下面首先对本申请的技术方案相关的技术内容进行说明。
1、RRC空闲态(Idle态)、RRC非激活态(Inactive态)和RRC连接态(connected态)
为了方便说明,RRC空闲态在下文中简称为空闲态,RRC非激活态在下 文中简称为非激活态,RRC连接态在下文中简称为连接态。
处于空闲态的UE,在网络侧设备没有RRC上下文,也就是说网络侧设备与UE之间通信所必须的参数不属于某个特定的小区,网络侧设备也不知道是否存在该UE。UE被分配了一组跟踪区标识(Tracking area identifier,TAI)。从核心网的角度来看,无线接入网(Access Network,RAN)侧与核心网的连接已断开。为了减少耗电,UE在大部分时间处于休眠状态,因此无法进行数据传输。在下行链路中,处于空闲态的UE可周期性地唤醒以从网络接收寻呼消息(如果有的话)。移动性(Mobility)可由UE进行小区重选来处理。在空闲态,UE与网络侧设备不会保持上行同步,如果要从空闲态转入连接态,只能通过随机接入(Random Access),在UE与网络侧设备建立RRC上下文。
在连接态,可建立RRC上下文,且通信所需的所有参数对于两个实体(UE与网络侧设备)都是已知的。从核心网的角度来看,UE处于核心网连接(CN_Connected)状态。UE所属的小区是已知的,并且已经配置了用于UE和网络侧设备之间的传输信令目的设备标识,即小区无线网络临时标识符(Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI)。在连接态,移动性(Mobility)可由网络侧设备控制,即UE向网络侧设备提供邻小区测量,网络侧设备命令UE进行切换(handover)。上行时间同步可能存在也可能不存在,当有数据要传输时,可通过使用随机接入去建立上行同步。
在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)中,仅支持空闲态和连接态。实际中的常见情况是使用空闲态作为UE的主要睡眠状态来省电。然而,由于在一些情况下常常存在小数据包的频繁传输,如果按照LTE方式,会存在大量的空闲态到连接态的转换。这些转换增加了信令负载和信令延时。因此,为了减少信令负载和等待时间,在新无线(New Radio,NR)中引入了非激活态。
在非激活态,保持了网络侧设备与UE侧的RRC上下文。从核心网的角度来看,RAN侧与核心网的连接处于状态。因此从非激活态转换到连接态的速度很快,且不需要核心网信令。同时,允许UE以空闲态类似的方式休眠, 并且通过小区重选来处理移动性。因此,非激活态可以被视为空闲态和连接态的混合。
请参考图2,图2为空闲态、非激活态和连接态三种状态之间的关系示意图,可以看出,不同状态之间的一个重要区别是所涉及的移动性机制(mobility)。高效的移动性处理是任何移动通信系统的关键部分。对于空闲态和非激活态,移动性由UE通过小区重选来处理,而对于连接态,移动性由网络侧设备基于UE测量来处理。
对于空闲态和非激活态的UE,两者之间共同点在于都有公共陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)选择、小区选择和重选、系统消息接收功能;差异点包含以下几个部分:(1)由于空闲态下核心网只知道UE所在的跟踪区(Tracking Area,TA),但是不知道具体的主小区标识(pcell id),所以会在跟踪区或跟踪区列表(list)下发寻呼,然而对于非激活态,NG-RAN知道UE属于哪个RNA,所以只会在RNA区域寻呼UE;(2)UE接入层(AS)上下文在非激活态下保存在UE和NG-RNA中;(3)UE在非激活态下保存控制面下的非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令连接和用户面5GC-NG-RAN连接。
对于非激活态和连接态的UE,它们之间的共同点在于:(1)UE接入层上下文在非激活态下保存在UE和NG-RNA中;(2)控制面和用户面的连接已经建立,所以通常核心网认为UE处于连接态;两者差异性在于:(1)连接态下NG-RAN知道UE所在的服务小区,但是对于非激活态NG-RAN知道UE属于哪个RNA,所以只会在RNA区域寻呼UE;(2)非激活态下UE具有PLMN搜网,小区重选和系统消息接收功能;(3)连接态下UE具有上下行通道传输和移动性功能(切换)。
UE从非激活态进入到连接态的场景包括:上行有数据待发;非接入层有信令流程发起;RAN寻呼响应;通知网络已经离开RAN通知区域(notification area);周期性RAN通知区域更新定时器(notification area update timer)超时。
2、连接态的上行定位参考信号(SRS)
信道探测用参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)的时域类型包括周期、非周期和半静态。
对于每种SRS资源(resource)配置,包括comb2,comb4,comb8的SRS配置,其中comb数是指频域上相邻的两个SRS资源之间的子载波间隔数,其中,对应的最大循环移位(cyclic shift)分别是8,12,6。SRS资源配置还包括SRS资源的符号数和起始的符号。对于非周期SRS,SRS资源配置包括时隙偏移(slot offset),对于半静态和周期SRS,SRS资源配置包括周期和时隙偏移,周期单位为时隙。另外,SRS资源配置还包括SRS的空间关系SRS-SpatialRelationInfoPos,空间关系的参考信号可以是服务小区的同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,SSB),信道状态信息参考信号(channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)和SRS,邻区的SSB和下行定位参考信号(Positioning Reference Signal,PRS)。
SRS资源配置可以参考如下:

Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000005
3、定时提前(Timing Advance,TA)
定时提前用于UE上行传输,是指UE发送上行数据的系统帧相比对应的下行帧要提前一定的时间,具体的提前量由基站根据UE发送的随机接入前导码(preamble)计算,然后再通过定时提前命令(Timing Advance Command,TAC)通知给UE。
如图3所示,N TA是UE在定时提前命令中解析出来的量,N TA,offset通过参数n-TimingAdvanceOffset通知UE,如果UE未收到该参数,则使用一个预设值,该预设值是与复用模式和频率范围有关的固定值,具体数值如表1所示:
表1 N TA offset的值
Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000006
Figure PCTCN2022083018-appb-000007
在随机接入中,基站通过测量接收到的前导码来确定定时提前值,并通过随机接入反馈(Rach access response,RAR)中的Timing Advance Command(TAC)发送给UE。Timing Advance Command共12个bits,指示范围为:T A=0,1,2,…,3846。子载波间隔为2^u*15kHz时,N TA通过下式确定:N TA=T A·16·64/2 μ
也就是说在NR中,N TA还与子载波间隔有关,该子载波间隔取决于收到RAR后的第一个上行传输,即Msg3的子载波间隔。
虽然在随机接入中UE完成了定时提前,但是UE的位置等可能会随着时间变化,所以基站需要不断维护定时提前。对于其他情况,TAC的指示范围是:T A=0,1,2,…,63。N TA通过下式确定:N TA_new=N TA_old+(T A-31)·16· 64/2 μ。其中,N TA_old是收到TAC之前使用的N TA,N TA_new是收到TAC后更新后的N TA
4、4步随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,RACH)和2步RACH
1)4步随机接入过程包括:基于竞争的随机接入过程(四步随机接入(4-step RACH))和基于非竞争的随机接入过程.
对于“基于竞争的随机接入过程”,UE发送Msg1(随机接入请求)给网络侧设备。网络侧设备接收到Msg1后给UE发送Msg2(随机接入响应RAR)消息给UE,该消息中携带了上行授权(uplink grant)信息。UE根据Msg2中的uplink grant,发送Msg3。网络侧设备接收到Msg3后发送Msg4(如,竞争解决标识)给UE。UE接收到Msg4判断是否竞争解决成功,如果成功则随机接入过程成功过,否则重新发起随机接入过程。
对于“基于非竞争的随机接入过程”,网络侧设备为UE分配专用的RACH资源进行接入,UE在专用资源上发送Msg1(随机接入请求)给网络侧设备,网络侧设备接收到Msg1后给UE发送Msg2(随机接入响应RAR)消息给UE。但当专用的RACH资源不足时,网络侧设备会指示UE发起基于竞争的RA。
2)2步RACH
请参考图4,2步RACH包括以下步骤:
步骤0:网络侧设备给UE配置2步RACH的配置信息,如包括:MsgA和MsgB对应的发送资源信息。
步骤1:UE触发2步RACH过程。将请求信息(MsgA)发送给网络侧设备,如通过物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)发送。同时UE也可能会发送物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,PRACH)信息给网络侧设备。
步骤2:网络侧设备发送确认信息(MsgB)给UE。如果UE接收MsgB失败,则UE重新发送MsgA。
5、上行定位过程
如图5所示,上行定位过程包括以下步骤:
步骤0:LMF和gNB/TRP交换配置信息;
步骤1:LMF和UE交互能力信息;
步骤2:LMF向gNB/TRP发送NR定位协议A(NRPPa)定位信息请求(Positioning information request);
步骤3-3a:gNB/TRP决定上行SRS资源并向UE发送SRS配置;
步骤4:gNB/TRP向LMF发送NRPPa定位响应;
步骤5a:LMF向gNB/TRP发送NRPPa定位激活请求;
步骤5b:gNB/TRP激活UE SRS传输;
步骤5c:gNB/TRP向LMF发送NRPPa定位激活响应;
步骤6:LMF向gNB/TRP发送NRPPa测量请求;
步骤7:gNB/TRP进行UL SRS测量;
步骤8:gNB/TRP向LMF发送NRPPa测量响应。
6、小数据传输(Small Data Transmission,SDT)
根据网络侧设备配置的资源,UE在空闲态或非激活态时,可以通过以下方法将数据直接发送给网络侧设备:
1)初始接入的4步随机接入过程的Msg3。
2)初始接入的2步随机接入过程的MsgA。
3)网络配置的专属上行PUSCH资源(即,预配置(pre-configured)PUSCH;或,预分配上行资源(Preallocated Uplink Resource,PUR))。
网络侧设备可以通过以下方式将数据直接发送给UE:
1)初始接入的4步随机接入过程的Msg4。
2)初始接入的2步随机接入过程的MsgB。
3)网络配置的专属上行资源对应的下行反馈资源。
7、按需(On-demand)PRS
R-16协议中并没有引入按需PRS,PRS发送以广播的形式发送,PRS配置相对固定,不支持灵活地更改PRS配置,这可能会造成一些资源的浪费。 例如,网络设备在某个区域内配置了128个TRP发送带宽较大的PRS,而在这个区域内,只有一部分UE的定位精度要求较高,或者只有一部分UE有定位需求,那么为了这一部分UE而使得整个区域内覆盖大带宽的PRS是不值得的。又比如,为了减少开销,某区域内配置了带宽较小的PRS,而其中一些UE有较强的定位精度、时延需求或功耗需求,现有协议无法支持灵活地配置满足这些UE需求的PRS。
从第三代合作计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)Rel-16起,引入按需PRS,专门针对某个或某些UE的定位需求,灵活增加或减少PRS配置。比如一种简单的示例,将按需PRS配置设置为多个PRS配置参数集(包含周期,带宽,频点等等),在不需要时关闭某些PRS参数集的传输,在需要时打开某些PRS的传输。
R-17阶段,已经确定将按需PRS作为标准化的一部分。
下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的定位方法、终端及网络侧设备进行详细地说明。
请参考图6,本申请实施例提供一种定位方法,包括:
步骤61:终端在空闲态或非激活态执行定位操作,其中,执行定位操作包括以下至少之一:
接收并测量下行定位参考信号;
上报位置相关信息;
发送上行定位参考信号。
可选的,位置相关信息包含但不限于以下至少之一:位置信息,定位测量结果,事件信息,RRM测量结果,下行定位测量结果和/或上行定位参考信号与时间误差组的关联关系等。事件信息包含但不限于以下至少之一:区域事件和动作事件等。区域事件是指UE检测到自己进入、离开或位于指定目标区域范围(如区域小区list/RNA/TAC)。动作事件是指UE检测到自己由之前的位置移动超过某个预定义的线性距离。
本申请实施例中,利用非激活态或空闲态低能耗的特点,开发定位功能, 保障定位性能和低功耗。
本申请实施例中,利用非激活态或空闲态低能耗的特点,开发定位功能,保障定位性能和低功耗。
PRS可以认为是一个小区级或者区域级的公共信号,不管连接态UE还是非连接态(空闲态或非激活态)的UE,都可以在同一个区域内共享相同的PRS。Rel-17阶段,已经确定会引入按需PRS,LMF可以根据UE或者自身的需求,开启、关闭或更新PRS的配置信息。而按需PRS的开启/关闭/更新也会对空闲态或非激活态的UE接收PRS产生影响。一般来说,UE可以通过广播或者单播(如通过RRC释放信令)的方式获取空闲态或非激活态的PRS配置信息。若网络根据需要改变PRS的配置信息时,比如关闭PRS的配置信息,如果不及时通知空闲态或非激活态的UE,UE还会在原PRS配置的时间‘醒来’,对PRS进行搜索和监听,这就会导致白白的功率消耗。因此,如何向空闲态或非激活态UE通知PRS的配置信息的开启、关闭或更新,或者PRS的可用性(availability)是需要解决的问题。
为解决上述问题,本申请给出了一种不通过系统信息变更,通知终端定位参考信号配置变更的方法,该方法包括:网络侧设备发起的定位参考信号的配置更新,和/或,UE发起的定位参考信号的配置更新的方法,下面将分别进行说明。
1、网络侧设备发起的定位参考信号的配置更新

1)定位参考信号的可用性信息或者所述定位参考信号的配置信息的可用性信息;
可用性(availablility),也可以表示为定位参考信号(或定位参考信号的配置信息)的开启或关闭信息。
2)定位参考信号的配置信息(配置信息又可以称为辅助信息)的更新信息;
配置信息包括以下至少之一:空间关系配置和路损配置等。
其中,所述定位参考信号包括以下至少之一:所述上行定位参考信号和所述下行定位参考信号。可选的,所述定位参考信号包括以下至少之一:PRS,上行定位参考信号(SRS for positioning),CSI-RS,TRS,SSB,preamble等。
本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可根据以下条件中的至少之一判断是否发起的定位参考信号配置更新:
按需PRS使得配置更新;

其中,所述第三指示信息用于指示定位参考信号的配置信息需要更新,所述定位参考信号包括上行定位参考信号和下行定位参考信号中的至少之一。
可选的,终端发起随机接入进入连接态或发送第三指示信息中,可携带上述原因。
可选的,UE无法发送上行定位参考信号,和/或测量下行定位参考信号,和/或UE上报位置相关信息的原因如下:
与寻呼,随机接入消息,系统消息,SSB等碰撞,SRS,PRS或定位信息被drop或者忽略;
IDRX配置改变,导致UE发送上行定位参考信号,测量下行定位参考信号或上报定位位置相关信息的行为改变。
可选的,UE指示驻留小区变化至服务gNB(或驻留gNB)和/或位置服务器。再由服务gNB(或驻留gNB)和/或位置服务器发送至参与定位的其他gNB。
本申请实施例中,可选的,终端在空闲态或非激活态执行定位操作还包括以下至少之一:
若待发送的上行定位参考信号的时域位置距离寻呼时机超过距离X(或 者超过一个时间窗X的范围),所述终端忽略所述待发送的上行定位参考信号;
若下行定位参考信号的时域位置距离寻呼时机超过距离X,所述终端忽略所述下行定位参考信号的测量;
若位置相关信息上报的时域位置距离寻呼时机超过距离X,所述终端忽略所述位置相关信息的上报;
若待发送的上行定位参考信号的时域位置距离所述下行定位参考信号的时域位置超过距离X,所述终端忽略所述待发送的上行定位参考信号。
可选的,所述X由网络侧设备指示、协议约定或所述终端选择。
可选的,X的单位可以是ms,s,时隙(slot)。
可选的,X与IDRX周期有关,比如IDRX周期的一半等等。
可选的,所述寻呼时机为驻留小区的寻呼时机。
RNA区域(或RAN跟踪区或定位信号配置生效区域)内的gNB可提前将IDRX配置信息发送至位置服务器。其中,IDRX配置信息包含但不限于:IDRX周期、寻呼时机位置、寻呼帧位置、UE的国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI)等。
gNB发送上述信息前,接收位置服务器的请求,请求上述IDRX配置信息。
位置服务器获取IDRX配置信息的作用如下:
1)辅助位置服务器确定定位的辅助信息,如PRS配置,使得PRS配置与IDRX配置更匹配一些,以节省功耗;
2)UE在切换驻留小区后,IDRX配置发生改变,会导致UE发送上行定位参考信号,测量下行定位参考信号或上报位置相关信息的行为改变。网络侧设备如果提前得知IDRX配置,那么网络侧设备一旦知道UE切换了驻留小区,那么就可以预知UE发送上行定位参考信号,测量下行定位参考信号或上报位置相关信息的行为如何改变。
比如,由于驻留小区切换导致某些SRS时机无法发送,那么位置服务 器就可以通知邻区gNB,释放某些位置的SRS资源,减少资源浪费。或者,驻留小区切换导致某些SRS时机可以发送SRS,那么位置服务器就可以通知邻区gNB,在特定的位置接收这些SRS时机。
进一步的,在下行和上行定位中,UE在发送上行定位参考信号时,上行定位参考信号的空间波束关系(spatial relation),与下行定位参考信号有关。即UE可以使用接收某个TRP下行定位参考信号的波束,发送上行定位参考信号至该TRP。
进一步的,UE发送上行定位参考信号前,接收上行定位参考信号的配置。其中,所述配置信息中以下配置信息至少之一可以由位置服务器推荐至基站,再由基站配置给UE:周期、周期偏移、上行定位参考信号重复配置、上行定位参考信号一个周期的持续时间等等。可选的,上行定位参考信号的周期可以配置为下行定位参考信号周期的整数倍。可选的,所述配置信息用于尽量与下行定位参考信号匹配,以减少在下行和上行定位中UE醒来的次数,节省UE功耗。
本申请实施例中,可选的,所述接收并测量下行定位参考信号包括:根据下行定位参考信号与同步信号块SSB的空间波束关系,接收并测量下行定位参考信号;
其中,下行定位参考信号与同步信号块SSB的空间波束关系,由网络侧设备指示的下行定位参考信号与SSB的空间准共址(Quasi Co-Location,QCL)关系获得;或者,根据下行定位参考信号资源与下行定位参考信号资源所在TRP下同步信号块突发(SSB burst)中实际发送的SSB默认关系获得。
默认关系为:该TRP下,PRS资源集中包含N个PRS资源,SSB burst中实际发送的SSB数也为N个,那么PRS资源与SSB有一一对应的空间关系。比如PRS resource ID 0的PRS resource对应SSB index为0的SSB,PRS resource ID 1的PRS resource对应SSB index为1的SSB,…。当然本申请不对PRS resource ID与SSB index做特殊限制,还可以是其他对应关系。
或者,默认关系为PRS资源集包含N个PRS资源,SSB burst中实际发 送的SSB数为M个,M是N的整数倍(或者M>=N)。那么N个PRS资源可以与M个SSB中的某N个SSB有一一对应的空间关系。N个SSB可以连续或非连续,M中的哪N个SSB可以由协议约定或网络指示。
下行定位参考信号与某个SSB的空间QCL关系,可表示下行定位参考信号与该SSB从相同的发送波束发出。
可选的,下行定位参考信号资源与下行定位参考信号资源所在TRP下同步信号块突发(SSB burst)中实际发送的SSB默认关系可以用于广播的定位辅助数据中。

上报位置相关信息,所述位置相关信息包括定位测量结果与时间误差组的关联关系,和/或,上行定位参考信号与时间误差组的关联关系。

其中,关联关系可以用关联的TEG标识ID表示,或者相同的TEG的下 行定位参考信号测量结果和/或上行定位参考信号分为一组,或者用其他方式表示。
可选的,UE指示上行定位参考信号与时间误差组的关联关系还包含:UE还可以指示上行定位参考信号(如SRS)关联的TEG的变化至网络设备。可选的,以SRS为例,TEG的变化可以是SRS发送过程中某个SRS instance关联的TEG相比于上一个SRS instance关联的TEG发生了变化,也可以是相比于DL+UL定位测量结果中(如Rx-Tx time difference)Tx timing(或SRS)关联的TEG发生了变化。

下行和上行定位方法(DL+UL positioning method)的方法中,UE可以指示定位测量结果与UE Rx TEG的关联关系,和/或,上行定位参考信号与UE Tx TEG的关联关系。除此之外,由于在下行和上行定位方法中包含了下行测量与上行发送,时间误差可以是下行测量误差与上行发送误差的和。
可选的,UE还可以进一步指示Rx TEG与Tx TEG结合(即定位测量结果与SRS发送结合)后与总体时间误差组(如与RxTx TEG)的关联关系或者总体的时间误差的关联关系。比如,UE指示了定位测量结果与2个Rx TEG(Rx TEG0,Rx TEG1)的关系,和上行定位参考信号与2个Tx TEG(Tx TEG0,Tx TEG1)的关系。UE可进一步指示2组Rx TEG与2组Tx TEG结合后的总体TEG的关联关系或总体时间误差的关联关系。不同的总体时间误差组,总体时间误差值不同。比如,指示Rx TEG0+Tx TEG0与Rx TEG1+Tx TEG0的总体误差相同(或总体误差均小于某个阈值),或者位于相同的总体时间误差组0;指示Rx TEG0+Tx TEG1位于总体时间误差组1;指示Rx TEG1+Tx TEG2位于总体时间误差组2。总体时间误差组0,1,2的误差值不同(或者,说 不能假设总体时间误差组0,1,2的误差均小于某个阈值)。
可选的,下行和上行的定位方法中,UE可以指示测量结果(如Rx-Tx time difference)与RxTx TEG的关联关系。一种实施方式如下:

可选的,当SRS resource(s)A关联的TEG(如Tx TEG,或RxTx TEG)改变时,UE可指示包含SRS resource(s)A的1个或多个{PRS resources,SRS resources}组中,SRS resource(s)A与所有PRS resources(即1个或多个{PRS resources,SRS resource(s)A}组合)关联的RxTx TEG的变化(比如从RxTx TEG 0变为RxTx TEG1)。其中,SRS resource(s)A是一个或多个TEG发生变化的SRS resource
可选的,当PRS resource(s)A关联的TEG(如Rx TEG,或RxTx TEG)改变时,UE指示包含PRS resource(s)A的1个或多个{PRS resources,SRS resources}组中,PRS resource(s)A与所有的SRS resources(即1个或多个{PRS resource(s)A,SRS resources}组合)关联的RxTx TEG的变化(比如从RxTx TEG 0变为RxTx TEG2)。
