下面结合说明书附图对本申请各个实施例进行详细描述。需要说明的是，本申请实施例的展示顺序仅代表实施例的先后顺序，并不代表实施例所提供的技术方案的优劣。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，UE接收网络预先配置的不同小区在第一下行波束集合(DLBeamSet1)内的所有M个(M是大于1的整数)下行波束方向发送的小区级(cell-specific)的第一参考信号(RS)并进行测量，得到本UE针对不同小区的一个最优下行波束方向或者多个优化下行波束方向的第一波束信息测量值并且向网络上报，其中，第一RS包括NR PRS、SSB(主同步信号(PSS)/辅同步信号(SSS或SS)/物理广播信道(PBCH))或者信道状态指示参考信号(Channel State Indication Reference Signal，CSI-RS)；网络针对UE上报的第一波束信息上报值，进一步向UE提供针对不同小区的第二下行波束集合(DLBeamSet2)对应的第二RS配置信息以及第二RS(第二RS包括NR PRS)，其中，第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2包含N个(1<＝N<M)优化下行波束方向；UE利用第二RS配置信息，对第二RS进行测量，得到最优或者优化波束方向对应的RS定位测量值，并上报网络，由网络进行定位计算。
其中，第一波束信息测量值包括但不限于参考信号接收功率(RSRP)、信号与干扰加噪声比(SINR)和/或参考信号接收质量(RSRQ)；最优或者优化波束方向对应的RS定位测量值包括但不限于参考信号时间差(RSTD)以及UE接收和发送时间差(Rx-Tx time difference)，其中，测量值RSTD对应于到达观察时间差(Observed Time Difference of Arrival，OTDOA)的定位方案，测量值UE接收和发送时间差对应于增强的小区标识(Enhanced cell ID，E-CID)或者多往返时间(Multi Round-trip time，Multi-RTT)的定位方案。
其中，不同小区的第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2的第二RS配置信息可以是UE-specific或者UE group-specific，其中，UE-specific表示每个UE单独配置RS波束方向，UE group-specific表示为同一个小区内的一组UE配置相同的RS波束方向。UE-specific或者UE group-specific的RS配置方式可以是周期RS、半持续RS和非周期RS配置，其中，所述周期RS配置通过无线资源控制(RRC)信令、下行控制信息(DCI)信令或者长期演进定位协议(LTE Positioning Protocol，LPP)消息触发；所述半持续RS配置和非周期RS配置通过DCI信令触发。可选地，第二RS与第一RS具有准共站址(Quasi Co-Location，QCL)关联关系。QCL是指某个天线端口上的符号所经历的信道的大尺度参数可以从另一个天线端口上的符号所经历的信道所推断出来。其中的大尺度参数可以包括时延扩展、平均时延、多普勒扩展、多普勒偏移、平均增益以及空间接收参数等。本发明重点关注空间接收参数(即波束方向)。当第二RS和第一RS具有QCL关系时，第二RS能够从第一RS中获得该QCL定义的包含空间接收参数在内的大尺度参数。
在终端侧，参见图3，本申请实施例提供的一种信号测量上报方法，应用于终端，该方法包括：

可选地，所述第一波束信息测量值包括：参考信号接收功率RSRP、信号与干扰加噪声比SINR和/或参考信号接收质量RSRQ。
可选地，所述第二波束信息上报值，包括下列信息之一或组合：参考信号时间差RSTD，以及终端接收和发送时间差。
可选地，所述第二RS配置信息，是网络采用终端级UE-specific或者终端组级UE group-specific的配置方式配置的；其中，所述UE-specific的配置方式表示为每个终端单独配置波束方向，所述UE group-specific的配置方式表示为同一个小区内的一组终端配置相同的波束方向。
可选地，所述UE-specific或者UE group-specific的配置方式，是周期参考信号RS配置、半持续RS配置和非周期RS配置的。
可选地，所述周期RS配置通过无线资源控制RRC信令、下行控制信息DCI信令或者长期演进定位协议LPP消息触发；所述半持续RS配置和非周期RS配置通过DCI信令触发。
可选地，所述第二RS与所述第一RS具有准共站址QCL关联关系。
可选地，第一RS包括新空口NR定位参考信号PRS、同步块信号SSB或者信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS；
第二RS包括新空口NR定位参考信号PRS。
下面以第一RS和第二RS都为PRS为例(第一RS不限于NR PRS，还可以是SSB或者CSI-RS等参考信号)，给出具体实现方案的举例说明，分别从终端、网络侧gNB和网络侧定位服务器(LMF)三个实体角度描述。
具体地，例如在终端侧执行如下步骤：
步骤1)、UE获得不同小区的cell-specific的第一PRS配置信息，其中，第一PRS配置信息包括第一下行波束集合DLBeamSet1对应的PRS的时频资源、PRS pattern和PRS序列等信息。
步骤2)、UE根据该第一PRS配置信息对不同小区在第一下行波束集合DLBeamSet1内的所有M个下行波束方向的第一PRS进行测量得到第一波束信息测量值(包括但不限于RSRP、SINR和/或RSRQ)，并确定包含第一波束信息测量值的第一波束信息上报值，其中，第一波束信息上报值可以只包括取值最大的测量值(对应于最优波束方向)，也可以包括是大于预设门限的前面P个的测量值(对应于优化的P个波束方向)，其中，1<＝P<M。
步骤3)、UE把第一波束信息上报值上报给LMF或者服务gNB，具体地，可以根据网络预先配置是发给LMF或者gNB，或者UE自主确定上报给LMF或者服务gNB。
其中，上报的第一波束信息上报值例如包括：第一波束信息测量值(RSRP、SINR和/或RSRQ)、小区ID、PRS资源(resource)ID和波束方向。
步骤4)、UE通过RRC信令、DCI信令或者LPP消息获取第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2对应的第二PRS配置信息。
步骤5)、UE根据第二PRS配置信息，分别针对该第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2对应的第二PRS进行测量，得到最优波束方向对应的定位测量值，并向LMF上报第二波 束信息上报值，第二波束信息上报值中包括该定位测量值。定位测量值包含但不限于RSTD以及UE接收和发送时间差(Rx-Tx time difference)。第二波束信息上报值中还可以包括小区ID、PRS资源(resource)ID和波束方向。
其中，UE的步骤3)包含两种情况：
CASE1：UE把第一波束信息上报值上报给LMF；
CASE2：UE把第一波束信息上报值上报给服务gNB。
针对两种CASE，根据向UE提供第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2对应的第二PRS配置信息的网络侧实体不同(gNB或者LMF)，网络侧包括两种方案：
方案1(对应上述CASE1)：LMF确定UE接收的不同小区的第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2，并把对应的第二PRS配置信息通过LPP信令通知给UE。
方案2(对应上述CASE2)：服务gNB确定UE接收的不同小区的第二下行波束集合DLBeamSet2，并且通过基站之间的Xn接口与非服务gNB进行交互，然后由各个服务基站把各自管理的UE对应的第二PRS配置信息通过RRC或者DCI信令通知给UE。
