测量间隔配置请求方法、装置、终端及网络侧设备
交叉引用
本发明要求在2020年07月06日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010642004.5、发明名称为“测量间隔配置请求方法、装置、终端及网络侧设备”的中国专利申请的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本发明中。
技术领域
本申请属于无线通信技术领域，具体涉及一种测量间隔配置请求方法、装置、终端及网络侧设备。
背景技术
以新空口(NewRadio，NR)通信系统的NR定位为例，通过引入定位参考信号(Positioning Reference Signals，PRS)以用于用户终端(User Equipment，UE)进行定位测量。在实际测量过程中，UE需要测量多个小区广播发送的PRS，但由于为了保证高精度的定位测量，网络侧设备会配置较大带宽的PRS，导致有时会超出UE当前工作的激活(active)带宽部分(Bandwidth Part，BWP)的范围，因此，为了UE测量active BWP外的PRS，NR通信系统允许UE使用测量间隔(measurement gap)测量active BWP外的PRS。
当UE期望去测量active BWP外的PRS或者与active BWP参数集合(numerology)不同的PRS，UE可以向基站(gNB)发送测量间隔请求，以请求基站为其配置测量间隔，基站可根据自身情况确定是否为UE配置测量间隔。
但是，在相关技术中，决定是否为UE配置测量间隔是基站自身的行为， UE并不清楚基站是否配置测量间隔，从而无法确定测量PRS的带宽。

另外，所述下行定位参考信号测量可以是常规的测量，也可以是按需(on demand)测量。相应的，后续实施例中提到的下行定位参考信号配置可以是常规配置，也可以是按需配置；参与定位测量的定位基站可以是常规定位中参与定位的基站，也可以是按需定位中参与定位的基站；所述位置服务器可以是确定常规下行定位参考信号配置的网络节点/设备，也可以是确定按需下行定位参考信号配置的网络节点/设备，本实施例对此不做限制。
实际应用中，所述位置服务器向所述基站发送测量间隔请求时可以是直接或间接发送，例如，所述位置服务器可以只通过一条信令将测量间隔请求直接传输给所述基站，如信令LPPa等；又例如，所述位置服务器也可以通过多个节点间的多条信令将测量间隔请求传输给所述基站，如所述位置服务器可以先将所述测量间隔请求发送给所述终端，再由所述终端转发给所述基站等，本实施例对此不做限制。相应的，所述基站向所述位置服务器发送S220 中所述的反馈信息时，也可以是直接或间接发送等，具体可参照前述位置服务器向所述基站发送测量间隔请求的过程。
可以理解的是，在本申请给出的实施例中，所述位置服务器是确定所述下行定位参考信号配置的网络节点，所述基站是指当前为终端提供服务的基站。此外，S210中所述的基站接收到的所述终端发送的测量间隔请求可以是所述终端自主发送的，也可以是转发所述位置服务器对应的测量间隔请求，本实施例对此不做限制。
S220，根据所述测量间隔请求，执行以下至少一项：配置用于下行定位参考信号测量的测量间隔，以及，向所述终端和/或所述位置服务器发送反馈信息。
其中，所述反馈信息用于指示所述基站是否配置用于下行定位参考信号测量的测量间隔。实际应用中，如果所述基站配置所述测量间隔，则所述基站可在配置所述测量间隔后，发送所述测量间隔配置给所述终端和/或位置服务器，由此，终端可以根据测量间隔执行定位参考信号的测量，或者位置服务器根据该反馈确认定位参考信号的配置不需调整，以执行下一步定位步骤。当然，所述基站还可根据实际需求确定是否发送用于指示所述基站配置所述测量间隔的反馈信息给所述终端和/或位置服务器，比如若支持配置所述测量间隔，不反馈信息，隐式地表示测量间隔被支持/配置等。
实际应用中，所述基站可在发送所述反馈信息之后，配置所述测量间隔；或，在所述测量间隔请求指示的所述测量间隔的开始时间后，配置所述测量间隔，具体可根据实际需求进行设定。
所述基站在配置所述测量间隔之后，且在满足预定条件的情况下，停止所述测量间隔；其中，所述预定条件可以包括以下(1)至(3)中至少之一。
(1)接收到测量间隔停止信令。其中，所述测量间隔停止信令可以是所述终端或所述位置服务器或其他网络节点发送的。
(2)在所述测量间隔请求包括所述测量间隔的生效持续时间的情况下， 所述测量间隔的当前生效时间达到所述间隔生效持续时间。
(3)在所述测量间隔请求包括所述测量间隔的截止时间的情况下，当前时间到达所述测量间隔的截止时间。
在本申请中，测量间隔请求可以指示基站向终端和/或位置服务器反馈是否能配置用于下行定位参考信号测量的测量间隔，从而使得基站在根据自身情况确定是否配置所述测量间隔时，反馈是否配置所述测量间隔。
或者，终端和/或位置服务器也可以不通过测量间隔请求指示基站反馈是否能配置所述测量间隔，而是基站主动反馈是否配置所述测量间隔。
如果基站向终端反馈是否能配置所述测量间隔，则终端可以根据该反馈，确定是在activeDL BWP上进行下行定位参考信号的测量，还是在测量间隔中执行下行定位参考信号的测量。如果基站向位置服务器反馈是否能配置所述测量间隔，则位置服务器可以根据该反馈，确定下行定位参考信号的配置如带宽，进而通知参与定位的其它定位基站，以避免参与定位的多个定位基站按照之前的配置发送较大带宽或开销的下行定位参考信号，从而造成下行定位参考信号资源的浪费的问题。
需要说明的是，与前述S210类似，所述基站向所述位置服务器发送所述反馈消息和/测量间隔配置时，可以是直接或间接发送，本实施例对此不做限制。
在本实施例给出的前述测量间隔配置请求方法200中，基站通过接收终端或/和位置服务器发送的测量间隔请求，能够判断是否配置测量间隔的同时，还可反馈指示是否配置测量间隔的反馈信息给所述终端或/和基站，最终使得所述位置服务器能够了解所述基站对所述测量间隔的配置情况，从而避免参与定位的多个定位基站仍然按照之前较大带宽或开销的配置发送下行定位参考信号而可能造成资源浪费等问题，确保下行定位参考信号测量的顺利进行。

(3)间隔请求：用于向所述基站指示所述终端将使用所述测量间隔进行下行定位参考信号的测量。
(4)测量频点信息：用于指示所述终端使用所述测量间隔执行下行定位参考信号测量时的频点信息。例如，所述测量频点信息可以是但不限于绝对频点位置信息等。
(5)请求的测量间隔配置信息：用于实现下行定位参考信号的测量。可选地，所述测量间隔配置信息至少可以包括间隔模式标识(gap pattern ID)、间隔偏移量(gap offset)、间隔周期(gap period,)、间隔持续时间(,gap duration)、间隔定时提前(gap TA)中的至少一个。

(6)所述测量间隔的开始时间：该测量间隔的开始时间是指所述测量间隔在某个时间点或某个时间点之后开始生效，例如，对于on demand PRS配置来说，所述位置服务器会配置on demand PRS生效时间，为了匹配on demand PRS生效时间，所述位置服务器可以向所述基站指示测量间隔的生效 时间，如测量间隔的开始生效时间、测量间隔的生效持续时间、测量间隔的截止时间等。

(10)优先级信息(也即重要程度)，用于指示在所述测量间隔中进行下行定位参考信号的测量或位置服务的优先级，以辅助所述基站确认是否配置所述测量间隔以及如何执行后续行为。例如，在所述测量间隔中执行下行定位参考信号测量的优先级为高，则所述基站将中断如物理下行共享信道 (Physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)等其他业务，并配置测量间隔以用于下行定位参考信号测量。实际应用中，所述优先级(或重要程度)可以分多个等级(如0,1,2,3…，0代表最高等级)，所述终端或所述位置服务器可以指示优先级(或重要程度)为前述多个等级中的任一种。
需要说明的是，在所述测量间隔中执行下行定位参考信号测量的优先级(或重要程度)可以由所述位置服务器指示或所述终端确定或预配置或协议约定，例如，在由所述终端确定时，所述终端可根据接收到的如QoS等定位请求信息确定，本实施例对此不做限制。

作为一种实现方式，在所述基站确定不配置所述测量间隔的情况下，所述基站可将终端当前active DL BWP切换至目标BWP，如新的BWP或定位BWP上，或者基站直接激活目标BWP，如新的BWP或定位BWP。其中，所述定位BWP为专用于定位的BWP。
需要说明的是，所述测量间隔请求中可包括前述一种或多种的组合，也可以包括除前述十一种信息之外的其他信息等，本实施例对此不做限制。
此外，由于所述终端可以为每个Frequency Layer请求对应的测量间隔，因此每个Frequency Layer可以对应一组参数，每组参数至少可以包括间隔确认信息、间隔反馈信息、间隔请求、测量频点信息、请求的测量间隔配置信息、所述测量间隔的开始时间、测量间隔的截止时间、测量间隔的生效持续时间、下行定位参考信号的至少部分配置信息、优先级信息、带宽部分BWP激活信息等，其中，所述间隔确认信息、间隔反馈信息、间隔请求、所述测量间隔的开始时间、测量间隔的截止时间、测量间隔的生效持续时间、优先级信息、带宽部分BWP激活信息可以是针对每个Frequency Layer配置，也可以是多个Frequency Layer的公共参数，本实施例对此不做限制。
在上述可能的实现方式中，终端或位置服务器通过向基站交互更多有用信息，从而使得基站可以获知更多有用信息，提高基站配置所述测量间隔的可能性，避免定位服务由于测量间隔的配置问题而达不到要求。

需要说明的是，前述的当前服务小区间隔不被支持是指：对于同属于一个基站下的多个终端，且所述多个终端均向所述基站请求所述测量间隔配置被拒绝，那么所述基站可向所述位置服务器或/和所述终端反馈包含当前服务小区间隔不被支持这一信息。
S3202，若配置所述测量间隔，则向所述终端和/或所述位置服务器发送所述反馈信息。
其中，所述反馈信息指示所述基站配置所述测量间隔。可选地，所述反馈信息中可以包括所述基站配置的所述测量间隔的配置信息等，本实施例对此不做限制。

需要说明的是，关于所述测量间隔请求中包括的前述信息的详细内容可参照前述S310中的详细描述，本实施例在此不再赘述。
S530，接收所述基站发送的反馈信息，和/或，接收所述终端转发的反馈信息。
其中，所述反馈信息用于指示所述基站是否配置所述测量间隔。可选地，若所述位置服务器接收到的所述反馈信息指示所述基站不配置所述测量间隔，则所述反馈信息可包括以下至少一项：

应注意，更新下行定位参考信号配置信息，可以是恢复测量间隔请求被拒绝前的PositioningFrequency Layer的配置。相应的，所述位置服务器向所述终端和/或参与定位服务的基站下发PRS配置，可以是下发恢复得到的之前的Frequency Layer的配置。
实际应用中，以所述下行定位参考信号为PRS为例，确定新的下行定位参考信号配置信息可以包括：根据所述反馈信息增加或减少或改变PRS配置，包含但不限于PRS带宽、增加PRS周期(duration)、减小PRS周期、增加Frequency Layer等至少一种，从而匹配所述基站的要求。或者，确定新的下行定位参考信号配置信息还可以包括：将当前的基于需求(on demand)的下行参考信号配置恢复为常规下行参考信号配置、将为on demand定位修改的参考信号配置恢复为修改前的常规配置(比如，on demand定位在原来PRS配置的基础上增加了PRS带宽，那么，可将增加带宽后终端需要请求测量间隔执行PRS测量，但是该测量间隔被基站拒绝，此时位置服务器可以将on  demand PRS修改的带宽恢复为修改前的常规带宽)，本实施例对此不做限制。这里，前述的新的下行定位参考信号配置，也可以理解为更新的、修改的、恢复的等等。可选的，在一些情况下，常规配置可意味着不发定位参考信号。
此外，所述位置服务器在确定新的下行定位参考信号配置信息的同时，还可确定参与定位服务且位于所述终端周边的一个或多个定位基站。
(2)发送所述新的下行定位参考信号配置信息至所述终端和/或参与下行定位参考信号定位服务的定位基站。

应注意，在常规下行参考信号配置场景下，所述位置服务器可不下发常规下行参考信号配置给所述终端或定位基站。
(3)调整预设定位需求和/或所述终端的性能指标，并将调整后的定位需求和/或所述终端的性能指标发送给上层网络节点。
其中，所述上层网络节点可以是核心网节点等，本实施例对此不做限制。
(4)向所述上层网络节点发送无法达到预设定位需求的指示信息及无法达到预设定位需求的原因。

S610，接收针对所述终端的基于需求的定位请求。
其中，本实施例中采用基于需求的定位请求，能够针对一个或多个终端的定位需求，灵活地增加或减少下行定位参考信号配置。例如，如果预部署的下行定位参考信号为带宽较小的下行定位参考信号，而对于某个定位精度要求较高的终端，可通过信令为该终端配置专门的带宽较大的下行定位参考信号，由此，在满足具有较高定位精度要求的终端的同时，还可避免了由于部分对定位精度要求不高的终端，可能出现的资源浪费问题，有效的满足了不同终端的定位需求。
实际应用中，所述定位请求还可以是由核心网节点或其他网络节点发送。同时，除了基于需求的定位请求之外，还可以是常规的定位请求，具体可参照前述S210中的描述，本实施例对此不做限制。

可选地，所述BWP配置信息至少包含一个或多个载波(载波也可以理解为服务小区)内的激活(active)和/或未激活的DL BWP配置信息(如包含但不限于频域位置、带宽、BWP计时器、BWP标识、子载波间隔等等至少之一)、及BWP所在的载波的配置信息(如包含但不限于载波频域位置、带宽、标识等信息中至少一种)，本实施例对此不做限制。
S650，向终端发送预设信令。
其中，S650的相关描述可参照前述S510的详细描述，本实施例在此不再赘述。
S660，接收所述终端返回的反馈指示。

实际应用中，若所述反馈指示指示所述终端请求了所述测量间隔，则所述位置服务器可等待所述终端或所述基站反馈是否配置了所述测量间隔的反馈信令，并根据反馈信令确定执行后续操作。反之，若所述反馈指示指示所述终端未请求所述测量间隔，则位置服务器正常执行后续的定位步骤即可(不请求测量间隔的情况下，位置服务器可以假设基于当前的PRS配置，终端可以满足测量精度要求)。
此外，若所述位置服务器未接收到所述反馈指示，可判定所述终端未请 求所述测量间隔，或所述终端不需要所述测量间隔配置，具体可根据实际需求进行设定。
可选的，所述反馈指示还可包含终端是否需要请求测量间隔和/或终端期望的测量间隔配置。若终端反馈需要请求测量间隔，位置服务器可以执行S670中的相关步骤。
S670，向所述终端的基站发送测量间隔请求。
其中，关于S670的相关描述可参照前述S520的详细描述，本实施例在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是，在前述给出的测量间隔配置请求方法600中，所述位置服务器执行测量间隔配置请求的过程可以是但不限于前述S610-S670中的顺序，且所述执行测量间隔配置请求的过程可以具有比前述更多或更少的步骤，例如，所述位置服务器在执行S650之前，可以执行下述至少一项：

(2)基于所述终端的能力信息和/或基于需求的定位请求，确定所述终端的当前下行定位参考信号配置信息。
(3)确定所述终端测量目标定位服务需要的所述测量间隔配置。
