具体实施方式
为了便于理解本申请，下文先结合附图介绍本申请实施例适用的通信系统及通信过程。
图1是本申请实施例适用的无线通信系统100。该无线通信系统100可以包括网络设备110和终端设备121～129。网络设备110可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖，并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端设备进行通信。
在一些实现方式中，终端设备与终端设备之间可以通过侧行链路(sidelink，SL)进行通信。侧行链路通信也可称为邻近服务(proximity services，ProSe)通信、单边通信、旁链通信、设备到设备(device to device，D2D)通信。
或者说，终端设备和终端设备之间通过侧行链路传输侧行数据。其中侧行数据可以包括数据和/或控制信令。在一些实现方式中，侧行数据例如可以是物理侧行控制信道(physical sidelink control channel，PSCCH)、物理侧行共享信道(physical sidelink control channel，PSSCH)、PSCCH解调定位参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)、PSSCH DMRS、物理侧行反馈信道(physical sidelink feedback channel，PSFCH)等；
下文结合图1介绍几种常见的侧行链路通信场景。在侧行链路通信中，根据侧行链路中的终端设备是否处于网络设备的覆盖范围内，可以分为4种场景。场景1，终端设备在网络设备的覆盖范围内进行侧行链路通信。场景2，部分终端设备在网络设备的覆盖范围内进行侧行链路通信。场景3，终端设备在网络设备的覆盖范围外进行侧行链路通信。
如图1所示，在场景1中，终端设备121～122可以通过侧行链路通信，且终端设备121～122都在网络设备110的覆盖范围内，或者说，终端设备121～122均处于同一网络设备110的覆盖范围内。在这种场景中，网络设备110可以向终端121～122发送配置信令，相应地，终端121～122基于配置信令通过侧行链路进行通信。
如图1所示，在场景2中，终端设备123～124可以通过侧行链路通信，且终端设备123在网络设备110的覆盖范围内，终端设备124在网络设备110的覆盖范围之外。在这种场景中，终端设备123接收到网络设备110的配置信息，并基于配置信令的配置通过侧行链路进行通信。但是对于终端设备124而言，由于终端设备124位于网络设备110的覆盖范围之外，无法接收到网络设备110的配置信息，此时，终端设备124可以基于根据预配置(pre-configuration)的配置信息和/或位于覆盖范围内的终端设备123发送的配置信息，获取侧行链路通信的配置，以便基于获取的配置与终端设备123通过侧行链路进行通信。
在一些情况下，终端设备123可以通过侧行广播信道PSBCH向终端设备124发送上述配置信息，以配置终端设备124通过侧行链路进行通信。
如图1所示，在场景3中，终端设备125～129都位于网络设备110的覆盖范围之外，无法与网络设备110进行通信。在这种情况下，终端设备都可以基于预配置信息配置侧行链路通信。
在一些情况下，位于网络设备覆盖范围之外的终端设备127～129可以组成一个通信组，通信组内的终端设备127～129可以相互通信。另外，通信组内的终端设备127可以作为中央控制节点，又称为组头终端(cluster header，CH)，相应地，其他通信组内的终端设备可以称为“组成员”。
作为CH的终端设备127可以具有以下一种或多种功能：负责通信组的建立；组成员的加入、离开；进行资源协调，为组成员分配侧行传输资源，接收组成员的侧行反馈信息；与其他通信组进行资源协调等功能。

本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备，该网络设备也可以称为接入网设备或无线接入网设备，如网络设备可以是基站。本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是指将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点(或设备)。基站可以广义的覆盖如下中的各种名称，或与如下名称进行替换，比如：节点B(NodeB)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB)、下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、中继站、接入点、传输点(transmitting and receiving point，TRP)、发射点(transmitting point，TP)、主站MeNB、辅站SeNB、多制式无线(MSR)节点、家庭基站、网络控制器、接入节点、无线节点、接入点(access point，AP)、传输节点、收发节点、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)、射频拉远单元(Remote Radio Unit，RRU)、有源天线单元(active antenna unit，AAU)、射频头(remote radio head，RRH)、中心单元(central unit，CU)、分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)、定位节点等。基站可以是宏基站、微基站、中继节点、施主节点或类似物，或其组合。基站还可以指用于设置于前述设备或装置内的通信模块、调制解调器或芯片。基站还可以是移动交换中心以及设备到设备D2D、车辆外联(vehicle-to-everything，V2X)、机器到机器(machine-to-machine，M2M)通信中承担基站功能的设备、6G网络中的网络侧设备、未来的通信系统中承担基站功能的设备等。基站可以支持相同或不同接入技术的网络。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
基站可以是固定的，也可以是移动的。例如，直升机或无人机可以被配置成充当移动基站，一个或多个小区可以根据该移动基站的位置移动。在其他示例中，直升机或无人机可以被配置成用作与另一基站通信的设备。

应理解，本申请中的通信设备的全部或部分功能也可以通过在硬件上运行的软件功能来实现，或者通过平台(例如云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能来实现。
随着通信网络的应用越来越广，物联网和智能化对通信网络中基于定位的服务要求越来越高。目前已知的定位技术主要是由网络设备为待测终端(或称“待定位终端”)提供定位服务，这种定位方式可以称为“通过Uu接口定位”。
通过Uu接口定位
通过Uu接口定位是指网络设备与待测终端之间，通过发送/接收定位参考信号的方式对待测终端进行定位。图2以下行定位为例介绍通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务的方法。基于LTE定位协议(LPP)的规定，为待测终端提供位置服务的方法可以包括过程210至280。
210，LPP请求能力(LPP request capabilities)的过程。定位管理功能(location management function，LMF)请求待测终端的定位能力。
220，LPP提供能力(LPP provide capabilities)的过程。待测终端向LMF发送应答，以指示待测终端的能力。
230，LPP提供定位辅助数据(LPP provide assistance data)的过程。若待测终端告知LMF具有定位能力，LMF向待测终端发送定位辅助数据。
其中，定位辅助数据可以包含锚点节点的PRS资源配置、锚点节点的位置等。上述锚点节点为网络设备。
240，LPP请求定位信息(LPP request location information)的过程。LMF请求待测终端上报基于PRS的下行测量结果。
250，待测终端执行下行PRS测量，生成测量结果。
260，LPP提供定位信息(LPP provide location information)的过程。待测终端向LMF提供待测终端的位置信息。
270，LMF基于待测终端上报的位置信息，对待测终端的位置进行计算。
在一些情况下，上述230中配置PRS资源所在的载波，可能与待测终端Uu接口通信所使用的载波不同，因此，可以在250之前通过过程280，待测终端向网络设备请求测量间隙(measurement gap)。
下文以基于到达时间(time of arrival，TOA)确定待测终端的位置为例，进行说明。假设由3个网络设备为待测终端提供定位服务，相应地，待测终端需要对3个网络设备发送的下行定位参考信号分别进行测量，得到测量结果，测量结果包含每个网络设备发送的定位参考信号的TOA。然后，待测终端将测量报告上报给LMF，相应地，LMF可以利用三角形定位获得待测终端的估计位置。
随着非地面通信技术的发展，上述通过Uu接口定位的方式也支持通过RAN独立(RAN-independent)定位方法，或者称“网络辅助全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system，GNSS)的方法(network-assisted GNSS method)”来对待测终端进行定位。例如，可以基于上文介绍的TOA方式，将3个网络设备替换为3个GNSS卫星，来对待测终端进行定位。其中，地面通信网络可以以辅助的方式辅助GNSS对待测终端定位，具体可以在以下几个方面辅助GNSS对待测终端定位。
一、减少待测终端的GNSS接收器的启动时间，减少GNSS接收器获取GNSS测量结果的时间。可以通过限制待测终端测量定位参考信号的搜索窗口，以提高待测终端得到测量结果的速度。
二、提高待测终端的GNSS接收器的灵敏度。GNSS接收器可以通过接入网(例如，5G接入网)获得定位辅助数据，因此，当待测终端无法解调GNSS卫星信号时，待测终端GNSS接收器可以在低信噪比的情况下工作。
三、与基于独立GNSS为待测终端提供定位服务相比，减少了待测终端消耗的电量。这是因为待测终端的GNSS接收器在不工作时可以处于空闲模式。另外，由于待测终端的GNSS接收器处于空闲模式，因此如果GNSS接收器需要从空闲模式进入激活模式所需的启动时间也较短。
四、提高待测终端的定位精度。接入网(例如，5G接入网)可以为GNSS定位提供校正服务，例如，提供载波相位差分技术(又称“实时动态差分法”(Real-time kinematic，RTK))来进行校正。又例如，通过PPP算法对状态空间域(state space representation，SSR)进行校正得到SSR校正参数来校正待测终端的位置。
在上文介绍的通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务的过程中，包含网络设备、LMF以及通信系统中的其他网元(例如，接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)可以视为为待测终端提供定位服务的定位系统。在定位系统为待测终端提供定位服务的过程中，可以设置一些参数来表征定位系统的完整性。
定位完整性
定位完整性用于描述对定位系统提供的位置相关数据的准确性的信任程度，以及在定位系统不满足预期操作条件时向LCS客户端提供及时有效警告的能力。
通常，定位系统不满足预期操作条件可以理解为在一定时长内保护水平(protection level，PL)大于警告水平(alert level，AL)，且在上述时长对应的时间之后，定位系统宣告不可用。其中，上述时长大于或等于故障检测时间间隔(又称“警告时间”(time-to-alert，TTA))定义的时长。
目标完整性风险(target integrity rate，TIR)被定义为定位系统的定位错误超出AL，且未在TTA内警告用户的概率。
上述PL是定位误差(positioning error，PE)的统计上限。由于在不知道实际位置的情况下，无法知道定位系统的定位误差，因此可以使用PL来度量定位系统的定位误差。当PL超过AL时，将引发警报。因此，PL必须满足以下关系:P(定位误差>PL)≤TIR，以避免定位系统失去定位完整性。
上述AL指最大允许定位误差。如果超过这个限制，就必须发出警报。
TTA被定义为最大允许时间跨度。该时间跨度的起点为PL为界限的定位误差超过AL的时刻，该时间跨度的终点为PL>AL的时刻且定位系统进入安全状态，例如，不再使用定位系统的输出。
在上文介绍的参数中，AL、TTA和TIR是定位系统自主规定的关键绩效指标(key performance indicator，KPI)。而PL是在考虑定位系统可能面临的一系列可疑事件(feared event)的基础上计算得出。通常，TIR设置的越低，定位系统需要考虑到的可疑事件也就越多。
上述可疑事件可以分为两类即故障(fault)造成的可疑事件以及无故障造成的可疑事件。在一些情况下，上述由于故障造成的可疑事件可以是定位系统固有的事件，例如，是由定位系统的某个元件的故障(例如卫星网络或地面网络故障)引起的。在一些情况下，上述由于无故障造成的可疑事件不是由定位系统的故障造成的，例如，当定位系统输入错误时，会发生无故障造成的可疑事件。又例如，在GNSS中，无故障造成的可疑事件包括由于不良的卫星地理分布，较强的大气梯度导致的信号中断。无故障造成的可疑事件会降低定位系统的定位性能但不会导致定位系统故障。
在一些情况下，上述可疑事件可以包括定位辅助数据的可疑事件，例如，定位辅助数据定位错误和/或影响定位辅助数据的外部可疑事件等。上述可疑事件还可以包括定位数据传输过程中发生的可疑事 件，例如，数据完整性错误。上述可疑事件还可以包括GNSS可疑事件，例如，卫星可疑事件、大气可疑事件、当地环境可疑事件。
另外，当定位完整性系统发生故障可以理解为触发完整性事件(integrity event)。当定位系统输出有害误导信息(hazardous misleading information，HMI)时，就会发生完整性事件。当定位声明可用时，实际定位误差超过AL而未在所需TTA内发出警报时，就会发生HMI。当宣布该定位系统可用时，实际定位误差超过PL时，就会产生误导信息。通常，定位系统的设计可以容忍一定程度的误导信息(misleading information，MI)，前提是系统可以在AL内继续安全运行。对于网络和终端来说，可能导致MI或HMI的故障和无故障条件都需要进行表征。
上文结合定位系统的完整性参数对定位系统的完整性进行介绍，在定位系统为待测终端提供定位服务的过程中还可以使用服务质量来定义定位服务。
定位服务的服务质量(location service quality of service，LCS Qos)
LCS Qos用于描述定位请求的服务级别。通常，LCS Qos可以包含3个关键属性：LCS Qos类别、精度以及响应时间。
LCS Qos类别定义了定位服务对其他Qos参数(例如，准确性)的遵守程度。目前，LCS Qos类别可以包括最佳努力类(best effort class)以及确定类(assure class)。
其中，最佳努力类定义对位置请求所达到的Qos的最低要求。如果获得的待测终端的位置估计不满足其他Qos参数的要求，则依然返回该位置估计值(或者称“估计位置”)，但是要以适当的指示表明未满足该定位请求的Qos。如果未获得位置估计，则会发送响应的错误响应。
确定类定义了对位置请求所达到的准确性的最严格要求。如果获得的位置估计不满足其他Qos参数要求，则应将该位置估计丢弃，并发送相应错误原因。
需要说明的是，在目前已有的通信系统(例如，5G通信系统)或未来的通信系统中，定位系统将尝试满足其他Qos参数。
侧行链路资源分配方式
目前，在某些通信系统(例如，NR)中，定义了两种侧行链路资源的资源配置方式，模式1和模式2。
模式1，由网络设备为终端调度侧行链路资源。
目前，在模式1中可以分为动态资源配置(dynamic resource allocation)和侧行链路配置授权(sidelink configured grant，SL CG)两种方式。在动态资源配置下，网络设备可以通过发送下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)为终端分配侧行传输资源。在侧行链路配置授权方式下，当终端被配置了侧行链路资源后，如果终端有待发送的数据时，终端可以使用配置的侧行链路资源传输数据，而不需要向网络设备重新申请侧行链路资源。因此，采用配置授权的资源配置方式可以降低侧行链路的传输时延。
上述配置授权又细分为两个类型，在配置授权的类型1(Type1)中，侧行链路资源配置完全基于无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令。在配置授权的类型2(Type2)中，通信系统中的侧行链路资源配置可以由RRC信令和层1(layer 1，L1)信令共同配置，其中L1信令用于指示RRC配置的激活和去激活。
在一些实现方式中，网络设备可以为终端调度单次传输的侧行链路资源。在另一些实现方式中，网络设备还可以为终端配置半静态的侧行链路资源。
模式2，终端在资源池中自主选择侧行链路资源。
在该模式下，终端执行的过程包括资源探测过程和/或资源选择过程。在资源探测过程中，终端可以通过解调侧行链路的控制信息(sidelink control information，SCI)来对侧行链路资源的占用情况进行鉴定。终端还可以通过测量侧行链路的接收功率来对侧行链路资源的占用情况进行鉴定。
如上文介绍，在定位系统通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务时，需要有多个网络设备向终端发送PRS，以便终端基于PRS进行测量。然而，在一些情况下，上述多个网络设备中可能会有至少部分网络设备无法为待测终端提供准确的定位服务，这就导致了待测终端最终获得的估计位置的精度降低。
在一些情况下，如果上述多个网络设备中的目标网络设备与待测终端之间为非视距传输，这就为目标网络设备和待测终端之间传输PRS引入了误差，降低了待测终端对PRS进行测量的测量结果的准确性，最终导致待测终端的估计位置并不准确。
在另一些情况下，如果LMF提供的定位辅助数据的准确性不高，例如，作为锚点的网络设备的位置的定位精度不够高，此时，如果基于这种网络设备的位置计算待测终端的估计位置，也会导致待测终端的估计位置并不准确。
在另一些情况下，如果待测终端处于一个较为复杂的环境中(例如，城市环境)，此时，待测终端从网络设备(例如，卫星基站)接收的PRS可能包含众多多径信号成分，这也会导致待测终端基于该 PRS的测量报告的准确性降低，从而导致待测终端的估计位置并不准确。
因此，为了避免上述问题，提高待测终端的估计位置的准确度，可以采用终端作为锚点，来确定待测终端的估计位置。或者说，可以触发侧行链路定位功能来确定待测终端的估计位置。其中，侧行链路定位功能可以理解为将传统的定位技术中作为锚点的多个网络设备中的部分或全部网络设备替换为终端，并利用锚点终端向待测终端之间的侧行链路传输参考信号，并对参考信号进行测量，得到测量结果，并基于测量结果计算待测终端的估计位置。下文将结合图3至图5介绍侧行链路定位功能的流程，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。
上述通过侧行链路发送的参考信号可以是现有的侧行链路上发送的任意一种参考信号，例如，侧行链路定位参考信号(sidelink-PRS)。也可以是未来通信系统中规定的用于定位的其他参考信号，本申请实施例对此不作限定。为了便于理解，下文将上述通过侧行链路发送的参考信号称为“定位参考信号”。
需要说明的是，上述侧行链路定位功能可以基于已有的定位技术进行定位，例如，可以基于TOA技术执行上述侧行链路定位功能。又例如，可以基于到达时间差(time difference of arrival，TDOA)技术执行上述侧行链路定位功能。
另外，上述测量结果中包含的信息可以遵循目前通过Uu接口为待测终端定位时的测量结果的规定。例如，测量结果可以包含下行离开角、上行到达角、下行参考信号时间差、终端的RX-TX时间差等。
虽然可以通过侧行链路定位功能为待测终端提供定位服务，但是目前并未规定在什么情况下激活侧行链路定位功能。如果在通过Uu接口可以为正常提供待测终端定位服务的情况下，激活了侧行链路定位功能，可能会导致侧行传输资源的浪费。
因此，在本申请实施例提供了一种侧行链路定位功能的激活机制，来为待测终端提供定位服务，以减少侧行传输资源的浪费。在本申请实施例中，上述激活机制可以包括在预设事件发生的情况下，激活侧行链路定位功能。其中，激活侧行链路定位功能可以由LMF执行。当然，上述激活侧行链路定位功能也可以由其他设备执行，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
上述预设事件的制定主要考虑了通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务的精度、通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务的Qos等级、定位辅助数据的有效性、定位系统是否触发完整性事件等方面。下文主要介绍本申请实施例制定的几种预设事件。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例提供的各种预设事件可以单独使用作为触发侧行链路定位服务的激活机制。本申请实施例提供的多种预设事件还可以任意组合，作为触发侧行链路定位服务的激活机制。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
另外，为了便于区分，下文将通过侧行链路定位功能获得的待测终端的估计位置称为“第一估计位置”，将通过Uu接口获得的待测终端的估计位置称为“第二估计位置”。也就是说，在确定第一估计位置的过程中，作为锚点的节点可以全部是终端，也可以包含终端和网络设备。在确定第二估计位置的过程中，作为锚点的节点全部是网络设备。
预设事件一、待测终端的第二估计位置的精度低于第一精度阈值。
其中，第一精度阈值可以请求为待测终端提供定位服务的客户端指示的精度阈值。第一精度阈值还可以是通过预设、预配置、预定义的方式设定的精度阈值。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
预设事件二、通过Uu接口为待测终端提供定位服务LCS的第一服务质量Qos不满足第一Qos所属的LCS Qos等级。或者说，提供第二估计位置的定位服务的第一Qos不满足对应的LCS Qos等级。
上述LCS Qos等级的相关介绍可以参见上文的介绍，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。
在一些实现方式中，假设第一Qos对应的LCS Qos等级为确定类，上述第二估计位置的第一Qos参数不满足其他Qos参数，则第一Qos不满足对应的LCS Qos等级。其中，其他Qos参数可以是准确性，也就是说，第一Qos参数不满足Qos等级对应的准确性要求，则第一Qos不满足对应的LCS Qos等级。
上述第二估计位置对应的LCS Qos等级，可以是定位系统的客户端指定的LCS Qos等级，例如，可以是客户端在请求待测终端的定位服务时指定的LCS Qos等级。上述第二估计位置对应的LCS Qos等级还可以是定位系统默认的LCS Qos等级。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
预设事件三、定位辅助数据的有效性低于有效性阈值。
上述定位辅助数据的有效性可以包括定位辅助数据的有效时长。也就是说，定位辅助数据的有效时长低于阈值。上述有效性阈值可以理解为用于保障定位辅助数据的有效时长的剩余时长。例如，有效性阈值为2ms，上述预设事件为定位辅助数据的有效时长短于2ms。
在一些情况下，定位辅助数据具有时效性，如果定位辅助数据的有效时长低于阈值，则说明该定位辅助数据在不久的将来会失效。此时，如果依然使用这种定位辅助数据，可能导致待测终端的定位精度降低，甚至导致待测终端的定位失败。
例如，定位辅助数据包含待测终端接收定位参考信号的资源位置，如果定位辅助数据的有效时长低于阈值，但是待测终端依然使用该定位辅助数据，那么当待测终端按照定位辅助数据的指示在对应的资源位置上接收定位参考信号时，由于定位辅助数据的失效，上述定位参考信号可能在其他资源位置上传输了，此时，待测终端将无法接收到定位参考信号，导致待测终端的定位失败。
预设事件四、提供LCS的定位系统的定位完整性水平较低。
在一些实现方式中，提供LCS的定位系统的定位完整性水平低于第一定位完整性水平阈值，或者说，确定第二估计位置的定位系统的完整性水平低于第一定位完整性水平阈值。
基于上文对定位完整性的介绍可知，上述定位系统的定位完整性水平低于第一定位完整性水平阈值，可以说明，此时定位系统提供的位置相关数据的准确性可能较低。
例如，上述定位完整性水平可以表示为(PL-AL)/AL，其中，PL表示定位系统的保护水平，AL表示定位系统的警告水平。
上述第一定位完整性水平阈值可以是通过预定义、预配置的方式配置的，本申请实施例对此不作具体介绍。
在另一些实现方式中，定位系统的定位完整性结果为失败，或者说，第二估计位置的定位完整性结果为失败。基于上文对定位完整性的介绍可知，定位系统的定位完整性结果为失败，可以说明，此时定位系统提供的位置相关数据的准确性可能较低。
预设事件四、触发完整性事件和/或可疑事件。
当定位系统发生完整性事件和/或可疑事件时，可以理解为待测终端的第二估计位置可能存在完整性问题，其中，完整性事件、可疑事件的相关介绍可以参见上文，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。
如上文介绍，定位辅助数据是帮助确定待测终端的估计位置的重要信息，如果在产生定位辅助数据的过程中，发生可疑事件和/或完整性事件，将直接影响待测终端的定位精度，因此，可以将定位辅助数据的产生发生可疑事件作为预设条件；和/或，将获取位辅助数据时发生可疑事件作为预设条件。
预设事件五、PRS的传输场景导致第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性降低。或者，PRS的传输场景导致基于PRS得到的测量结果的精度低于第二精度阈值。
PRS的传输场景有可能会对PRS得到的测量结果、第二估计位置的精度和/或完整性造成影响，甚至导致第二估计位置的定位完整性结果为失败(或者说导致定位系统的定位完整性结果为失败)。因此，可以设定一些特殊传输场景作为预设条件。在一些实现方式中，可以设定预设条件包括发送PRS的网络设备与待测终端之间为非视距传输。如果发送PRS的网络设备与待测终端之间为非视距传输，则可能降低第二估计位置的精度和/或完整性。在另一些实现方式中，可以设定预设条件包括PRS的网络设备为卫星。当发送PRS的网络设备为卫星，PRS以非地面传输的方式传输时，由于PRS的传输路径较长，可能会引入多径信号成分，导致基于PRS得到的测量结果、第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性降低。
在一些情况下，上述特殊的PRS传输场景也不是一定会对第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性造成影响，因此，可以将确定PRS传输场景对第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性造成影响作为预设事件。在一些实现方式中，上述预设事件可以包括PRS的传输场景导致第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性水平，低于定位系统为其他终端提供定位服务时的精度和/或定位完整性水平。上述预设事件说明PRS传输场景对基于PRS得到的测量结果、第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性水平造成影响。
在另一些情况下，可以基于定位系统的当前定位完整性水平和历史完整性水平确定PRS的传输场景对第二估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性的影响。
例如，待测终端在从位置1向位置2移动的过程中，从与网络设备1的视距传输移动到与网络设备1的非视距传输，在这种情况下，待测终端在位置1基于接收到的PRS得到的测量结果的定位完整性水平，通常会高于待测终端在位置2基于接收到的PRS得到的测量结果的定位完整性水平。相应地，待测终端在位置1处获得的估计位置的定位完整性水平，会高于待测终端在位置2处获得的估计位置的定位完整性水平。其中，待测终端在位置1处获得的估计位置的定位完整性水平可以理解为历史定位完整性水平。
又例如，待测终端在从位置1向位置2移动的过程中，从与网络设备1的视距传输移动到与网络设备1的非视距传输，在这种情况下，待测终端在位置1基于接收到的PRS得到的测量结果的精度，通常会高于待测终端在位置2基于接收到的PRS得到的测量结果的精度。相应地，待测终端在位置1处获得的估计位置的精度，会高于待测终端在位置2处获得的估计位置的精度。其中，待测终端在位置1处获得的估计位置的精度可以理解为历史精度。
需要说明的是，在上文介绍的预设条件五中，PRS的传输场景的检测方式可以由很多种，本申请实 施例对此不作限定。例如，接收端(例如，待测终端)可以通过观察信道的冲击响应，来判断是否存在非视距传输。通常，如果信道冲击响应中，直线路径的信号的能量较弱，其他路径的信号的能量较强，则可以判断信号直线传播路径是非视距传输。
在本申请实施例中，通过设置激活侧行链路定位功能的条件，即在预设事件发生的情况下，避免在传统定位可以为待测终端提供定位服务的情况下，依然激活侧行链路定位功能，通过侧行链路资源传输定位参考信号，有利于提高使用侧行链路资源的合理性。
另外，上述预设事件可以由待测终端、网络设备或LMF中任意一方监测。当然，上述预设事件也可以由上述三方或其中两方同时监测，以提高监测的可靠性。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
如上文所述，当作为锚点的多个网络设备无法为待测终端提供合适的定位服务时，可以将上述多个网络设备中的部分或全部网络设备替换为锚点终端。为了保证待测终端的定位精度和/或完整性水平，本申请实施例还提供了一种选择锚点终端的方案。下文分几种情况介绍选择锚点锚点终端的方式。
需要说明的是，下文介绍的锚点终端的选择方式可以单独应用，以选择锚点终端。下文介绍的选择方式也可以结合使用以选择锚点终端。其中，结合使用以确定锚点终端的情况下可以将下文中的方式全部结合使用，也可任选部分方式组合使用，还可将不同方式中的实现方式结合使用。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
方式一，选择锚点终端的过程中，可以考虑锚点终端与待测终端之间的位置。如果锚点终端与待测终端之间的距离较近，可以提高锚点终端与待测终端之间传输定位参考信号的准确性，减少定位参考信号中的多径信号成分，以提高待测终端生成测量结果的准确性。
在一些实现方式中，锚点终端和待测终端之间的距离可以通过预设距离限定。也就是说，锚点终端与待测终端之间的距离小于或等于预设距离。其中，预设距离可以是预定义或预配置的，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在另一些实现方式中，可以通过锚点终端和待测终端之间是否能通过发现消息(例如，侧行链路发现消息)发现对方，来限定锚点终端和待测终端之间的距离。通常，通过发现消息可以发现的终端之间的距离也是在一定范围内的。例如，锚点终端通过第一侧行链路发现消息发现待测终端。又例如，待测终端通过第二侧行链路发现消息发现锚点终端。
方式二，选择锚点终端的过程中，可以考虑锚点终端和待测终端之间传输信号的信号测量结果。如果信号测量结果较好，说明锚点终端和待测终端之间基于定位参考信号得到的测量结果的准确性越高，这样，基于测量结果计算的第一估计位置的准确性也会较高。
在一些实现方式中，可以通过设置第一信号测量结果门限的方式，来选择锚点终端。例如，待测终端测量的锚点终端发送的信号的信号测量结果高于预设的第一信号测量结果。又例如，锚点终端测量的待测终端发送的信号的信号测量结果高于预设的第二信号测量结果。
上述信号可以是通过侧行链路传输的任一种信号，例如，可以是通过侧行链路传输的定位参考信号。又例如，还可以通过侧行链路传输的其他定位参考信号。又例如，还可以是通过侧行链路传输的专门用于选择锚点终端的信号。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
上述预设的第一信号测量结果和/或第二信号测量结果，可以是通过预配置、预定义等方式配置的，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
方式三，选择锚点终端的过程中可以考虑锚点终端的位置的精度、定位完整性水平和/或定位结果。
因为在估计待测终端的第一估计位置时，需要基于锚点终端的位置来计算，如果锚点终端具有较高精度位置、定位完整性水平和/或定位完整性结果不为失败，那么有利于确保第一估计位置的精度和/或定位完整性水平。
在一些实现方式中，可以通过设置第二精度阈值，来选择锚点终端。即，锚点终端的估计位置的精度高于第二精度阈值。其中，第二精度阈值可以通过预配置或预定义的方式来配置，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在另一些实现方式中，可以通过设置第三定位完整性水平阈值，来选择锚点终端。即，锚点终端的估计位置的定位完整性水平高于第三定位完整性水平阈值。其中，第三定位完整性水平阈值可以通过预配置或预定义的方式来配置，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
当然，在一些情况下，某些终端的位置可能是已知的，通常也可以选择这类终端作为锚点终端。例如，对于路测单元(road side unit，RSU)来说，RSU的位置是已知的，可以选用RSU作为锚点终端。
需要说明的是，上文介绍的锚点的选择可以由待测终端、锚点终端、LMF或网络设备中的任意一方执行，并最终上报给计算待测终端的第一估计位置的网元。为了便于理解，下文以上报方式一、和上报方式二为例介绍。
上报方式一、主动上报。
在一些实现方式中，待测终端可以主动向LMF上报锚点终端。例如，待测终端可以基于上述锚点终端的选择方式选择合适的终端后，将锚点终端上报给LMF。
在另一些实现方式中，锚点终端可以主动向LMF上报自己可以作为待测终端的锚点终端。例如，锚点终端可以基于上述锚点终端的选择方式，确认自己适合作为待测终端的锚点终端后，可以主动向LMF上报自己可以作为待测终端的锚点终端。
上报方式二、被动上报。
在一些实现方式中，LMF可以向待测终端发送询问信息，其中，询问信息用于询问为待测终端提供定位服务的锚点终端。相应地，待测终端可以向LMF上报锚点终端。
在另一些实现方式中，LMF可以向锚点终端发送询问信息，其中，询问信息用于询问为待测终端提供定位服务的锚点终端。相应地，锚点终端可以向LMF上报自己作为待测终端的锚点终端。
如上文所述，在通过Uu接口，为待测终端提供定位服务时，作为锚点的多个网络设备中可能存在不合适的网络设备，那么我们可以选择锚点终端替换这种不合适的网络设备，以为待测终端提供定位服务。
在一些实现方式中，有些定位方式中规定了作为锚点的网络设备的数量，因此，可以选择与不合适的网络设备的数量相同的锚点终端，以便继续沿用该定位方式。例如，在基于TOA定位的定位方式中，通常需要选择3个网络设备作为锚点网络设备，此时，如果不合适的网络设备的数量为1，那么可以选择1个锚点终端替换该不合适的网络设备，为待测终端提供定位服务。当然，在另一些实现方式中，为了提高待测终端的定位的准确性，锚点终端的数量也可以大于不合适的网络设备的数量。
上述不合适的网络设备又称“目标网络设备”，可以是为待测终端提供的位置信息的精度低于第二精度阈值的网络设备。上述目标网络设备还可以是无法为待测终端提供定位服务所需的LCS Qos等级的网络设备。
上文介绍了侧行链路定位的触发条件、锚点终端的选择方式，下文结合图2至图4介绍侧行链路定位的方式。需要说明的是，在下文的介绍中，通过对网络设备发送的定位参考信号得到的测量结果，可以称为“Uu接口的测量结果”。
