Description

一种位置信息发送方法、装置、设备及存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种位置信息发送方法、装置、设备及存储介质。
背景技术
在5G NR中，对于空闲态用户终端(UE)和非激活态UE，当网络有数据需要发送给UE时，为了网络能够寻呼到UE，从而将数据发送给UE，引入了注册区域(Registration Area，RA)的概念。其中，注册区域定义为跟踪区域(Tracking Area，TA)的集合，每个TA包括一个或多个小区，对应某个地理区域。
具体的，每个TA通过TA标识(TAI)来确定，TAI包括PLMN和跟踪区域码(Tracking Area Code，TAC)。网络通过系统消息广播的方式将PLMN和TAC发送给UE。通过网络可为UE配置多个TA，即网络给UE配置了一个TAI列表(TAI List)。
当UE从TA1移动到TA2时，如果TA2不在网络给UE配置的TAI List中，则UE需要发起跟踪区域更新(TAU)和/或注册区域更新(RAU)，从而触发网络给UE配置新的TAI List，以保证网络能够跟踪到UE。
另外，网络也会广播全球小区识别(Global Cell Identity，GCI)。UE在接入网络(attach/re-attach)、TAU等过程中会向网络发送其通过系统消息收到的TAC和/或GCI。
对于NTN网络，其覆盖范围大。在不同国家的交界处，可能一个NTN小区就能够覆盖多个国家。那么如果UE只上报TAC和/或GCI，则NTN网络不能够根据其上报的TAC和/或GCI确定UE所处的国家，从而NTN网络不能选择合适的接入策略，例如是否允许用户接入、选择合适的核心网(不同国家的用户使用其对应国家的核心网)等。因此，UE除了上报TAC/GCI，还可以上报一些UE的位置信息，网络根据UE的位置信息确定UE所处的国家，进而确定合适的策略。
但是，当UE没有位于不同的国家交界处时，网络根据UE上报的GCI和/或TAC则可以确定UE所在的国家，此时UE上报其位置信息的操作就不必要了，徒增了UE的功耗和信令开销。
