary information configuration list

The auxiliary information configuration list may include a plurality of areas that further divide the area through which the UE may pass, and the valid configuration information includes a cell identifier, for example, a column of the auxiliary information configuration list includes one or more cell identifiers, for example, valid configuration information entries such as: item 1: { cell identity 1, cell identity 2}; item 2: { cell identity 1}.

Time information (i.e., valid time) may also be included in the valid configuration information, for example, valid configuration information entries such as: item 5: { cell identity 1, cell identity 2, corresponding validity time }; item 5: { cell identity 1, corresponding validity time }.

The effective configuration information may further include an index value corresponding to the effective configuration information.

(2) Presetting a corresponding relation

The UE determines a target index value corresponding to the first positioning assistance data of the user equipment according to a preset correspondence, where the preset correspondence may be in the following forms:

2.1 correspondence between TRP and the index value

For example, in the auxiliary information configuration list, the network device configures an index value for the positioning auxiliary Data IE NR-DL-PRS-Assistance Data Per TRP-r16 under the positioning auxiliary Data IE NR-DL-PRS-Assistance Data; for example, when the IE NR-DL-PRS-Assistant DataPerTRP-r16 configures the PRS configuration with DL-PRS-ID of 10, the index value corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data with DL-PRS-ID of 10 is configured as 2; when the IE NR-DL-PRS-Assistant DataPerTRP-r16 configures the PRS configuration with DL-PRS-ID of 8, the index value corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data with DL-PRS-ID of 8 is configured to be 3.

2.2,DL PRS resource set correspondence between the index values

For example, in IE NR-DL-PRS-ResourceNet-r 16, the index value corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data of PRS with NR-DL-PRS-ResourceNet being 3 is configured as 2, and the index value corresponding to NR-DL-PRS-ResourceNet ID being 5 is configured as 1.

2.3,DL PRS resource correspondence between the index values

For example, in IE NR-DL-PRS-Resource-r16, the index value corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data of PRS with NR-DL-PRS-Resource eID of 20 is configured as 2, and the index value corresponding to NR-DL-PRS-Resource ID of 55 is configured as 3.

(3) And the UE determines effective configuration information corresponding to the PRS auxiliary data according to the auxiliary information configuration list, and finally determines the effective PRS auxiliary data according to a preset corresponding relation, and performs positioning measurement.

For example, if the first positioning assistance data includes: positioning auxiliary data C with NR-DL-PRS-Resource Set-ID of 5 and corresponding validity index number of 1; the effective configuration information corresponding to the positioning auxiliary data C is { cell identifier 1, cell identifier 2}, i.e. the positioning auxiliary data C is effective in the cell range of cell identifier 1 and cell identifier 2; namely, when the serving cell of the UE includes a cell identifier 1 or a cell corresponding to a cell identifier 2, determining that the positioning assistance data C is valid; or the UE can detect the signal of the cell corresponding to the cell identifier 1 or the cell identifier 2, and determine that the positioning assistance data C is valid.

By the method, the network side can configure different validity for the auxiliary data through configuring the limited auxiliary information configuration list and configuring the preset relation between the auxiliary information configuration list and the auxiliary data, and the flexibility of the validity of the auxiliary data is provided and signaling overhead is saved. For example, 6 different validity lists are configured in the auxiliary data configuration list, the network side configures the NR DL PRS auxiliary data for the UE, which comprises 64 DL-PRS-IDs (which can be regarded as 64 TRPs), the network equipment configures corresponding index numbers of the TRPs, and indexes the corresponding validity lists through the index numbers. In this way, the network side can flexibly configure the validity range corresponding to the DL PRS auxiliary data under each TRP (for example, the DL PRS auxiliary data under each TRP may correspond to different index numbers), and overhead caused by repeatedly configuring the validity range corresponding to the DL PRS auxiliary data under each TRP is avoided (for example, when the DL PRS auxiliary data under 64 TRPs correspond to the same validity range, the same validity list may be indexed).

As a second example, taking the example that the assistance data type includes GNSS assistance data, the UE obtains GNSS assistance data (first positioning assistance data), an assistance information configuration list, and a preset correspondence, the assistance information configuration list and the preset correspondence are as follows:

(1) Auxiliary information configuration list

The effective area of the GNSS assistance data is large, and the effective range of the GNSS assistance data can be configured by taking TA as granularity.

The auxiliary information configuration list may include a plurality of areas that further divide the TA through which the UE may pass, and the valid configuration information includes a TA identifier, for example, a column of the auxiliary information configuration list includes one or more TA identifiers, for example, valid configuration information entries such as: item 1: { TA1, active time 1}; item 2: { cell identity 1, active time 2}; item 3: { TA1, TA2}; item 4: { TA3, TA1, active time 3}. The content and form of the validity time refer to the foregoing embodiments and examples, and are not described herein.

(2) Presetting a corresponding relation

The UE determines a target index value corresponding to the first positioning auxiliary data of the user equipment according to a preset corresponding relation, wherein the preset corresponding relation can be a corresponding relation between GNSS and the index value;

for example, the network device configures index value 3 for positioning assistance data in IE A-GNSS-ProvideAssistance data.

(3) And the UE determines effective configuration information corresponding to the GNSS auxiliary data according to the auxiliary information configuration list, and finally determines the effective GNSS auxiliary data according to a preset corresponding relation and performs positioning measurement.

For example, the UE determines that the valid range of the received a-GNSS assistance information is { TA1, TA2} according to the validity list index number 3 (the validity list index number is the index value) protected in the IE a-GNSS-provilasstata and the entry corresponding to the index number 3 in the assistance information configuration list is { TA1, TA2}, that is, the registration area of the UE includes TA1 or TA2, and considers the a-GNSS assistance information valid.

By the method, the network side can configure different validity for the auxiliary data through configuring the limited auxiliary information configuration list and configuring the preset relation between the auxiliary information configuration list and the auxiliary data, and the flexibility of the validity of the auxiliary data is provided and signaling overhead is saved.

As a third example, taking the example that the assistance data type includes WLAN assistance data, the UE obtains WLAN assistance data (first positioning assistance data), an assistance information configuration list, and a preset correspondence, the assistance information configuration list and the preset correspondence are as follows:

(1) Auxiliary information configuration list

The auxiliary information configuration list may include a plurality of areas for further dividing the cells through which the UE may pass, and the effective configuration information includes a cell identifier, for example, one column of the auxiliary information configuration list includes a cell identifier or a SSB (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block) beam list under a certain cell. For example, valid configuration information entries such as: item 1: { cell identity 1, active time 1, index value 3}; item 2: { SSB index0/SSB index1/SSB index2 under cell identity 2, effective time, index value 4}; item 3: { SSB index4/SSB index5/SSB index6 under cell identity 2, corresponding effective time, index value is 1}. The content and form of the validity time refer to the foregoing embodiments and examples, and are not described herein.

(2) Presetting a corresponding relation

The UE determines a target index value corresponding to the first positioning auxiliary data of the user equipment according to a preset corresponding relation, wherein the preset corresponding relation can be a corresponding relation between each WLAN set and the index value;

for example, the network device configures an index value of 1 for the first WLAN set positioning assistance data (i.e., the WLAN-DataSet-r14 configuration ordered first in the configuration) and an index value of 3 for the second WLAN set positioning assistance data.

(3) And the UE determines effective configuration information corresponding to the WLAN auxiliary data according to the auxiliary information configuration list, and finally determines the effective WLAN auxiliary data according to a preset corresponding relation and performs positioning measurement.

For example, the index value 1 of the first WLAN set, the valid configuration information corresponding to the index value 1 is: { SSB index4/SSB index5/SSB index6/SSB index7 under cell identity 2, index value is 1};

the UE determines that the received SSB index4/SSB index5/SSB index6 of the first WLAN set under the cell identity 2 is valid, i.e. the WLAN assistance data is considered valid when the serving cell of the UE includes the cell identity 2 and can detect any SSB signal of SSB index4 to 7, or the UE can detect any SSB signal of SSB index4 to 7 in the cell identity 2.

As a fourth example, the foregoing first example and third example may be implemented simultaneously. Meanwhile, the auxiliary information configuration list can be suitable for positioning auxiliary data corresponding to various positioning auxiliary data; different auxiliary information configuration lists may be configured for different positioning auxiliary data in the auxiliary information configuration list.

In case one, for example, the auxiliary information configuration list of configuration includes the following items:

item 1: { cell identity 1, corresponding effective time, index value of 3};

item 2: { SSB index0/SSB index1/SSB index2 under cell identity 2, corresponding effective time, index value is 4};

item 3: { SSB index4/SSB index5/SSB index6 under cell identity 2, corresponding effective time, index value is 1};

item 4: { cell identity 3, cell identity 4, cell identity 5, corresponding effective time, index value is 2};

item 5: { TA1, TA2, index value 5}.

The assistance information configuration list is applicable to data such as PRS positioning assistance data, GNSS positioning assistance data, WLAN positioning assistance data, etc., and when the positioning assistance data is pre-configured, the relevant positioning assistance data index values may be associated.

If the network device configures the validity index number corresponding to the auxiliary data of a certain NR DL PRS to be an index value of 2, where the index value of 2 corresponds to an entry 4 in the auxiliary information configuration list: { cell identifier 3, cell identifier 4, cell identifier 5, corresponding effective time, index value is 2}, the corresponding validity of the NR DL PRS assistance data is { cell identifier 3, cell identifier 4, cell identifier 5, corresponding effective time }, and when the serving cell or the detectable cell of the UE belongs to { cell identifier 3, cell identifier 4, cell identifier 5} and the effective time is not exceeded, the UE considers that the NR DL PRS assistance data is valid.

In the second case, the auxiliary information configuration list configured includes a PRS configuration list and a WLAN configuration list; wherein, PRS configuration list includes:

item 1: { cell identity 1, cell identity 2};

item 2: { cell identity 1};

item 3: { cell identity 3, cell identity 4, cell identity 5};

the WLAN configuration list includes:

item 1: { cell identity 1, corresponding active time };

item 2: { SSB index0/SSB index1/SSB index2 under cell identity 2, corresponding validity time };

item 3: { SSB index4/SSB index5/SSB index6 under cell identity 2, corresponding validity time };

the PRS configuration list is valid only for PRS positioning assistance data and the WLAN configuration list is valid for both PRS positioning assistance data and WLAN positioning assistance data.

If the validity index number corresponding to a PRS assistance data is configured by the network device to be an index value 2, and the index value 2 corresponds to an entry 2 in a PRS configuration list in the assistance information configuration list (if there is no index value in the PRS configuration list, the corresponding index values are arranged according to an entry order in an implicit manner), and the entry 2 is { cell identity 1}, the validity corresponding to the PRS assistance data is { cell identity 1}, and when a serving cell or a detectable cell of the UE includes cell identity 1, the UE considers that the PRS assistance data is valid.

By configuring the auxiliary information configuration list independently, the validity corresponding to the auxiliary information can be flexibly configured, and signaling overhead is saved.

Referring to fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application further provides a configuration method, where the method is applicable to a network device, and the method includes:

step 201, configuring an auxiliary data configuration list for user equipment; the auxiliary data configuration list comprises valid configuration information of positioning auxiliary data, and the valid configuration information is used for determining validity of first positioning auxiliary data by the user equipment.

Wherein the positioning assistance data is, for example, TRP, a specific PRS resource set under each TRP, each PRS resource configuration information under each PRS resource set, etc.

Optionally, the assistance information configuration list may include valid configuration information of one or more positioning assistance data, i.e. the assistance information configuration list may include a plurality of valid configuration information entries; the auxiliary information configuration list may be preconfigured by the network device, so that the network device preconfigured the positioning auxiliary information in advance, and time delay caused by the UE obtaining the positioning auxiliary data may be reduced.

Step 202, sending the auxiliary data configuration list to the user equipment.

The network equipment configures an auxiliary data configuration list for the UE as user equipment, and sends the auxiliary data configuration list to the UE, so that the UE determines the validity of each first positioning auxiliary data according to the valid configuration information, wherein the validity comprises validity or invalidity; for example, for positioning assistance data B, the valid configuration information thereof includes { cell identity 1, cell identity 2}, and the UE is currently within the coverage area of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2, the positioning assistance data B is valid; if the UE is not within the coverage of cell identity 1 and cell identity 2, the positioning assistance data B is invalid.

In addition, after determining the valid first positioning assistance data, the UE performs positioning measurement according to the valid positioning assistance data. The positioning measurement is used for example in the scenes of a downlink positioning technical scheme, an uplink and downlink combined positioning technical scheme and the like. In this way, the effective positioning auxiliary data can be quickly determined through the auxiliary information configuration list preconfigured by the network equipment, and the time delay of the UE for obtaining the positioning auxiliary data is reduced. In a non-instant positioning scene, for example, in a mobile state of the UE, a mode of the UE request or the network device actively issuing has a certain time delay, and the time delay can be reduced by adopting a preconfigured auxiliary information configuration list.
