Description

无线定位方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信领域，更具体地，涉及一种无线定位方法及装置。
背景技术
无线定位系统通过检测可移动的终端设备和固定位置的网络设备之间传输信号的特征参数(例如传输时间、入射角、电波场强等)估计终端设备的位置，从而对终端设备定位。在某些通信系统中，例如第五代移动通信(5th-generation，5G)系统，终端设备的无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)状态包括连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)、去激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)和空闲态(RRC_IDLE)。当终端设备处于连接态时，终端设备与网络设备之间存在已建立的通信链路，通过该通信链路可以进行数据传输，网络设备可以基于该通信链路对终端设备定位。当终端设备处于去激活态或空闲态时，终端设备与网络设备之间不存在通信链路或已建立的通信链路中断，则终端设备与网络设备之间无法进行数据传输，因此网络设备无法对终端设备定位。
无线定位系统可应用于多种定位场景，一个典型的应用场景为物联网(Internet of things，IoT)领域中的地理围栏(geo-fencing)场景。其中，地理围栏可以理解为一个预设的无线边界，当终端设备进入或离开该无线边界时能够触发即时告警，实现对地理围栏内人员或设备的监控。但是，现有技术中目前不存在对处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备定位的方案。并且，出于节能的目的，终端设备一般都处于空闲态或去激活态，待需要与网络设备通信时才转换至连接态，若每次进行定位时都将处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备转换至连接态，再进行定位，会增加终端设备的信令开销，从而导致终端设备的功耗较大。

本申请提供一种无线定位方法及装置，能够对处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备定位，减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
第一方面，提供了一种无线定位方法，包括：终端设备通过测量服务小区的信号质量，获得第一测量结果，其中，终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态；若第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，终端设备通过执行波束测量，从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果；若第一波束包含在预设波束列表中，则终端设备执行随机接入，进入连接态；终端设备向第一网络设备发送告警信息，该告警信息用于指示终端设备跨越预设无线边界。
通过上述方法，终端设备可以在空闲态或去激活态发起用于定位的信号测量，若测量结果不满足告警条件(即上述第一预设条件和预设波束列表)，终端设备不会进入连接态，换句话说，处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备只有在即将跨越预设无线边界的情况下才会 进入连接态，对于未跨越预设无线边界的终端设备而言，无需进入连接态。因此，本申请提供的无线定位方法，能够对处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备定位，减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
应理解，上述终端设备对服务小区的信号质量测量，可以测量下列参数中的一个或多个：参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator，RSSI)，本申请对此不做限定。
还应理解，终端设备执行波束测量可以理解为终端设备接收第一网络设备发送的参考信号，并对参考信号执行测量的过程。示例性地，第一网络设备可以通过特定的发送波束向终端设备发送参考信号，终端设备采用特定的接收波束接收该参考信号，从而确定每个接收波束接收或测量的参考信号的信号强度或信号质量，即为波束测量结果。终端设备可以从波束测量结果中确定出信号接收强度最强或信号接收质量最优的接收波束，本申请可以称为第一波束。相应地，信号接收强度最强或信号接收质量最优的接收波束上的参考信号的信号测量结果可以称为第一波束的测量结果，即第二测量结果。上述参考信号可以例如是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)、UE特定参考信号(UE-specific reference signal，DMRS)、小区特定参考信号(cell-specific reference signal，CRS)等等，本申请对此不做限定。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，预设波束列表为第一预设波束列表；或者，若终端设备远离第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值，预设波束列表为第二预设波束列表。
应理解，不同的场景对应的第一预设条件可以是不同的，不同的场景对应的预设波束列表也可以是不同的。在本申请中，终端设备能够根据对服务小区的信号强度或信号质量的多次测量结果获知该终端设备是在向靠近第一网络设备的方向移动，还是在向远离第一网络设备的方向移动，从而选择对应的预设条件和预设波束列表进行判断。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的位置测量请求；终端设备根据位置测量请求，向第二网络设备发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果。
上述第一测量结果和第二测量结果可以用于计算终端设备的位置。第二网络设备在接收到该第一测量结果和第二测量结果之后，可以自行计算终端设备的位置，或者，第二网络设备也可以将第一测量结果和第二测量结果发送给其他网络设备，其他网络设备计算终端设备的位置之后，再将计算结果发送给第二网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。应理解，第二网络设备可以为位置管理功能LMF网元，还可以为部署在基站等网络设备上的本地定位管理功能(local location management function，LLMF)；其他网络设备可以为位置测量单元(location measurement unit，LMU)或者为5G NR系统中的定位管理部件(location management component，LMC)。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备是从连接态转换至空闲态或去激活态的，这样，网络侧存储有终端设备的历史位置信息，第二网络设备可以根据存储的关于终端设备的历史位置信息，发起请求，请求对终端设备定位。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，位置测量请求由第五代移动通信系统5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元发送给第二网络设备。
上述无线定位方法可以由终端设备自行发起定位，也可以由终端设备根据网络侧的请求定位。示例性地，5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元可以将位置测量请求发送给第二网络设备，第二网络设备再将位置测量请求发送给终端设备。需要说明的是，本申请仅以5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元为例进行说明，5G通信系统或其下一代移动通信系统中与5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元功能相似的网元，均术属于本申请的保护范畴。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果，计算该终端设备的位置。即，在终端设备自行发起定位的情况下，终端设备还可以根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果计算自身的位置。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收第一网络设备发送的预设信息，该预设信息携带第一预设条件和预设波束列表。
第一预设条件和预设波束列表可以是终端设备从第一网络设备发送的预设信息中获取的。在一种可能的实现方式中，该预设信息可以为系统信息，例如SSB。应理解，第一网络设备发送的预设信息中除了包括第一预设条件和预设波束列表之外，还可以包括其他预设条件和其他波束列表，本申请对此不做限定。还应理解，第一网络设备发送的预设信息中包含的预设条件和波束列表为与第一网络设备对应的预设条件和波束列表。
示例性地，预设信息中包括第一阈值和第二阈值，终端设备可以根据该终端设备的移动情况选择对应的阈值以及预设条件，即若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，该终端设备可以选择第一阈值，进而确定第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，若终端设备远离第一网络设备移动，该终端设备可以选择第二阈值，进而确定第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，上述方法还包括：终端设备根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中确定第一预设条件，多个预设条件对应多种不同的业务类型，第一预设条件与当前业务类型对应。
考虑到系统可以同时预设多个地理围栏，或者地理围栏的形状可以是变化的，即上述预设无线边界可以是多个，且预设无线边界可以变化。不同的预设无线边界对应的预设条件是不同的，不同的预设无线边界对应不同的业务类型，即不同的业务类型对应不同的预设条件。终端设备可以根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中选择与当前业务类型对应的第一预设条件。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述多个预设条件可以携带在第一网络设备发送的预设信息中。
通过针对不同的业务类型设置不同的预设条件，使得本申请的无线定位方法能够适用于多种不同的场景，例如设置多个形状各异，范围不同的预设地理围栏，有利于提高定位的灵活性。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，上述随机接入为基于竞争的随机接入或者两步随机接入。即终端设备执行随机接入进入连接态的方式可以为基于竞争的随机接入，或者简化后的基于竞争的随机接入，即两步随机接入，本申请对此不做限定。
第二方面，提供了另一种无线定位方法，包括：终端设备通过测量服务小区的信号质量，获得第一测量结果，终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态；若第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，终端设备通过执行波束测量，从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果；若第一波束包含在预设波束列表中，终端设备向第一网络设备发送随机接入请求，该随机接入请求携带第一前导码，该第一前导码与该第一波束相关联。
在上述无线定位方法中，终端设备可以在需要发起告警时，采用用于定位的前导码发送随机接入请求，第一网络设备接收到该用于定位的前导码，即可获知存在终端设备跨越预设无线边界。这样，终端设备仅需发送用于定位的前导码以发起随机接入请求，告知第一网络设备存在终端设备越界的信息，后续随机接入的相关步骤可以不执行。该终端设备后续可能随机接入成功，可能随机接入失败，此处不做限定，对本申请提供的无线定位方法不产生影响。因此，本申请提供的无线定位方法，处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备可以在还未进入随机接入连接态的情况下，隐式地向网络设备进行告警，该方法有利于减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
应理解，本申请中的第一前导码是与第一波束相关联的用于定位的前导码。第一网络设备在接收到第一前导码之后，可以能够根据识别该第一前导码是用于定位的前导码，确定存在终端设备跨越预设无线边界。但是，第一网络设备并无法判断具体是哪个终端设备跨越预设无线边界。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在后续随机接入过程中，终端设备可以将该终端设备的标识(ID)发送给第一网络设备，使得该第一网络设备可以识别出跨越预设无线边界的终端设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述用于定位的第一前导码可以是在已有的前导码中增加或减少部分比特，或者，第一前导码携带特殊的标识。其中，增加或减少的部分比特，或特殊的标识用于指示第一波束。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，预设波束列表为第一预设波束列表；或者，若终端设备远离该第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值，预设波束列表为第二预设波束列表。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的位置测量请求；终端设备根据位置测量请求，向第二网络设备发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，位置测量请求由第五代移动通信系统5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元发送给第二网络设备。需要说明的是，本申请仅以5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元为例进行说明，5G通信系统或其下一代移动通信系统中与5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元功能相似的网元，均术属于本申请的保护范畴。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果，计算该终端设备的位置。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收 第一网络设备发送的预设信息，该预设信息携带该第一预设条件和该预设波束列表。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中确定第一预设条件，该多个预设条件对应多种不同的业务类型，该第一预设条件与当前业务类型对应。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，上述随机接入请求包含在基于竞争的随机接入中，或者，该随机接入请求包含在两步随机接入中。

上述gNB和ng-eNB可以为UE提供待测量的信号，并将测量结果转发给位置管理功能(location management function，LMF)网元。
4、接入及移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)网元，主要用于移动性管理和接入管理等，可以用于实现例如，合法监听、或接入授权(或鉴权)等功能。在通信系统200所示的定位架构中，AMF可以接收位置服务请求，或者，AMF自身启动位置服务，并将位置服务请求发送给LMF网元。
5、位置管理功能(location management function，LMF)网元，负责支持UE的不同类型的位置服务，包括对UE定位和向UE传递辅助数据等。LMF网元的控制面和用户面分别是增强服务移动位置中心(enhanced serving mobile location center，E-SMLC)和安全用户面定位平台(secure user plane location location platform，SLP)。具体地，LMF网元可以与上述ng-eNB、gNB和UE之间进行如下的信息交互：
(1)LMF网元可以与ng-eNB或gNB之间通过某些特定的定位协议，例如NR定位协议(NR positioning protocol annex，NRPPa)消息，进行信息交互，例如，LMF网元与ng-eNB或gNB之间传输定位参考信号(positioning reference signal，PRS)配置信息、探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)配置信息、小区定时、小区位置信息等。
(2)LMF网元与UE之间通过LTE定位协议(LTE positioning protocol，LPP)消息进行UE能力信息、辅助信息、测量结果等信息的传输。
应理解，上述LMF网元和ng-eNB或gNB之间的信息传输、LMF网元和UE之间的信息传输，均是通过中间设备进行转发的。以UE向LMF网元发送测量结果为例，UE可以先将测量结果发送给gNB，gNB和AMF网元对该测量结果进行转发，从而使得LMF网元接收到UE发送的测量结果。示例性地，UE向LMF网元发送LPP消息，LPP消息可以是通过LPP协议数据单元(protocol data unit，PDU)传输的，具体可以包括三个步骤：(1)UE将LPP PDU包含在第一消息(例如UL NAS Transport消息)的负载(payload)容器中，然后，UE在第二消息(例如RRC UL Information Transfer消息)中将第一消息发送给ng-eNB或gNB；(2)ng-eNB或gNB通过第三消息(例如NGAP Uplink NAS Transport消息)将第一消息转发给AMF网元；(3)AMF网元从第一消息中获取LPP PDU将其包含在N1消息容器中发送给LMF网元。
其中，UE和ng-eNB之间通过LTE-Uu接口连接，UE和gNB之间通过NR-Uu接口连接，gNB和ng-eNB之间通过Xn接口连接，gNB和AMF之间通过NG控制面(NG Control plane，NG-C)接口连接，ng-eNB和AMF之间通过NG-C接口连接，AMF和LMF之间通过NLs接口连接。
可选地，上述通信系统200还可以包括5G核心网位置服务(5G core network location services，5GC LCS)实体，5GC LCS实体相当于一个网关，可以与其他控制实体连接。AMF网元可以通过其他接口直接或间接地与5GC LCS实体连接。
应理解，上述图1和图2仅为示意图，通信系统100和通信系统200中还可以包括其它未示出的设备。本申请实施例对通信系统100和通信系统200中包括的终端设备、接入 网的数量不做限定。
为便于理解本申请实施例，首先对本申请中涉及到的术语作简单说明。
1、RRC状态
以NR系统为例，终端设备的无线资源控制状态包括连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)、去激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)和空闲态(RRC_IDLE)。下面分别对这三种状态进行说明。
(1)当终端设备处于连接态时，该终端设备与接入网设备以及核心网设备都已建立链路，当有数据到达网络时，核心网设备和接入网设备可以直接将数据传送至该终端设备。
(2)当终端设备处于去激活态时，说明该终端设备之前和接入网设备以及核心网设备建立过链路，但是该终端设备与接入网设备之间的链路被释放了。虽然链路被释放了，但是接入网设备需要保存终端设备的上下文，当有数据需要传输时，接入网设备可以根据终端设备的上下文快速恢复被释放的这段链路。
(3)当终端设备处于空闲态时，该终端设备与接入网设备和核心网设备之间都没有链路，当有数据需要传输时，需要建立终端设备到接入网设备及核心网设备的链路。
由上可知，去激活态只能在终端设备处于连接态的情况下通过RRC连接释放消息转换，而空闲态可以是终端设备在处于连接态的情况下转换的，也可以是终端设备自驻留小区时就处于空闲态。
当终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态时，终端设备驻留小区时可以执行下列操作：
(1)、在当前公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network，PLMN)下接收系统消息；
(2)、当终端设备希望建立RRC连接或者恢复挂起的RRC连接时，该终端设备可以在驻留的小区发起随机接入；
(3)、如果网络设备需要发送消息或者传输数据给已注册的终端设备，网络设备可以给终端设备发送寻呼消息，终端设备可以接收寻呼消息并做出响应；
(4)、终端设备可以接收地震海啸预警系统(earthquake and tsunami warning system，ETWS)和商用移动告警系统(commercial mobile alert system，CMAS)通知。
可以理解的，上述RRC状态的名称仅仅以NR为例进行说明，不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请也并不排除在现有或未来的协议中定义其他可能的命名来替代上述NR中的RRC状态的名称，但具有相同或相似的特性。
2、随机接入
随机接入是指从终端设备发送随机接入前导码(preamble)开始，尝试接入网络并与网络间建立起基本的信令连接之前的过程。应理解，随机接入是终端设备在空闲态或去激活态下发起的，主要是取得与接入网设备之间的上行同步和申请上行资源。随机接入主要应用于RRC连接建立之前的初始接入期间和RRC连接重建立期间。
随机接入分为基于竞争的随机接入和基于非竞争的随机接入。
在基于非竞争的随机接入中，终端设备可以采用接入网设备为自身分配的随机接入码发起随机接入，基于非竞争的随机接入包括终端设备发送随机接入请求和接入网设备发送随机接入响应两个步骤。
在基于竞争的随机接入中，终端设备可以随机选择随机接入前导码发起随机接入，由于随机接入前导码可以在一个资源池中供多个不同的终端设备选择，就会导致资源竞争的 问题。在这种情况下，接入网设备需要向终端设备发送竞争解决消息。因此，基于竞争的随机接入过程包括下列四个步骤：
步骤一、终端设备随机选择一个随机接入前导码，在物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel，PRACH)上发送随机接入请求，可以称为消息1(msg1)。
步骤二、接入网设备检测到携带随机接入前导码的随机接入请求，进而发送随机接入响应，可以称为消息2(msg2)。示例性地，该随机接入响应中可以包括该接入网设备接收到的随机接入前导码的编号、该接入网设备接收到的随机接入前导码的时间调整量、以及用于指示该接入网设备为该终端设备分配的上行资源位置的信息。
步骤三、终端设备接收接入网设备发送的随机接入响应，在该随机接入响应指示的上行资源上发送上行消息(即物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel，PUSCH))，可以称为消息3(msg3)，该上行消息中可以包括该终端设备的唯一标识(例如临时移动用户识别码(temporary mobile subscriber identity，TMSI))或对应的随机接入标识，；
步骤四、接入网设备接收上述终端设备发送的上行消息，并向接入成功的终端设备发送竞争解决消息，可以称为消息4(msg4)，该竞争解决消息中可以包括接入成功的终端设备的唯一ID(例如TMSI)或对应的随机接入标识。
应理解，上述终端设备可以是一个或多个，在多个终端设备同时选择同一随机接入前导码进行随机接入时，就会导致竞争，这时就需要接入网设备通过上述四个步骤进行竞争解决。
上述基于竞争的随机接入也可以称为四步随机接入(4-step RACH)。为了减少上述流程中与随机接入相关的信令开销和时延，可以将上述基于竞争的四步随机接入简化为两步随机接入(2-step RACH)。两步随机接入适用于小数据传输和/或在未许可频段的场景。具体地，两步随机接入主要包括终端设备向接入网设备发送消息A(msgA)和接入网设备向终端设备发送消息B(msgB)两个步骤。其中，msgA可以包括msg 1和msg 3中的消息，msgB可以包括msg 2和msg 4中的消息。示例性地，msgA可以包括携带随机接入前导码的随机接入请求、用于请求建立连接、重建连接或恢复连接的消息、用于请求按需系统信息的消息、小区无线网络临时标识(cell-radio network temporary identity，C-RNTI)等；msgB中可以包括定时提前、C-RNTI等。
考虑到基于非竞争的随机接入也只有两个步骤，需要说明的是，本申请实施例的两步随机接入特指基于竞争的两步随机接入。
3、地理围栏(geo-fencing)
地理围栏是位置定位服务(location based services，LBS)的一种新应用，地理围栏是用一个虚拟的栅栏封闭的地理边界，当终端设备进入或者离开该地理边界时能够触发即时警报，实现对地理围栏内人员的监控。
地理围栏能够为各大场景提供智能安全防护，例如，在工业园区能够实时监控资产位置，在幼儿园或养老院能够通过地理围栏界定安全区域和危险范围，能够帮助智能家居行业通过近场身份识别进行智能开锁等。
应理解，地理围栏的形状可以是圆形、椭圆形或多边形等，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
无线定位系统对终端设备的定位是通过检测终端设备和固定位置的网络设备之间传 输信号的特征参数(例如传输时间、入射角、电波场强等)，来估计出该终端设备的位置。当终端设备处于连接态时，该终端设备与网络设备之间存在已建立的链路，可以进行数据传输，网络设备可以对该终端设备进行定位。当终端设备处于去激活态或空闲态时，该终端设备与网络设备之间没有链路，无法进行数据传输，因此无法进行定位。在某些特殊的场景，例如物联网(Internet of things，IoT)领域的地理围栏(geo-fencing)场景，出于节能的目的，终端设备一般都处于空闲态或去激活态，待需要通信时才转换至连接态，若每次进行定位时都将处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备转换至连接态，再进行定位，会导致终端设备的信令开销较大，从而导致终端设备的功耗较大。
有鉴于此，本申请提供一种无线定位方法及装置，能够对处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备进行定位，减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
在介绍本申请提供的方法之前，先做出以下几点说明。
第一，在本申请中，“指示”可以包括直接指示和间接指示，也可以包括显式指示和隐式指示。将某一信息(如下文所述的告警信息)所指示的信息称为待指示信息，则具体实现过程中，对待指示信息进行指示的方式可以有很多种，例如但不限于，可以直接指示待指示信息，如指示待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息，其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分，而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如，还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示，从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。
第二，在下文示出的实施例中，各术语及英文缩略语，如媒体接入控制控制元素(media access control-control element，MAC-CE)、无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)、同步信号(synchronization signal，SS)、物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)、同步信号块(SS/PBCH block，SSB)等，均为方便描述而给出的示例性举例，不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请并不排除在已有或未来的协议中定义其它能够实现相同或相似功能的术语的可能。
第三，在下文示出的实施例中第一、第二以及各种数字编号仅为描述方便进行的区分，并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如，区分不同的阈值、不同的预设条件、不同的预设波束列表等。
第四，在下文示出的实施例中，“预先获取”可包括由网络设备信令指示或者预先定义，例如，协议定义。其中，“预先定义”可以通过在设备(例如，包括终端设备和网络设备)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现，本申请对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。
第五，本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议，例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议，本申请对此不做限定。
下面结合图3至图7详细说明本申请提供的各个实施例。
本申请实施例以终端设备和网络设备为例进行描述，应理解，终端设备可以替换为能够实现与终端设备类似功能的装置或芯片，网络设备也可以替换为能够实现与网络设备类 似功能的装置或芯片，本申请实施例对其名称不作限定。
图3为本申请实施例提供的无线定位方法300的示意性流程图。该方法300可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100，也可以应用于图2所示的通信系统200，本申请实施例对此不作限定。该方法300可以包括：
S310，终端设备对服务小区的信号质量进行测量，获得第一测量结果，其中，终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态；
S320，若第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，则终端设备进行波束测量，并从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，其中，第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果；
S330，若第一波束包含在预设波束列表中，则终端设备执行随机接入，进入连接态；
S340，终端设备向第一网络设备发送告警信息，该告警信息用于指示终端设备跨越预设无线边界。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态，无法向网络侧发送信息，但是，终端设备可以接收到网络侧传输的信号。在步骤S310中，终端设备可以接收服务小区的信号，并对信号质量进行测量，获得第一测量结果。该第一测量结果表示终端设备对服务小区的信号测量结果，具体可以通过数值表示。应理解，上述终端设备对服务小区的信号质量进行测量，可以测量下列参数中的一个或多个：参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator，RSSI)，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
终端设备在获得了第一测量结果之后，可以判断该第一测量结果是否满足第一预设条件。该第一预设条件可以是终端设备预先获取的。示例性地，该第一预设条件可以是协议定义的；或者，该第一预设条件可以是终端设备从第一网络设备发送的预设信息中获取的。例如，第一网络设备可以发送该预设信息(例如系统信息)，以便使处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备获取该预设信息，进而从预设信息中获取上述第一预设条件。若第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，该终端设备继续进行波束测量，即执行步骤S320；若第一测量结果不满足第一预设条件，该终端设备可以终止测量，结束本次定位流程。
在步骤S320中，终端设备进行波束测量可以理解为终端设备接收第一网络设备发送的参考信号，并对参考信号进行测量的过程。示例性地，第一网络设备可以通过特定的发送波束向终端设备发送参考信号，终端设备采用特定的接收波束接收该参考信号，从而确定每个接收波束接收或测量的参考信号的信号强度或信号质量，即为波束测量结果。终端设备可以从波束测量结果中确定出信号接收强度最强或信号接收质量最优的接收波束，本申请实施例可以称为第一波束。相应地，信号接收强度最强或信号接收质量最优的接收波束上的参考信号的信号测量结果可以称为第一波束的测量结果，即第二测量结果。上述参考信号可以例如是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)、UE特定参考信号(UE-specific reference signal，DMRS)、小区特定参考信号(cell-specific reference signal，CRS)等等，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
终端设备在获得了第二测量结果之后，可以判断该第二测量结果对应的第一波束是否属于预设波束列表。该预设波束列表也可以是终端设备预先获取的。示例性地，该预设波束列表可以是协议定义的；或者，该预设波束列表可以是终端设备从第一网络设备发送的 预设信息中获取的。与上述第一预设条件类似，此处不再赘述。若第一波束包含在预设波束列表中，该终端设备发起随机接入，进入连接态，即继续执行步骤S330；若第一波束不包含在预设波束列表中，该终端设备可以结束本次定位流程。
应理解，上述第一预设条件和预设波束列表均是按照预设无线边界设置的，上述第一波束包含在预设波束列表即表明终端设备即将跨越预设无线边界，需要向网络设备告警。由于终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态，终端设备需要执行步骤S330，进入连接态，建立可以进行数据传输的通信链路，才可以向与预设无线边界相关的网络设备发送告警信息。还应理解，终端设备执行随机接入进入连接态的方式可以为前述介绍的基于竞争的随机接入，或者简化后的基于竞争的随机接入，即两步随机接入，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
在终端设备进入了连接态之后，该终端设备可以执行步骤S340，即向第一网络设备发送告警信息，指示该终端设备跨越预设无线边界。示例性地，该告警信息可以为1比特的信息，具体可以为0或1，或者为其它形式的信息，本申请对此不做限定。
通过上述方法，终端设备可以在空闲态或去激活态就发起用于定位的信号测量，若测量结果不满足告警条件(即上述第一预设条件和预设波束列表)，终端设备不会进入连接态，换句话说，处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备只有在即将跨越预设无线边界的情况下才会进入连接态，对于未跨越预设无线边界的终端设备而言，无需进入连接态。因此，本申请实施例的无线定位方法，能够对处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备进行定位，减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
在上述方法300中，步骤S310中的小区信号测量是在低频(对应低频小区)，而步骤S320中的波束测量是在高频(对应高频小区)，示例性地，低频小区的工作频段小于某一阈值(例如小于6GHz)，高频小区的工作频段在某两个阈值之间(例如24.25GHz～52.6GHz)。因此，根据终端设备的服务小区是否能够工作在低频和高频，可以分下列两种情况：
情况1、服务小区能够工作在低频和高频，又称为高频小区和低频小区共站点。
对于情况1，低频小区和高频小区对应的网络设备均为第一网络设备(例如可以看作一个宏基站)，终端设备通过接收该第一网络设备的信号可以完成服务小区的信号质量的测量和波束测量。
情况2、服务小区仅能工作在低频，又称高频小区和低频小区非共站点。
对于情况2，低频小区对应的网络设备为第一网络设备(例如可以看作一个宏基站)，高频小区可以有一个或多个，分别对应一个或多个其他网络设备(例如可以看作宏基站覆盖范围内的小基站)，终端设备在进行波束测量时，需要接收该一个或多个其他网络设备的参考信号，获得相应的波束的测量结果。与情况1不同的是，情况2中的多个网络设备之间需要通过信令交互，传输预设波束列表中的波束的信息。
以宏基站和小基站为例，一个或多个小基站可以将各自的预设波束列表发送给宏基站，例如小基站1的预设波束列表为{2,3}，小基站2的预设波束列表为{5,6}，小基站3的预设波束类别为{6,7}，宏基站接收各个小基站发送的预设波束列表，进行汇总可以得到最终的预设波束列表{2,3,5,6,7}。
应理解，在情况2中，多个网络设备之间的信令交互可以在终端设备进行波束测量之前执行，具体可以在终端设备进行服务小区的信号质量测量之前，也可以在终端设备进行 服务小区的信号质量测量之后，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，预设波束列表为第一预设波束列表；或者，若终端设备远离第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值，预设波束列表为第二预设波束列表。
应理解，不同的场景对应的第一预设条件可以是不同的，不同的场景对应的预设波束列表也可以是不同的。在本申请实施例中，终端设备能够根据对服务小区的信号强度或信号质量的多次测量结果获知该终端设备是在向靠近第一网络设备的方向移动，还是在向远离第一网络设备的方向移动，从而选择对应的预设条件和预设波束列表进行判断。
为了便于理解，下面结合图4所示的地理围栏场景分情况对本申请实施例进行详细说明。
由于第一阈值和第二阈值是针对同一个网络设备而言的，不同的网络设备对应的第一阈值和第二阈值可以是不同的，为避免引起歧义，下面采用网络设备的第一阈值、网络设备的第二阈值的方式进行描述。同理，上述第一预设波束列表和第二波束预设列表也是针对同一个网络设备而言的，不同的网络设备对应的第一预设波束列表和第二波束预设列表可以是不同的，为避免引起歧义，下面采用网络设备的第一预设波束列表、网络设备的第二波束预设列表的方式进行描述。
情况1、第一网络设备为网络设备A，如图所示，网络设备A位于预设无线边界外部。
(1)终端设备从预设无线边界内开始移动，即终端设备将从内往外跨越预设无线边界。
这种情况下，终端设备是靠近网络设备A移动的，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于网络设备A的第一阈值，预设波束列表为网络设备A的第一预设波束列表。即终端设备距离网络设备A越来越近，信号质量会越来越强，在信号质量强到内边界所对应的信号强度时，可以认为终端设备满足第一预设条件，进而触发终端设备的波束测量。可选地，该网络设备A的第一阈值为图4中内边界所对应的网络设备A的信号强度值，但本申请实施例对此不做限定。图4示出了网络设备A的第一预设波束列表{1,2,3,4}，假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束2对应的测量结果，那么由于波束2属于该网络设备A的第一预设波束列表，该终端设备可以执行随机接入，进入连接态以便向网络设备A发送告警信息。假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束10对应的测量结果，那么由于波束10不属于该网络设备A的第一预设波束列表，该终端设备可以不发起随机接入，继续处于空闲态或去激活态。
(2)终端设备从预设无线边界外开始移动，即终端设备将从外往内跨越预设无线边界。
这种情况下，终端设备是远离网络设备A移动的，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于网络设备A的第二阈值，预设波束列表为网络设备A的第二预设波束列表。即终端设备距离网络设备A越来越远，信号质量会越来越弱，在信号质量弱到外边界所对应的信号强度时，可以认为终端设备满足第一预设条件，进而触发终端设备的波束测量。可选地，该网络设备A的第二阈值为图4中外边界所对应的网络设备A的信号强度值，但本申请实施例对此不做限定。图4示出了网络设备A的第二预设波束列表{1,2,3,4,5}，假设 终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束2对应的测量结果，那么由于波束2属于该网络设备A的第二预设波束列表，该终端设备可以执行随机接入，进入连接态以便向网络设备A发送告警信息。假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束10对应的测量结果，那么由于波束10不属于该网络设备A的第二预设波束列表，该终端设备可以不发起随机接入，继续处于空闲态或去激活态。
考虑到上述网络设备A的位置，外边界所对应的信号强度比内边界对应的信号强度强，因此，上述网络设备A的第二阈值大于网络设备A的第一阈值。在图4中，网络设备A的第一预设波束列表和第二预设波束列表是不同的。
情况2、第一网络设备为图4中的网络设备B，如图所示，网络设备B位于预设无线边界内部。
(1)终端设备从预设无线边界内开始移动，即终端设备将从内往外跨越预设无线边界。
这种情况下，终端设备是远离网络设备B移动的，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于网络设备B的第二阈值，预设波束列表为网络设备B的第二预设波束列表。即终端设备距离网络设备B越来越远，信号质量会越来越弱，在信号质量弱到内边界所对应的信号强度时，可以认为终端设备满足第一预设条件，进而触发终端设备的波束测量。可选地，该网络设备B的第二阈值为图4中外边界所对应的网络设备B的信号强度值，但本申请实施例对此不做限定。图4示出了网络设备B的第二预设波束列表{9，10,11,12,13,14}，假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束12对应的测量结果，那么由于波束2属于该网络设备B的第二预设波束列表，该终端设备可以执行随机接入，进入连接态以便向网络设备B发送告警信息。假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束5对应的测量结果，那么由于波束5不属于该网络设备B的第二预设波束列表，该终端设备可以不发起随机接入，继续处于空闲态或去激活态。
(2)终端设备从预设无线边界外开始移动，即终端设备将从外往内跨越预设无线边界。
这种情况下，终端设备是靠近网络设备B移动的，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于网络设备B的第一阈值，预设波束列表为网络设备B的第一预设波束列表。即终端设备距离网络设备B越来越近，信号质量会越来越强，在信号质量强到外边界所对应的信号强度时，可以认为终端设备满足第一预设条件，进而触发终端设备的波束测量。可选地，该网络设备B的第一阈值为图4中外边界所对应的网络设备B的信号强度值，但本申请实施例对此不做限定。图4示出了网络设备B的第一预设波束列表{9，10,11,12,13,14}，假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束12对应的测量结果，那么由于波束12属于该网络设备B的第一预设波束列表，该终端设备可以执行随机接入，进入连接态以便向网络设备B发送告警信息。假设终端设备进行波束测量获得的第二测量结果为波束5对应的测量结果，那么由于波束5不属于该网络设备B的第一预设波束列表，该终端设备可以不发起随机接入，继续处于空闲态或去激活态。
考虑到上述网络设备B的位置，外边界所对应的信号强度比内边界对应的信号强度强，因此，上述网络设备B的第二阈值大于网络设备B的第一阈值。在图4中，网络设备B的第一预设波束列表和第二预设波束列表是相同的。
应理解，上述仅仅示例性地列出了两种可能的情况，各个小区的预设条件和其对应的预设波束列表可以是该小区的网络设备结合所有波束和预设无线边界的情况确定的，本申请实施例对预设条件和其对应的预设波束列表的选取不做限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的位置测量请求；该终端设备根据该位置测量请求，向第二网络设备发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果。
上述第一测量结果和第二测量结果可以用于计算终端设备的位置。第二网络设备在接收到该第一测量结果和第二测量结果之后，可以自行计算终端设备的位置，或者，第二网络设备也可以将第一测量结果和第二测量结果发送给其他网络设备，其他网络设备可以计算终端设备的位置，再将计算结果发送给第二网络设备，本申请实施例对此不做限定。应理解，第二网络设备可以为位置管理功能LMF网元，还可以为部署在基站等网络设备上的本地定位管理功能(local location management function，LLMF)；其他网络设备可以为位置测量单元(location measurement unit，LMU)或者为5G NR系统中的定位管理部件(location management component，LMC)。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备是从连接态转换至空闲态或去激活态的，这样，网络侧存储有终端设备的历史位置信息，第二网络设备可以根据存储的关于终端设备的历史位置信息，发起请求，请求对终端设备定位。
应理解，上述终端设备和第二网络设备之间的信息传输，例如位置测量请求、第一测量结果和第二测量结果的传输，可以是终端设备直接发送给第二网络设备的，也可以是终端设备通过第一网络设备以及其他网络设备发送给第二网络设备的，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述位置测量请求由第五代移动通信系统5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元发送给第二网络设备。
上述无线定位方法300可以由终端设备自行发起定位，也可以是终端设备根据网络侧的请求进行定位。示例性地，5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元可以将位置测量请求发送给第二网络设备，第二网络设备再将位置测量请求发送给终端设备。
需要说明的是，本申请仅以5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元为例进行说明，5G通信系统或其下一代移动通信系统中与5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元功能相似的网元，均术属于本申请的保护范畴。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果，计算终端设备的位置。即，在终端设备自行发起定位的情况下，终端设备还可以根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果计算自身的位置。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收第一网络设备发送的预设信息，该预设信息携带第一预设条件和预设波束列表。
如上所述，第一预设条件和预设波束列表可以是终端设备从第一网络设备发送的预设信息中获取的。可选地，该预设信息可以为系统信息，例如SSB。应理解，第一网络设备发送的预设信息中除了包括上述第一预设条件和预设波束列表之外，还可以包括其他预设条件和其他波束列表，本申请实施例对此不做限定。还应理解，第一网络设备发送的预设信息中包含的预设条件和波束列表为与第一网络设备对应的预设条件和波束列表。
示例性地，预设信息中包括第一阈值和第二阈值，终端设备可以根据该终端设备的移动情况选择对应的阈值以及预设条件，即若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，该终端设备可以选择第一阈值，进而确定第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，若终端设备远离第一网络设备移动，该终端设备可以选择第二阈值，进而确定第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中确定第一预设条件，该多个预设条件对应多种不同的业务类型，该第一预设条件与当前业务类型对应。
考虑到系统可以同时预设多个地理围栏，或者地理围栏的形状可以是变化的，即上述预设无线边界可以是多个，且预设无线边界可以变化。不同的预设无线边界对应的预设条件是不同的，不同的预设无线边界对应不同的业务类型，即不同的业务类型对应不同的预设条件。终端设备可以根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中选择与当前业务类型对应的第一预设条件。例如，幼儿园对应预设无线边界1，养老院对应预设无线边界2，工业园区对应预设无线边界3，若终端设备当前处于养老院，那么终端设备可以将养老院对应的预设条件确定为上述第一预设条件，即将预设无线边界2对应的预设条件确定为第一预设条件。又例如，针对养老院场景，需要根据手机或手环实时监控老人是否会移动出养老院，可以设置3个预设无线边界，预设无线边界A、预设无线边界B和预设无线边界C，无线边界的范围依次扩大，对应的阈值依次增大(老人靠近网络设备移动时)，或者对应的阈值依次减小(老人远离网络设备移动时)，这样，当老人越过预设无线边界A时会触发终端设备执行一级告警，当老人越过预设边界B时会触发终端设备执行二级告警，当老人越过预设边界C时会触发终端设备执行三级告警，实现对老人位置的实时监控。
可选地，上述多个预设条件可以携带在第一网络设备发送的预设信息中。
通过针对不同的业务类型设置不同的预设条件，使得本申请实施例的无线定位方法能够适用于多种不同的场景，例如设置多个形状各异，范围不同的预设地理围栏，有利于提高定位的灵活性。
为便于理解，图5以终端设备为UE，第一网络设备为gNB/ng-eNB，第二接入网设备为LMF为例，结合图2详细介绍本申请实施例的无线定位方法。
在S501中，5GC LCS实体向AMF发送定位请求，则对应地，AMF接收该定位请求。
在S502中，AMF向LMF发送定位请求，则对应地，LMF接收该定位请求。
在S503中，LMF向UE发送位置测量请求，则对应地，UE接收该位置测量请求，该UE处于空闲态或去激活态。可选地，该位置测量请求具体可以通过LPP消息发送。
在S504中，UE对服务小区的信号质量进行测量，获得第一测量结果。
在S505中，第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，UE进行波束测量，从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，该第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果。
在S506中，第一波束包含在预设列表中，UE执行随机接入，进入连接态。
在S507中，UE向gNB/ng-eNB发送告警信息，指示终端设备跨越预设边界，则对应地，gNB/ng-eNB接收该告警信息。
在S508中，UE向LMF发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果，则对应地，LMF接收该第一测量结果和第二测量结果。可选地，该第一测量结果和第二测量结果具体可以通过 LPP消息发送。
在S509中，LMF根据该第一测量结果和第二测量结果，确定UE的位置。
在S510中，LMF向AMF发送位置信息，该位置信息用于指示UE的位置，则对应地，AMF接收位置信息。
在S511中，AMF向5GC LCS实体发送该位置信息，则对应地，5GC LCS实体接收该位置信息。
关于上述S504～S507的详细描述可参考前述方法300，此处不再赘述。
应理解，上述S501～S503、S508～S511均为可选的步骤。AMF可以基于5GC LCS实体的定位请求，向LMF发送定位请求，也可以基于自身的定位需求，向LMF发送定位请求。同样地，LMF可以基于AMF的定位请求，向UE发送位置测量请求，也可以基于自身的定位需求，向UE发送位置测量请求。UE可以基于LMF发送的位置测量请求测量服务小区的信号质量，也可以基于自身的定位需求，测量服务小区的信号质量，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
图6示出了本申请实施例的另一无线定位方法600的示意性流程图。该方法600可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100，也可以应用于图2所示的通信系统200，本申请实施例不限于此。该方法包括：
S610，终端设备对服务小区的信号质量进行测量，获得第一测量结果，该终端设备处于空闲态或去激活态。
S620，若该第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，终端设备进行波束测量，从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，该第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果。
S630，若该第一波束包含在预设波束列表中，终端设备向第一网络设备发送随机接入请求，该随机接入请求携带第一前导码，该第一前导码与第一波束相关联。
方法600与方法300的区别在于，方法300通过显式指示的方式告知第一网络设备，终端设备跨越预设无线边界，而方法600将波束与用于定位的前导码进行了关联，通过隐式指示的方式告知第一网络设备，终端设备跨越预设无线边界。即在上述方法600中，终端设备可以在需要发起告警时，采用用于定位的前导码发送随机接入请求，第一网络设备接收到该用于定位的前导码，即可获知存在终端设备跨越预设无线边界。关于步骤S610和步骤S620的详细描述可以参考上述方法300中的步骤S310和步骤S320，此处不再赘述。
这样，终端设备仅需发送用于定位的前导码以发起随机接入请求，告知第一网络设备存在终端设备越界的信息，后续随机接入的相关步骤可以不执行。该终端设备后续可能随机接入成功，可能随机接入失败，本申请实施例对此不做限定，对本申请提供的无线定位方法不产生影响。因此，本申请实施例的无线定位方法，处于空闲态或去激活态的终端设备可以在还未进入随机接入连接态的情况下，隐式地向网络设备进行告警，该方法有利于减小终端设备的信令开销以及终端设备的功耗，从而提升设备和系统性能。
应理解，本申请实施例中的第一前导码是与第一波束相关联的用于定位的前导码。第一网络设备在接收到第一前导码之后，可以能够根据识别该第一前导码是用于定位的前导码，确定出存在终端设备跨越预设无线边界。但是，第一网络设备并无法判断具体是哪个终端设备跨越预设无线边界的。
可选地，在后续随机接入过程中，终端设备可以将该终端设备的标识(ID)发送给第一网络设备，使得该第一网络设备可以识别出跨越预设无线边界的设备是该终端设备。
可选地，上述用于定位的第一前导码可以是在已有的前导码中增加或减少部分比特，或者，第一前导码携带特殊的标识。其中，增加或减少的部分比特，或特殊的标识用于指示第一波束。
作为一个可选的实施例，若终端设备靠近第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果大于或等于第一阈值，预设波束列表为第一预设波束列表；或者，若终端设备远离第一网络设备移动，第一预设条件为第一测量结果小于或等于第二阈值，预设波束列表为第二预设波束列表。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的位置测量请求；终端设备根据该位置测量请求，向第二网络设备发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述位置测量请求由第五代移动通信系统5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元发送给第二网络设备。需要说明的是，本申请仅以5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元为例进行说明，5G通信系统或其下一代移动通信系统中与5G网关或接入及移动性管理功能AMF网元功能相似的网元，均术属于本申请的保护范畴。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据第一测量结果和第二测量结果，计算终端设备的位置。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备接收第一网络设备发送的预设信息，该预设信息携带该第一预设条件和该预设波束列表。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述无线定位方法还包括：终端设备根据当前业务类型，从多个预设条件中确定第一预设条件，该多个预设条件对应多种不同的业务类型，该第一预设条件与当前业务类型对应。
作为一个可选的实施例，上述随机接入请求包含在基于竞争的随机接入中，或者，上述随机接入请求包含在两步随机接入中。
关于方法600的其他可扩展实施例均可以参考上述方法300中的相应描述，此处不再赘述。
为便于理解，图7以终端设备为UE，第一网络设备为gNB/ng-eNB，第二接入网设备为LMF为例，结合图2详细介绍本申请实施例的另一无线定位方法。
在S701中，5GC LCS实体向AMF发送定位请求，则对应地，AMF接收该定位请求。
在S702中，AMF向LMF发送定位请求，则对应地，LMF接收该定位请求。
在S703中，LMF向UE发送位置测量请求，则对应地，UE接收该位置测量请求，该UE处于空闲态或去激活态。可选地，该位置测量请求具体可以通过LPP消息发送。
在S704中，UE对服务小区的信号质量进行测量，获得第一测量结果。
在S705中，第一测量结果满足第一预设条件，UE进行波束测量，从波束测量结果中确定第二测量结果，该第二测量结果用于指示第一波束的测量结果。
在S706中，第一波束包含在预设列表中，UE向gNB/ng-eNB发送随机接入请求，该随机接入请求携带第一前导码，该第一前导码与第一波束相关联。则对应地，gNB/ng-eNB 接收该随机接入请求，gNB/ng-eNB根据该随机接入请求中的第一前导码，即可确定有终端设备即将跨越预设边界。
在S707中，UE执行后续一系列随机接入的流程，进入连接态。
在S708中，UE向LMF发送第一测量结果和第二测量结果，则对应地，LMF接收该第一测量结果和第二测量结果。可选地，该第一测量结果和第二测量结果具体可以通过LPP消息发送。
在S709中，LMF根据该第一测量结果和第二测量结果，确定UE的位置。
在S710中，LMF向AMF发送位置信息，该位置信息用于指示UE的位置，则对应地，AMF接收位置信息。
在S711中，AMF向5GC LCS实体发送该位置信息，则对应地，5GC LCS实体接收该位置信息。
关于上述S704～S707的详细描述可参考前述方法600，此处不再赘述。
应理解，上述S701～S703、S708～S711均为可选的步骤。AMF可以基于5GC LCS实体的定位请求，向LMF发送定位请求，也可以基于自身的定位需求，向LMF发送定位请求。同样地，LMF可以基于AMF的定位请求，向UE发送位置测量请求，也可以基于自身的定位需求，向UE发送位置测量请求。UE可以基于LMF发送的位置测量请求测量服务小区的信号质量，也可以基于自身的定位需求，测量服务小区的信号质量，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
