Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a new work item description (Description of the work item, WID) is approved in the radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN) protocol for extended and improved NR positioning. One of the goals of its core part is to specify the positioning measurement requirements of the RedCap UE.

Specifically, the following positioning measurement requirements are specified:

1. specifying positioning support for reduced capability UEs (RedCap UEs).

2. Frequency hopping (Frequency hopping, FH) supporting exceeding the maximum RedCap UEs bandwidth is specified to receive Downlink (DL) PRS and transmit Uplink (UL) sounding reference signals (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) for positioning RAN1, RAN 2.

Wherein the complexity of the corresponding functions of the RedCap UEs should be addressed in order to introduce the proper functions for the RedCap UEs.

Based on a single measurement of multiple hops receiving DL PRS or UL SRS for positioning;

association information between each measurement and a received jump point in one or more measurements;

indicating the number of reception hops used in the measurement report and which reception hops, respectively.

Conditions for reporting the above measurement values, and whether the above measurement results can be reported at the same time.

2. For DL PRS Rx hopping, all hops of the DL PRS with Rx hopping are received using a single measurement gap instance.

Wherein it is not assumed that the reported measurement values have to be based on a single measurement gap instance.

3. The LS is sent to the RAN4 to confirm the understanding of the RAN1 and to ensure that the measurement gap has the appropriate duration when required.

However, it has not been determined how to define the measurement method and UE behavior of the RedCap UE positioning with reception (Rx) hopping.

A positioning measurement method, apparatus, device and storage medium provided by embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a positioning measurement method according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, the method may include the following steps:

step S2101, the network device transmits positioning reference signals PRS to the terminal in at least one measurement interval time window, where each measurement interval time window includes a plurality of frequency hopped PRSs;

Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device refers to a physical entity connected to the network.

Among other things, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal is a reduced capability RedCap terminal that supports receive hopping of PRS.

Alternatively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a measurement interval time window refers to a window of interval time between individual measurements.

Among other things, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, PRS is a wireless signal for positioning that is primarily aimed at providing accurate spatio-temporal location information to support various applications.

In some embodiments, names of signals and the like are not limited to the names described in the embodiments, and terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "field", "symbol", "codebook", "code word", "code point", "bit", "data", "program", "chip", and the like may be replaced with each other.

In some embodiments, "acquire," "obtain," "receive," "transmit," "bi-directional transmit," "send and/or receive" may be used interchangeably and may be interpreted as receiving from other principals, acquiring from protocols, acquiring from higher layers, processing itself, autonomous implementation, etc.

In some embodiments, terms such as "send," "transmit," "report," "send," "transmit," "bi-directional," "send and/or receive," and the like may be used interchangeably.

In some embodiments, terms such as "specific (specific)", "predetermined", "preset", "set", "indicated", "certain", "arbitrary", "first", and the like may be replaced with each other, and "specific a", "predetermined a", "preset a", "set a", "indicated a", "certain a", "arbitrary a", "first a" may be interpreted as a predetermined in a protocol or the like, may be interpreted as a obtained by setting, configuring, or indicating, or the like, may be interpreted as specific a, certain a, arbitrary a, or first a, or the like, but are not limited thereto.

Step S2102, a terminal receives positioning reference signals PRS sent by network equipment in at least one measurement interval time window, wherein each measurement interval time window comprises PRS positioned on a plurality of frequency hopping points;

Step S2103, a terminal sends a first measurement result to network equipment, wherein the first measurement result is obtained by measuring PRS;

optionally, in one embodiment of the disclosure, the first measurement result refers to a measurement result sent by the terminal to the network device. The first of the first messages is used only for distinguishing between the remaining messages.

Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal transmits the first measurement result to the network device, the terminal may transmit the first measurement result to the network device based on the second measurement result. And the second measurement result is obtained by measuring based on PRS (radio frequency reference signal) on the frequency hopping point in the measurement interval time window.

It should be noted that when the UE reports a single measurement result based on the measurement results of the or each frequency hopping point, different accuracy measurement requirements will be expected. Second, the UE also needs to determine whether the UE needs to report the measurement result of each hop-point according to the indication of the hop count associated with the measurement report, or the UE only needs to indicate to report any one of them.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second measurement result is obtained by measuring PRS located on a plurality of frequency hopping points in each measurement interval time window, the terminal may send the first measurement result to the network device based on the second measurement result corresponding to each measurement interval time window.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second measurement result is obtained by measuring PRS on a plurality of frequency hopping points in each measurement interval time window of the plurality of measurement interval time windows, the terminal may send the first measurement result to the network device based on the second measurement result corresponding to the plurality of measurement interval time windows.

Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second measurement result is obtained by measuring PRS on a single hop point in PRS in each measurement interval time window, the terminal may send the first measurement result to the network device based on the second measurement result corresponding to each hop PRS in each measurement interval time window.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the measurement interval time window may cover all of the frequency hopping points of the full-width bandwidth, the terminal may measure PRSs on the plurality of frequency hopping points within each of the plurality of measurement interval time windows to obtain a second measurement result. The terminal may then combine and report the measurements on all the frequency hopping points together, in other words, the measurements for each frequency hopping point may be coherently combined, as shown in fig. 3A. Therefore, a single measurement result based on the full-width bandwidth can have better measurement accuracy, and better measurement performance can be realized.

It should be noted that if the UE cannot measure all the frequency hopping points within the interval time window, the UE may not be able to implement the optimized measurement result by combining. That is, when reporting per-hop measurements within a narrow bandwidth, the measurement accuracy is expected to be low. However, if these measurements per hop are performed within the context of measuring the gap, soft combining between different hops within the gap is not necessary, as shown in fig. 3B.

Alternatively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal transmits the first measurement result to the network device, the terminal may transmit the first measurement result to the network device within a first delay allowed by the network device.

Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may send the first measurement result to the network device based on the second measurement result within a first delay allowed by the network device.

Alternatively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement delay requirement may be defined based on multiple measurement interval time windows or a single measurement interval time window.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first delay may be determined based on a period of each measurement interval time window when the second measurement result is a measurement of PRS at a plurality of frequency hopping points within each measurement interval time window of the plurality of measurement interval time windows.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first delay may be determined based on the period of the plurality of measurement interval time windows when the second measurement result is measured on PRSs at a single hop point in PRSs within each measurement interval time window.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first delay may be determined based on a period of the single-hop PRS when the second measurement result is a measurement of PRS on a single hop point in PRS within each measurement interval time window.

In step S2104, the network device receives a first measurement result sent by the terminal.

The positioning measurement method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of step S2101 to step S2104. For example, step S2102 and step S2103 may be implemented as separate embodiments, step S2102 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, and step S2103 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, steps S2103-S2104 are optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.
