其中，该一个或多个参考信号属于P个参考信号，该至少一项参量的信息属于该Q个信息，该Q个信息包括如下至少一项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
在该实现中，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，基于该对应关系，终端通过发送参考信号 的方式上报信息，可以不依赖于数据信道而实现信息的上报，可以降低终端设备的复杂度和信令开销，从而降低终端设备的功耗。
结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，该方法还包括：
终端设备接收P个参考信号的配置信息，该配置信息包括该对应关系。
第二方面，提供了一种上报信息的方法，该方法包括：
第一设备接收来自于终端设备的一个或多个参考信号；
第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号，确定终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息。
在本申请的技术方案中，终端设备发送一个或多个参考信号，该一个或多个参考信号对应终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息。由于参考信号和该至少一项参量的信息的对应关系，因此，终端设备通过发送一个或多个参考信号，第一设备接收到来自于终端设备的一个或多个参考信号，获得与该一个或多个参考信号对应的参量的信息，在满足低功耗定位需求的同时，还可以满足终端设备支持信息上报的需求。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号，确定终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息，包括：
第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号，以及对应关系，确定终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息，该对应关系为P个参考信号和Q个信息之间的对应关系，P和Q为正整数；
其中，该一个或多个参考信号属于P个参考信号，该至少一项参量的信息属于Q个信息，该Q个信息包括如下至少一项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
在本申请的技术方案中，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，基于该对应关系，终端通过发送参考信号的方式上报信息，可以不依赖于数据信道而实现信息的上报。第一设备接收来自于终端设备的一个或多个参考信号，即获得与该一个或多个参考信号对应的信息。该方法可以降低终端设备的上报信息的复杂度和信令开销，从而降低终端设备的功耗。
此外，第一设备无需解调数据信道，而是直接通过接收来自于终端设备的一个或多个参考信号，获取与该一个或多个参考信号对应的信息，可以降低第一设备的复杂度和信令开销。
结合第二方面，在第二方面的某些实现方式中，该方法还包括：第一设备向终端设备发送P个参考信号的配置信息，该配置信息包括所述对应关系。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，终端设备不支持通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH传输所述Q个信息中的至少一个信息。
在该实现中，终端设备不依赖于PUSCH进行信息的上报。相比于终端依赖于PUSCH来支持信息的上报，本申请中通过发送参考信号(例如，用于定位的参考信号)实现与该 参考信号对应的信息的上报，可以进一步降低终端设备的功耗。
特别地，对于RRC_INACTIVE和RRC_IDLE状态的终端而言，终端仅需发送用于定位的参考信号，就能实现相应信息的上报，而不需要在发送用于定位的参考信号之外，再单独通过PUSCH上报信息。因此，相比于RRC_INACTIVE和RRC_IDLE状态的终端通过PUSCH上报信息的方案，本申请的技术方案能进一步降低RRC_INACTIVE和RRC_IDLE状态的终端的功耗。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，P个参考信号包括第一参考信号，Q个信息包括第一信息，第一参考信号对应第一信息，第一信息指示功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量或需求参量的信息。
在该实现中，P个参考信号中的第一参考信号唯一对应Q个信息中的第一信息，并且，第一信息唯一指示一个参量的信息，因此，参考信号所隐含指示的参量的信息非常明确，可以实现终端设备对参量信息的精准指示。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，P个参考信号包括第二参考信号，Q个信息包括第二信息，第二参考信号对应第二信息，第二信息指示如下至少两项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
在该实现中，一个参考信号指示多个参量的信息，可以提升资源利用率，并且能够进一步降低终端的功耗。另外，对于一些参量的特定组合的信息，这种上报组合信息的方式具有实际意义。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，功耗参量包括如下一项或多项：电量等级、能耗状态和待机时间；
运动参量包括如下一项或多项：终端设备是否处于运动状态、终端设备是否处于高速运动状态、终端设备是否处于低速运动状态、运动速度等级、运动方向和运动姿势；
通知参量包括如下一项或多项：高电量指示、低电量指示、高能耗指示、低能耗指示、高速移动指示、低速移动指示、紧急呼救告警、地理围栏告警和工作模式指示；
需求参量包括服务质量QoS需求。
在该实现中，终端的参量的表示(或者说，表征)是多角度的，这些参量可以从不同的角度或者方面反映终端所处的状态、环境或情况，例如，终端是否处于低电量、终端是否需要紧急救援等。终端设备通过上报不同的参量，可以帮助第一设备(例如，网络侧设备)判断终端设备的情况，从而作出相应的决策，在实际应用中具有重要意义。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，第二信息指示如下至少两项参量的信息，包括：
第二信息指示通知参量以及如下至少一项参量的信息：功耗参量、运动参量或需求参量；或者，
第二信息指示功耗参量和运动参量的信息。
在该实现中，对于一些特定组合的参量的信息进行上报，除了可以降低终端的能耗，提升资源利用率之外，这些特定的组合更有利于第一设备(例如，网络侧)快速知晓终端 的特定组合状态(例如，低电量且高速移动，低电量且紧急呼救告警等)。对比单独上报的情况，第一设备通过接收单个参考信号就能获取多个信息，能够更及时地作出合适的决策或处理，满足一些特定场景下的需求。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，P个参考信号中任意两个参考信号的如下至少一项不同：
发送周期、参考信号图案、参考信号序列。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，该配置信息还包括Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的上报条件，其中，该一个或多个信息的上报条件包括如下一项或多项：
告警阈值范围；
位置阈值范围；
电量阈值范围；
运动速度阈值范围；
能耗阈值范围；
工作模式变更；
需求变更；
该一个或多个信息的上报优先级顺序。
在该实现中，通过为Q个信息中的一个或多个信息配置上报条件，使得该一个或多个信息可以以非周期或半持续的方式进行上报，相对于周期上报，终端不需要频繁上报，可以进一步降低功耗。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中，P个参考信号中的至少一个参考信号为用于定位的参考信号。
可选地，一种可能的思路为P个参考信号全部为定位参考信号。在这种实现中，终端在上报信息的同时，网络侧接收到定位参考信号，可用于定位，定位服务不会被中断。
另一种可能的思路为，P个参考信号中的部分参考信号为定位参考信号，其余参考信号是不用于定位的参考信号。在这种实现中，在非上报时刻或不满足上报条件时，终端发送定位参考信号用于定位；在其余情况下，终端设备发送非定位用途的参考信号。在总的定位参考信号数目有限的情况下，这种实现可以提高网络中定位终端的容量，也即提高网络中满足定位需求的终端的数量。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例提供的方法和装置可应用于各种通信系统，例如，长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统，第五代(5th generation，5G)系统，新无线(new radio，NR)系统，无线保真(wireless-fidelity，WiFi)系统，第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)相关的通信系统，未来可能出现的其他通信系统或多种通信融合系统。
新无线(new radio,NR)支持3种无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)状态，包括 RRC_IDLE(也称空闲态)、RRC_INACTIVE(也称去激活态)和RRC_CONNECTED(也称连接态)。
UE处于不同的状态时具有不同的特征：
当UE处于RRC_IDLE状态时，其特征是核心网未保留UE的RRC上下文(即，RRC Context)。RRC上下文是UE与网络之间建立通信的关键参数，具体包括安全上下文、UE能力信息等。这也意味着，UE尚未与核心网(core network,CN)建立连接，即处于CN_IDLE状态。此时，UE不存在待传送的数据，自身将进入休眠(sleep)状态，关闭收发单元以降低功耗。
当UE处于RRC_CONNECTED状态时，UE已建立了RRC上下文，UE与网络之间建立通信所必需的全部参数均已为通信双方所知，网络为接入的UE分配了C-RNTI，UE与核心网则处于CN_CONNECTED状态。此时，如UE正在传送数据，则处于连续接收状态，直至数据传送完成而进入等待状态时，切换为连接态DRX以节省功耗。如果后续还有数据待传送，则UE再次返回连续接收状态。
当UE处于RRC_INACTIVE状态时，UE和网络之间保留了RRC上下文，从核心网的角度来看，UE也处于CN_CONNECTED状态。此时，切换到连接态以进行数据接收的流程是相对快速的，且无须产生额外的核心网信令开销。
本申请的技术方案对于终端设备处于上述3种RRC状态下都是适用的。
参见图1，图1为适用于本申请的一种系统架构示意图。图1示出了基于第五代(the fifth generation,5G)通信系统的核心网(core network)的定位架构，该定位架构包括核心网、无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)和终端设备。其中，核心网包括接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)、定位管理功能(location management function,LMF)等功能实体。NG-RAN包括一个或多个ng-eNB和gNB。其中，ng-eNB是接入5G核心网的长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)基站，gNB是接入5G核心网的5G基站。另外，该系统架构中还可以包括一个或多个终端设备。NG-RAN通过NG-C接口经由AMF连接到核心网。终端通过LTE-Uu接口和NR-Uu接口分别经由ng-eNB和gNB连接到NG-RAN。
在基于5G核心网(以下简称为5GC)的定位架构中，各功能实体的作用如下。
定位管理设备，具有定位功能。本申请实施例涉及的定位管理设备可包括位置管理功能(location management function，LMF)或者位置管理组件(location management component，LMC)，或者可以是位于网络设备中的本地位置管理功能(local location management function，LLMF)，本申请实施例对此不作限定。下述实施例均以定位管理设备为LMF为例进行介绍。
LMF，负责支持有关目标UE的不同类型的位置服务，包括对UE的定位和向UE传递辅助数据，其控制面和用户面分别是E-SMLC和SLP。LMF可能与ng-eNB/gNB和UE进行如下的信息交互：
(1)与ng-eNB/gNB之间通过NRPPa消息进行信息交互，例如，获取PRS、SRS配置信息、小区定时、小区位置信息等；
(2)与UE之间通过LPP消息进行UE能力信息传递、辅助信息传递、测量信息传递等。
AMF，可以从5GC位置定位服务(location service,LCS)实体接收与目标UE相关的位置服务请求，或者AMF本身也可代表特定目标UE启动一些位置服务，并将位置服务请求转发给LMF。当得到UE返回的位置信息后，将相关位置信息返回给5GC LCS实体。
终端设备，可以测量来自于NG-RAN和其它来源的下行链路信号以支持定位。
gNB/ng-eNB，可以为目标UE提供测量信息，并将此信息传达给LMF。
另外，图1中所示的各网元之间的接口名称仅是作为示例。在不同的通信系统中，或者随着通信系统的演进，图1中所示的各网元之间的接口也可以不同于图1所示，本文不作限定。
应理解，图1中所示的gNB/ng-eNB为无线接入网设备的示例。
本申请提及的网络设备，是终端设备通过无线方式接入到该移动通信系统中的接入设备，包括接入网(access network，AN)设备，例如基站。网络设备也可以是指在空口与终端设备通信的设备。网络设备可以包括长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统或高级长期演进(long term evolution-advanced，LTE-A)中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B)，可简称为eNB或e-NodeB)。eNB是一种部署在无线接入网中满足第四代移动通信技术(the fourth generation，4G)标准的为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。网络设备还可以是新无线控制器(new radio controller，NR controller)，可以是5G系统中的(gNode B，gNB)，可以是集中式网元(centralized unit)，可以是新无线基站，可以是射频拉远模块，可以是微基站(也称为小站)，可以是中继(relay)，可以是分布式网元(distributed unit)，可以是各种形式的宏基站，可以是传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、传输测量功能(transmission measurement function，TMF)或传输点(transmission point，TP)或者任何其它无线接入设备，本申请实施例不限于此。网络设备也可以包括无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home evolved NodeB，或home Node B，HNB)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，或无线保真(wireless fidelity，Wifi)接入点(access point，AP)等。本申请的实施例对网络设备所使用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。网络设备在4G系统中可以对应eNB，在5G系统中对应gNB。
另外，本申请实施例中的基站可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)，多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。CU和DU可以根据其具备的无线网络的协议层功能进行划分，例如分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，PDCP以下的协议层，例如无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层和介质访问控制(medium access control，MAC)层等的功能设置在DU。需要说明的是，这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，还可以在其它协议层划分。射频装置可以拉远，不放在DU中，也可以集成在DU中，或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中，本申请实施例不作任何限制。另外，在一些实施例中，还可以将CU的控制面(control plan,CP)和用户面(user plan,UP)分离，分成不同实体来实现，分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。在该网络架构中，CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端设备，或者UE产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给UE或CU。在该网络架构中， 将CU划分为无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)侧的网络设备，此外，也可以将CU划分作为核心网(core network，CN)侧的网络设备，本申请对此不做限制。
本申请中提及的终端设备，可为用户设备(user equipment,UE)，有时也称为终端、接入站、UE站、远方站、无线通信设备、或用户装置等等。终端设备是一种具有无线收发功能的设备，可以向网络设备发送信号，或接收来自网络设备的信号。所述终端设备用于连接人，物，机器等，可广泛用于各种场景，例如包括但不限于以下场景：蜂窝通信、设备到设备通信(device-to-device,D2D)、车到一切(vehicle to everything,V2X)、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications,M2M/MTC)、物联网(internet of things,IoT)、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)、工业控制(industrial control)、无人驾驶(self driving)、远程医疗(remote medical)、智能电网(smart grid)、智能家具、智能办公、智能穿戴、智能交通，智慧城市(smart city)、无人机、机器人等场景的终端设备。
终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、IoT网络中智能音箱、远程医疗中的无线终端设备、智能电网中的无线终端设备、运输安全中的无线终端设备、智慧城市中的无线终端设备，或智慧家庭中的无线终端设备等等。作为示例而非限定，在本申请的实施例中，该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。
终端设备还可以包括中继(relay)。或者理解为，能够与基站进行数据通信的都可以看作终端设备。而如上介绍的各种终端设备，如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内)，都可以认为是车载终端设备，车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit，OBU)。另外，本申请实施例中，终端设备可以是指用于实现终端的功能的装置，也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统，该装置可以被安装在终端设备中。例如终端设备也可以是车辆探测器。本申请实施例中，芯片系统可以由芯片构成，也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现终端的功能的装置是终端设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
目前，低功耗定位是定位的主流需求，并且很多用例希望在满足低功耗定位需求的同时，能够支持终端上报一些通信需求的信息。一些方案提出终端通过小包数据传输(small data transmission,SDT)的方式，将一些通信需求的信息上报到网络侧。但是这种上报方式需要终端依赖于物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)来承载信息。但是，如果为了实现信息的上报而专门支持SDT，无疑会增加终端的复杂度和功耗，这有悖于低功耗定位的需求。
为此，本申请提供一种上报信息的方法，在满足低功耗定位需求的同时，支持终端向网络上报信息。
下面介绍本申请提供的上报信息的方法。
参见图2，图2为本申请提供的上报信息的方法的示意性流程图。
210、终端设备确定功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的 信息。
具体地，终端设备可以通过内置的处理器、传感器、外部接口等获取相应的参量的信息。
示例性地，功耗参量包括如下一项或多项：电量等级、能耗状态和待机时间。例如，终端设备可以通过电量计等直接获取当前消耗或剩余的电量，或者通过电池的电阻值、电流值和电压值等参数计算出当前消耗或剩余的电量，或者其它方式获取功耗参量相关的信息。可选地，电量等级可以为终端的剩余电量的等级，或者已经消耗的电量的等级。可选地，待机时间可以为终端剩余的待机时间，或者终端已经使用的待机时间。
运动参量包括如下一项或多项：终端设备是否处于运动状态、终端设备是否处于高速或低速运动状态、运动速度等级、运动方向和运动姿势。例如，终端设备可以通过陀螺仪或测速器或速度传感器等直接获取当前的运动速度/方向/姿势，或者通过运动时间、运动距离等参数计算出当前的运动速度/方向/姿势，或者通过外部接口的信息传输(例如，与网络的信息交互)获取所述终端设备运动参量相关的信息。
通知参量包括如下一项或多项：高电量指示、低电量指示、高能耗指示、低能耗指示、高速移动指示、低速移动指示、工作模式指示、紧急呼救告警和地理围栏告警。其中，紧急呼救告警(或称SOS告警)包括110告警、火警告警、地震告警、自然灾害告警等。
另外，地理围栏告警是针对终端设备移动出或者进入某个特定区域的告警。
例如，高电量指示、低电量指示等参量的信息获取方式同功耗参量的获取方式；高速移动指示、低速移动指示、地理围栏告警等参量的信息获取方式同运动参量的获取方式；关于紧急呼救告警，终端设备可以通过地震仪、温度传感器等直接获取当前的终端状态，或者通过外部接口的信息传输(如与其它终端的信息交互)获取所述终端设备告警参量相关的信息。
需求参量包括终端设备的QoS需求。
进一步地，QoS需求包括定位精度、时延、可靠性、待机时间等。例如，终端设备可以自行判断或确定当前的QoS需求，或者通过外部接口的信息传输(例如，与网络的信息交互)获取所述终端设备需求参量相关的信息。
应理解，以上各参量的列举仅是作为示例，基于具体的应用场景，各参量也可以配置更少或者更多的项，本申请不作限定。
220、终端设备根据至少一项参量的信息，发送一个或多个参考信号。第一设备接收来自于终端设备的该一个或多个参考信号。
具体地，终端设备根据至少一项参量的信息和对应关系，发送一个或多个参考信号。
其中，所述对应关系为P个参考信号和Q个信息之间的对应关系，P和Q为正整数。
应理解，步骤220中终端设备发送的一个或多个参考信号属于该P个参考信号；以及，终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息属于该Q个信息。其中，该Q个信息包括如下至少一项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
可选地，第一设备可以为网络设备。示例性地，网络设备可以为基站，例如，gNB或NG-eNB；或者，第一设备还可以为定位管理设备，例如LMF等。
可选地，第一设备还可以为另一个终端设备。因此，本申请的技术方案也适用于侧行链路(sidelink,SL)或短距通信(如蓝牙、无线保真(wireless-fidelity,WiFi)、无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)等)中信息的发送。
在本申请中，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，因此，终端设备发送P个参考信号中的一个或多个参考信号，也即终端设备发送该一个或多个参考信号各自对应的信息。
例如，P个参考信号包括第一参考信号，第一参考信号对应Q个信息中的第一信息。终端设备发送第一参考信号也即终端设备发送第一信息，或者说，终端设备通过发送第一参考信号实现第一信息的发送，或者说，终端设备通过第一参考信号携带或指示第一信息。这里，第一参考信号为P个参考信号中的任意一个参考信号。
在本申请中，以第一参考信号对应第一信息为例，第一参考信号对应第一信息，可以有如下理解：
第一参考信号隐式指示第一信息；
第一参考信号携带第一信息；
第一参考信号与第一信息具有对应关系(或者说，关联关系、映射关系)；或者，
第一设备接收来自于终端设备的第一参考信号，则第一设备获取到第一信息。
可以理解，在P个参考信号对应Q个信息的基础上，终端设备通过发送参考信号，就可以实现与该参考信号对应信息的上报。
在一种可能的实现中，P个参考信号对应Q个信息可以是预定义的，终端设备和所述第一设备均知晓P个参考信号与Q个信息的对应关系。在这种实现中，由于参考信号承载了对应的信息，并且不需要再专门配置P个参考信号和Q个信息的对应关系，因此，预定义的方式可以进一步降低终端设备的复杂度和信令开销，并降低终端设备的功耗。
在另一种可能实现中，第一设备通向终端设备发送P个参考信号的配置信息，配置信息中包含所述对应关系。可选地，方法200还可以包括步骤230。
230、第一设备向终端设备发送P个参考信号的配置信息，终端设备来自于第一设备的所述P个参考信号的配置信息。其中，配置信息包括所述P个参考信号和Q个信息的对应关系。
可选地，在一些实现中，P个参考信号包括第一参考信号，Q个信息包括第一信息，第一参考信号对应第一信息，第一信息指示功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量或需求参量的信息。
也即，第一参考信号唯一对应终端设备的上述至少一项参量中的一个参量的信息，或者说第一参考信号与上述至少一项参量中的一个参量的信息一一对应。
可选地，在一些实现中，P个参考信号包括第二参考信号，Q个信息包括第二信息，第二参考信号对应第二信息，第二信息指示如下至少两项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
也即，第二参考信号对应终端设备的两项或两项以上的参量的信息。
应理解，Q个信息可以全部为第一信息，或者Q个信息可以全部为第二信息，或者，Q个信息同时包括第一信息和第二信息。
由于参考信号和终端设备的参量的信息之间的对应关系，由此，终端设备向第一设备发送一个或多个参考信号，相当于终端设备向第一设备发送了与该一个或多个参考信号对应的所述至少一项参量的信息。
在第一设备为网络设备的实现中，配置信息可以通过下行控制信息、媒体访问控制(medium access control,MAC)信令或无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令等传输给终端设备。在第一设备为终端设备的实现中，配置信息可以由另一个终端设备通过侧行链路(sidelink,SL)消息或其它短距通信消息，例如，蓝牙、无线保真(wireless-fidelity,WiFi)、无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)等传输给终端设备，本申请对此不作限制。
240、第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号，获取与该一个或多个参考信号对应的所述至少一项参量的信息。
第一设备接收来自于终端设备的该一个或多个参考信号，相当于第一设备从终端设备接收了与该一个或多个参考信号对应的参量的信息。因此，第一设备根据接收到的一个或多个参考信号，可以获知终端设备上报的与该一个或多个参考信号对应的所述至少一项参量的信息。
在本申请实施例中，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，基于该对应关系，终端通过发送参考信号的方式上报信息，可以不依赖于数据信道而实现信息的上报，可以降低终端设备的复杂度和信令开销，从而降低终端设备的功耗，满足低功耗定位的需求。
在上述各实施例中，P个参考信号中任意两个参考信号至少如下一项不同：
发送周期、参考信号图案和参考信号序列。
为了描述上的方便和清楚，示例性地，下文从发送周期、参考信号图案和参考信号序列三个维度中的一个或多个维度来描述一个参考信号，所述“多个”是指两个或两个以上。可选地，也可以采用三个以上的维度来描述一个参考信号，不作限定。
可选地，当只关注参考信号的部分维度的情况下，可以采用上述三个维度中的一个或两个维度(也即，仅采用部分维度而非全部维度)来描述一个参考信号。
例如，S0,S1,S2和S3为4个参考信号，所述4个参考信号的参考信号序列不同。其中S0～S3分别表示4种不同的参考信号序列。
又例如，(S0，T1),(S0，T2),(S0，T3)和(S0，T4)为4个参考信号，所述4个参考信号的发送周期不同。其中，T1～T4分别表示4个不同的发送周期。
又例如，(S0，p1),(S0，p2),(S0，p3)和(S0，p4)为4个参考信号，所述4个参考信号的参考信号图案不同，其中，p1～p4分别表示4种不同的参考信号图案。
又例如，(S0,T1,p1),(S0,T2,p2),(S1,T1,p3)和(S2,T2,p2)为4个参考信号，分别记作参考信号1～参考信号4，其中，
参考信号1和参考信号2的发送周期不同，且参考信号图案不同；
参考信号1和参考信号3的参考信号序列不同，且参考信号图案不同；
参考信号2和参考信号4的参考信号序列不同。
参考信号3和参考信号4的参考信号序列不同，发送周期不同，且参考信号图案也不同。
图3和图4为本申请提供的多个参考信号的示例。
如图3，图3中示出了4个不同的参考信号，该4个参考信号的发送周期不同，其它特征(参考信号序列和参考信号图案)均相同。
如图4，图4中示出了3个参考信号，分别为参考信号1～参考信号3。其中，参考信号1～参考信号3的发送周期相同，但参考信号序列不同或参考信号图案不同。例如，参考信号1采用参考信号序列S0，参考信号图案为p1，示例性地，p1可以用“111”来表示，p1表示在连续3个符号上发送序列S0；参考信号2采用参考信号序列S1，参考信号图案为p2，示例性地，p2可以为“101”来表示，p2表示在连续3个符号的第一个符号和第三个符号上发送序列S1，而在中间的一个符号上不发送序列S1；参考信号3采用参考信号序列S2，参考信号图案为p3，示例性地，p3可以用“110”来表示，p3表示在连续3个符号的前面两个符号上发送序列S2，而在第三个符号上不发送S2。
另外，P个参考信号中的任意两个或多个参考信号，还可配置如下一项或多项的不同：
发送优先级、起始发送时间、结束发送时间和发送持续时长。
另外，为了增加终端设备的容量，所述P个参考信号中至少有一个参考信号是用于定位的参考信号。
如上文所述，Q个信息为终端设备的至少一项参量的信息。所述至少一项参量包括但不限于功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量。
下面对终端设备的这几项参量进行示例说明。
以下说明中，符号“/”表示该符号前后关联对象是“或”的关系，例如，a/b，表示a，或者b。
(1)功耗参量
与反映终端设备的功耗相关的参量，包括但不限于电量等级、能耗状态以及待机时间等。
电量等级可以表示终端设备的剩余电量的等级，可以预先将终端设备的电量划分为4个电量等级。例如，剩余电量大于75％为电量等级4，剩余电量大于50％且小于或等于75％为电量等级3，剩余电量大于25％且小于或等于50％为电量等级2，剩余电量小于或等于25％为电量等级1。当终端设备的剩余电量满足某一个电量等级对应的电量阈值范围，终端设备上报相应的电量等级。可选地，电量等级也可以表示终端设备已经消耗的电量等级，不作限定。
能耗状态(例如，单位能耗)可以反映终端设备的能量的降耗状况。终端设备可以每隔一段时间上报一次能耗状态。
待机时间反映了终端设备在待机状态下，电池靠自身消耗到关机或者达到低电量门限之间所能维持的时间。可选地，待机时间可以为终端设备剩余的待机时间，或者也可以为终端已经使用的待机时间，不作限定。
可以看到，这些功耗参量可以从不同的角度或者方面反映终端设备的功耗。终端设备通过上报功耗参量，可以帮助第一设备(例如，网络侧设备)判断终端设备的功耗情况，从而作出相应的决策，例如更换电池、调整资源分配策略等。
如上文所述可知，终端设备发送功耗参量(例如，电量等级、能耗状态以及待机时间等)，具体是发送和这这些功耗参量的信息对应的参考信号。
例如，终端设备被预设定了4个电量等级，分别为电量等级1～电量等级4，这4个电量等级的信息分别对应4个参考信号，分别为参考信号1～参考信号4。当终端设备检测到自身的剩余电量达到电量等级3，终端设备则发送和电量等级3的信息对应的参考信号，即发送参考信号3。当终端设备检测到剩余电量达到电量等级4，终端设备则发送与电量等级4的信息对应的参考信号4。
以第一设备为网络设备为例，由于参考信号和终端设备的功耗参量的信息之间的对应关系，当网络侧接收到来自于终端设备的参考信号3，即接收到终端设备的电量等级3的信息。网络侧接收到终端设备发送的参考信号4，即接收到该终端设备的电量等级4的信息。
(2)运动参量
与反映终端设备的运动情况相关的参量，包括但不限于终端设备是否处于运动状态、终端设备是否处于高速/低速运动状态、运动速度等级、运动方向和运动姿势等。
以运动速度等级为例，设定若干个运动速度等级，例如，设定4个运动速度等级，每个运动速度等级分别对应终端设备的一个运动速度的区间或强度，例如，静止对应运动速度等级1，慢速移动对应运动速度等级2，中速移动对应运动速度等级3，快速移动对应运动速度等级4。其中，静止、慢速、中速和快速分别对应一定的速率区间，具体可以通过设定速率门限来判定终端设备当前的移动速度。又或者，设定6个运动等级，分别为静止、慢速步行、中速步行、慢跑、中速跑或者快跑。终端设备的移动情况可以通过陀螺仪或计速器等传感器检测获得，或通过计算的方式获得，或直接通过外部接口与其他设备/网络进行信息交互获得。
再例如，运动方向反映终端设备的移动方向，可以根据具体的应用场景设置粗粒度的方向或细粒度的方向。例如，以粗粒度的方向为例，以某个位置作为参考点，检测终端设备朝向该参考点的东、西、南、北哪个方向移动，或者以终端设备本身为参考点，运动方向可以包括上升、下降、前进、后退、左移、右移等。或者，以细粒度的方向为例，以一定地理范围作为参考，为该地理范围设定若干个主要的标志建筑，检测终端设备朝向该若干个标志建筑的哪个建筑移动等。
运动姿势可以应用于一些特定的终端设备的运动状态的描述，例如，无人机和增强现实(augmented reality,AR)/虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备，运动姿势包括运动姿态(如横滚、俯仰、偏航等)、模式(如定位模式、姿态模式、运动模式等)等。
可以看到，这些运动参量可以从不同的角度或者方面反映终端设备的运动状态。终端设备通过上报运动参量，可以帮助第一设备(例如，网络侧设备)了解终端设备的运动情况，达到监测终端设备的目的，例如监狱管理系统的人员监测、智慧农场的传感器监测、操作无人机等场景。
与功耗参量类似，假设终端设备被预设定了3个运动等级，分别为运动等级1～运动等级3，这3个运动等级的信息分别对应3个参考信号，分别为参考信号5～参考信号7。当终端设备检测到自身的运动速度达到运动等级3，终端设备则发送和运动等级3的信息对应的参考信号，即发送参考信号7。
再例如，P个参考信号中还包括参考信号8，参考信号8对应终端设备处于高速运动状态。当终端设备检测到自身的运动速度达到高速运动，则终端设备发送参考信号8。
以第一设备为网络设备为例，由于参考信号和终端设备的运动参量的信息之间的对应关系，当网络侧接收到来自于终端设备的参考信号7，即获知终端设备达到运动等级3的信息。网络侧接收到终端设备发送的参考信号8，即获知终端设备处于高速运动状态的信息。
(3)通知参量
与通知终端设备的各种告警相关的参量。包括但不限于高电量指示、低电量指示、高能耗指示、低能耗指示、高速移动指示、低速移动指示、紧急呼救告警(或称SOS告警)、地理围栏告警、火警告警、地震告警、自然灾害告警、工作模式指示等。
可选地，工作模式可以包括休眠模式、节电模式、低功耗模式、正常模式、运动模式、静止模式、通信模式和定位模式等。
应理解，这些工作模式是从不同的角度来描述终端设备的工作情况的，在具体实现中，不限于配置其中的几个或全部的工作模式，并建立其与参考信号的对应关系。当终端设备的工作模式发生切换的情况下，终端设备通过发送相应的参考信号，来指示工作模式的切换。
以低电量指示为例，当终端设备的剩余电量等于或低于设定的电量门限，终端设备会发送低电量指示。例如，设定的电量门限为10％，当终端设备的剩余电量等于或低于10％，终端设备发送低电量指示。
以紧急呼救告警为例，当终端设备检测到触发紧急呼救告警的操作时，终端设备发出紧急呼救告警。
以地理围栏告警为例，预先设定地理围栏，当检测到终端设备的地理位置满足位置阈值范围，终端设备发送地理围栏告警。
以火灾告警为例，当终端设备检测到周围环境达到预设的告警阈值范围，终端设备发送火灾告警。例如，当终端设备检测到周围温度达到预设定的温度阈值，同时检测到烟雾浓度达到预设定的浓度阈值，终端设备发送火灾告警。
如上文所述，终端设备发送通知参量(例如，高电量指示、低电量指示、高能耗指示、低能耗指示、高速移动指示、低速移动指示、工作模式指示、紧急呼救告警、地理围栏告警或火灾告警等)，具体是发送和这这些通知参量的信息对应的参考信号。
例如，P个参考信号包括参考信号9，参考信号9对应低电量指示。终端设备发送低电量指示，具体是发送参考信号9。网络侧接收到来自于终端设备的参考信号9，即接收到终端设备的低电量指示的信息。再例如，P个参考信号还包括参考信号10，参考信号10对应地理围栏告警，当终端设备检测到自身的地理位置满足位置阈值范围，则发送参考信号10。网络侧接收到终端设备发送的参考信号10，即接收到该终端设备的地理围栏告警的信息。
终端设备通过上报通知参量，可以帮助第一设备(例如，网络侧设备)及时了解终端设备是否处于紧急情况，便于采取相应措施，例如及时对发送通知参量的终端进行寻找和救援。
(4)需求参量。
与反映终端设备的需求相关的参量，包括但不限于QoS需求。
示例性地，QoS需求包括定位精度、时延和可靠性等级。
以定位精度为例，假设为终端设备设定2个定位精度，分别为定位精度1和定位精度2，定位精度1和定位精度2对应参考信号11～参考信号12。当终端设备在一些定位场景中支持定位精度2，则终端设备发送参考信号12。以第一设备为网络设备为例，在具体的定位场景中，网络侧接收到来自于终端设备的参考信号12，则获知终端设备支持定位精度2的信息。
可以理解的是，基于本申请技术方案的思路，本领域技术人员可以在具体的应用场景下，配置合适的参量，并建立参考信号与所配置的参量的信息之间的对应关系，从而终端通过发送参考信号，隐式指示与该参考信号对应的参量的信息，实现这些参量的信息的上报。相比于终端设备依赖PUSCH上报信息的方案，可以降低终端设备的复杂度和功耗。尤其在低功耗定位场景下，通过定位参考信号隐式上报终端设备的相关参量的信息，更符合低功耗定位的需求。
在本申请中，针对P个参考信号中的一个参考信号而言，该参考信号唯一对应Q个信息中的一个信息，该信息可以是终端设备的一项参量的信息，也可以是至少两项(两项或两项以上)参量的信息。
换句话说，针对Q个信息中的一个信息来说，该信息可以为一个参量的信息，也可以为多个参量的信息的组合。所述“多个”是指两个或两个以上。
当然，上述两种实现可以结合使用。例如，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，Q个信息中的部分信息仅指示终端设备的一个参量的信息，部分信息指示多个参量的信息。
下面对P个参考信号对应Q个信息进行举例说明。
为了描述的方便，首先假设终端设备支持Q个信息的上报。作为一个示例，Q＝13，该13个信息如表1中所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022127023-appb-000001
如表1中所示，Q个信息中的每个信息为终端设备的一个参量的信息。
例如，a1对应低电量指示，a2对应紧急呼救告警；b1对应电量等级1，b3对应电量等级3；c1对应速度等级1，c3对应速度等级3；d2对应定位精度2，d4对应目标时延2。
在本申请中，P个参考信号和该Q个信息对应，有多种可能的实现方式。
在一种可能的实现中，P＝Q。
在这种实现中，P个参考信号中的每个参考信号唯一对应Q个信息中的一个信息，也即，Q个参考信号一一对应Q个信息，如表2中的示例。
在该实现方式中，以P＝Q＝9为例进行说明，如表2的示例。
表2
Figure PCTCN2022127023-appb-000002
在P等于Q实现中，P个参考信号中的每个参考信号唯一对应Q个信息中的一个信息，并且，Q个信息中的每个信息唯一指示一个参量的信息，因此，参考信号所隐含指示的参量的信息非常明确，可以实现终端设备的参量的精准指示。
在另一种实现中，P大于Q。
在这种实现中，P个参考信号中的部分参考信号可以对应Q个信息中的同一个信息。例如，P个参考信号中包括参考信号a和参考信号b，参考信号a和参考信号b对应Q个信息中的同一个信息。此时，对于P个参考信号中的每个参考信号而言，都唯一对应Q个信息中的一个信息。而从Q个信息中的一个信息的角度来看，可能一个信息对应一个或多个参考信号，所述“多个”是指两个或两个以上。如表3中的示例。
表3
Figure PCTCN2022127023-appb-000003
如表3中所示，参考信号3和参考信号4均对应电量等级1，参考信号7和参考信号8均对应运动速度等级2。
另外，在表3的示例中，Q个信息中的每个信息为终端设备的一个参量的信息，而P个参考信号中的每个参考信号唯一对应Q个信息中的一个信息，因此，P个参考信号中的每个参考信号对应终端设备的一个参量的信息。
在P大于Q的实现中，设计多个参考信号对应同一个信息的情况，可以根据终端设备所处的状态、环境或需求进行适配。
示例性地，当不同的参考信号对应Q个信息中的同一个信息时，不同的参考信号可以适用于不同的QoS需求(例如，功耗需求)。例如，表3中，参考信号7的发送周期和参考信号8的发送周期不同，假设，参考信号7的发送周期比参考信号8的发送周期更密集，则当终端设备的剩余电量较高时，可以采用参考信号7上报运动速度等级2；而当终端设备的剩余电量较低时，可以采用参考信号8上报运动速度等级2。可见，这样的方式可以更好地与终端的剩余电量进行适配。
此外，在另一种实现中，P小于Q。
表4
P个参考信号(P＝4) Q个信息(Q＝6) Q个信息各自指示的参量的信息
参考信号1 a1，a2 运动速度等级1，运动速度等级2
参考信号2 b2 紧急呼救告警
参考信号3 c1 电量等级1
参考信号4 c2，c3 电量等级2，电量等级3
如表4的示例，参考信号1对应a1和a2，a1和a2均为运动参量的信息，参考信号4对应c2和c3，c2和c3均为功耗参量的信息。例如，运动速度等级1表示静止，运动速度等级2表示低速运动，a1和a2均表示终端设备处于相对低速移动的状态。电量等级2表示终端设备的剩余电量在75％以上，电量等级3表示终端设备的剩余电量在90％以上，c2和c3均表示终端设备的剩余电量处于比较充足的状态。终端设备的这些状态不需要网络侧作特别的处理，因此，通过一个参考信号来对应一个参量的不同信息，可以提高参考信号资源的利用率。
以上这些举例仅是作为示例。本领域技术人员可以在此设计思路下，针对具体的应用场景，有针对性的配置P个参考信号和Q个信息的对应关系，以获得更优的系统性能。
在上述各实施例中，P个参考信号中的每个参考信号唯一对应终端设备的一个参量的信息。
具体地，P个参考信号对应Q个信息，P个参考信号包括第一参考信号，Q个信息中包括第一信息，第一参考信号对应第一信息，第一信息指示终端设备的一个参量的信息。例如，第一信息指示功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量或需求参量中的一个参量的信息。
可选地，第一参考信号可以为一个或多个，不作限制。
可选地，P个参考信号中包括第二参考信号，Q个信息中包括第二信息，第二参考信号对应第二信息，第二信息指示终端设备的如下至少两项参量的信息：
功耗参量；
运动参量；
通知参量；
需求参量。
换句话说，P个参考信号中的第二参考信号，指示两个或两个以上参量的信息。
下面以表5中的示例对该实现方式进行说明。
假设Q＝7，该Q个信息分别记作q1～q7。同时假设P＝Q＝7，该7个参考信号分别记作参考信号1～参考信号7。其中，参考信号1～参考信号7与q1～q7之间的对应关系如表4中所示。
表5
Figure PCTCN2022127023-appb-000004
如表5，参考信号1对应q1，q1指示低电量指示和运动速度等级3的信息，也即q1指示功耗参量和运动参量的信息；
参考信号2对应q2,q2指示紧急呼救告警的信息，也即q2指示通知参量的信息；
参考信号3对应q3,q3指示紧急呼救告警和电量等级1的信息，也即q3指示通知参量和功耗参量的信息；
参考信号4对应q4,q4指示紧急呼救告警和运动速度等级3的信息，也即q4指示通知参量和运动参量的信息；
参考信号5对应q5,q5指示电量等级2和运动速度等级2的信息，也即q5指示功耗参量和运动参量的信息；
参考信号6对应q6，q6指示电量等级3和运动速度等级2的信息，也即q6指示功耗参量和运动参量的信息；
参考信号7对应q7，q7指示电量等级4的信息，也即q7指示功耗参量。
在表4的示例中，参考信号1,3,4,5,6各自对应Q个信息中的两个信息，或者说，参考信号1,3,4,5,6中的每个参考信号分别指示(或携带)Q个参量中的两个参量的信息。参考信号2和参考信号7分别对应Q个信息中的一个信息，也即参考信号2或参考信号7均指示一个参量的信息。
在表5的示例中，P＝Q。应理解，按照上述实施例中P大于Q，或者P小于Q的实现，在第二参考信号指示至少两个参量的信息的情况下，P和Q之间的关系也可以设计为P大于Q，或者P小于Q，本文不作限定。
P小于Q的设计在一些应用场景中可以节省参考信号资源的开销，进一步降低终端设 备的功耗。
例如，假设表4中电量等级2表示剩余电量为80％以上，同时运动速度等级2表示低速运动或静止，则终端设备无论上报电量等级2或运动速度等级2的信息，对于网络侧而言，都是相对不需要紧急处理的情况，因此，可以通过一个参考信号(例如，表4中的参考信号4)同时对应电量等级2和运动等级2。如果网络侧接收到参考信号4，虽然无法区分是针对电量等级2的上报还是针对运动等级2的上报，但是均不需要作特别的处理。当然，也可以为参考信号4配置不同的发送时间来区分(或者其它区分方式)电量等级2的上报或运动等级2的上报。而紧急呼救告警，是需要网络侧优先处理且等级非常高的信息上报，因此需要配置一个参考信号(例如，表4中的参考信号2)唯一对应紧急呼救告警的信息，使得网络侧在接收到参考信号2时，可以唯一且快速识别到终端设备的紧急呼救告警的信息。
一个参考信号指示多个参量的信息，可以提升资源利用率，并且进一步降低功耗。另外，对于一些参量的特定组合的信息，这种上报联合信息的方式具有实际意义。
如上文所述，P个参考信号中包括二参考信号，第二参考信号对应Q个信息中的第二信息，第二信息指示终端设备的至少两项参量的信息。示例性地，第二信息指示如下参量的信息：
通知参量和功耗参量；
通知参量和运动参量；
通知参量和需求参量；或者
功耗参量和运动参量。
换句话说，第二参考信号对应两个或两个以上的参量的组合信息。终端设备通过发送第二参考信号，可以实现两个或两个以上的参量的信息的组合上报。
下面对Q个参量中的两个或两个以上参量的信息的组合上报进行示例说明。
换句话说，本申请中的Q个信息中的第二信息可以指示如下参量的组合上报。
在一个实施例中，低电量指示和高速运动状态的组合上报，表示终端设备处于低电量并且高速移动的状态，适用于养老院的人员安全监测场景中。
在另一个实施例中，紧急呼救告警和电量等级(例如，较低剩余电量对应的电量等级)的组合上报，表示终端设备处于危险环境且终端设备的电量不足，可能导致失联，适用于一些紧急救援的场景中。
在另一个实施例中，紧急呼救告警和高速运动状态的组合上报，表示终端设备处于危险环境且快速移动，适用于监控危险人员、被绑架人员紧急呼救的场景中。
在另一个实施例，电量等级(例如，较高剩余电量对应的电量等级)和运动速度等级(例如，较低运动速度对应的运动速度等级)的组合上报，表示终端设备处于高电量且低速运动状态，网络侧可以认为终端设备处于相对“安全”的状态，可以不采取任何紧急措施。
应理解，上述实施例仅列出了两个参量的信息的部分组合上报作为示例，其余组合形式也在本申请的保护范围内。应理解，一个参考信号也可以对应两个以上参量的信息的组合上报，例如，一个参考信号对应三个参量或更多参量的信息的组合上报，具体可以根据应用场景的需求进行配置。
可选地，P个参考信号的配置信息还包括所述Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的如下一项或多项：
起始上报时间；
结束上报时间；
上报持续时长；
上报的周期。
其中，起始上报时间用于指示终端设备开始执行所述Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的上报的时间；
结束上报时间用于指示终端设备停止所述Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的上报的时间；
上报持续时长用于指示终端设备从开始执行所述Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的上报的时间，到停止所述一个或多个信息的上报之间的时长；
上报的周期用于指示所述Q个信息中的周期上报的一个或多个信息的上报的周期。
应理解，Q个参量的信息的上报可以采用周期性、半持续或非周期上报的方式，或者这些方式的结合。
例如，有一些参量适合于周期上报，而一些参量的信息适合于半持续或非周期上报。此外，针对一个参量而言，也可以是这些方式相结合来上报。
例如，功耗参量在多数情况下适合于周期上报，例如，每隔一段时间(例如，一个月)上报剩余电量的电量等级。例如，也可以采用半持续的方式上报功耗参量，例如对于一些待机时间较长的终端设备，可以在经过一段时间(例如3个月)后，再每隔一段时间(例如，每周)上报剩余电量等级。在一些情况下也适合于非周期上报，例如，只要当剩余电量低于20％时，即触发剩余电量的上报。
又例如，通知参量大多适合于非周期上报，例如，低电量指示、紧急呼救告警等。
再例如，针对运动参量，采用周期上报的方式上报陀螺仪的移动等级；或者，采用非周期上报的方式，当终端设备的运动速度(或者说，终端设备的陀螺仪的移动速度)达到某一个运动等级，则上报相应的运动等级。
对于采用周期上报的参量，网络侧检测参考信号的操作比较简单，只需要按照该参考信号的发送周期，在相应的上报时间检测该参考信号即可，不需要进行盲检(随时随刻检测该参考信号)。
对于采用非周期上报的参量，终端设备仅在满足一定上报条件的情况下才执行信息的上报，终端设备的功耗更低。
对于采用周期和非周期结合上报的参量，上报方式更为灵活，甚至可以针对一个参量的上报需求，考虑不同的上报方式。
可选地，配置信息中还可以包括该参量的起始上报时间和结束上报时间以及上报周期。或者，配置信息中包括起始上报时间和上报持续时间等。
此外，配置信息中还包括Q个信息中的一个或多个信息的上报条件。示例性地，该一个或多个信息的上报条件包括如下一项或多项：
告警阈值范围；
位置阈值范围；
电量阈值范围；
运动速度阈值范围；
能耗阈值范围；
工作模式变更；
需求变更；
所述一个或多个信息的上报优先级顺序。
示例性地，告警阈值范围是针对终端设备的环境信息或终端状态信息(如电量、运动速度等)设定的；位置阈值范围是针对终端设备的地理位置设定的；电量阈值是针对终端设备的剩余电量设定的；运动速度阈值范围是针对终端设备的运动速度设定的；能耗阈值范围是针对终端设备已经消耗或者剩余的能量设定的。
此外，工作模式变更表示终端设备的工作模式发生变化，例如，当终端设备的工作模式从“正常模式”变更为“节电模式”时，终端设备可以通过发送相应的参考信号指示该变化。
需求变更表示终端设备的需求发生变化，例如，当终端设备对定位精度的需求从“10米”变更为“1米”时，终端设备可以通过发送相应的参考信号指示该变化。
示例性地，终端设备的环境信息可以包括终端设备的地理位置、周围的温度、烟雾的浓度、地震等级、自然灾害等级以及类型(例如，寒潮、山洪、台风或冰雹等)等。
在一个实施例中，当终端设备的环境信息满足告警阈值的范围，终端设备上报相应的通知参量(例如，火灾告警、紧急呼救告警)的信息，网络侧可以执行相应的操作或处理，例如寻找并救援终端设备。
在另一个实施例中，当终端设备的剩余电量低于预设定的低电量门限，终端设备上报通知参量和/或功耗参量的信息(例如，发送低电量指示和/或剩余电量的电量等级)，可以提醒网络侧更换终端设备的电池。
在另一个实施例中，当终端设备的运动速度高于预设定的高运动速度门限，终端设备上报运动参量(例如，运动等级)的信息，适用于人员监测的场景。
在另一个实施例中，当终端设备的运动速度低于预设定的低运动速度门限，终端设备上报运动参量(例如，运动等级)的信息，适用于物联网传感器监测的场景中。
此外，示例性地，上报的优先级顺序可用于不同的参考信号发送时的冲突解决。例如，当两个参考信号的发送发生冲突时，例如所述两个参考信号的序列、发送周期、发送图案均相同，并且同时满足上报条件时，终端设备可以根据这两个参考信号的上报优先级顺序来发送这两个参考信号。示例性地，网络侧或者终端设备可以预先配置Q个信息或Q个信息中的部分信息的上报优先级顺序；或者，预先设置Q个信息的上报偏移量(相对于原上报周期的偏移量)；可选地，Q个信息的上报偏移量也可以由第一设备发送给终端设备；或者，在出现冲突的情况下，终端设备也可以不上报任何信息，本申请对此不作限定。
可选地，上述上报条件对于周期、半持续或非周期上报都是适用的。
可选地，方法200还可以包括步骤250。
250、第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号对应的参量的信息，执行相应操作或处理。
在上文提及的不同的应用场景下，第一设备根据该一个或多个参考信号对应的参量的信息，可以执行相应的操作或处理，具体参见上文针对不同场景的示例说明，这里不再赘 述。
应理解，对于一些不需要第一设备执行特别处理或操作的应用场景下，步骤250为可选操作。例如，对于终端设备上报的高电量指示的信息，第一设备获取该高电量指示的信息之后，默认为不需要作任何处理或操作。
本文中提及的参考信号不限于为用于定位的参考信号，也可以为非定位用途的参考信号。在一种实现中，P个参考信号全部为定位用途的参考信号，该定位用途的参考信号例如可以为上行链路探测参考信号(uplink sounding reference signal,UL SRS)，可以为定位参考信号(positioning reference signal,PRS)，可以是用于多天线系统的探测参考信号，例如，多入多出(multi-input-multi-output,MIMO)-SRS信号，可以为同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)信号，或者是其它可用于定位的参考信号，本申请不作限定。在这种实现中，终端在上报信息的同时，网络侧接收到用于定位的定位参考信号，定位服务不会被中断。在另一种实现中，P个参考信号中的部分参考信号为定位用途的参考信号，此外还包括非定位用途的参考信号。在这种实现中，在非上报时刻或不满足上报条件时，终端发送定位参考信号用于定位；在其余情况下，终端设备发送非定位用途的参考信号。在总的定位参考信号数目有限的情况下，这种实现可以提高网络中的终端容量。
在本申请提供的上报信息的方法中，终端设备发送一个或多个参考信号，该一个或多个参考信号对应终端设备的功耗参量、运动参量、通知参量和需求参量中的至少一项参量的信息。由于参考信号和所述至少一项参量的信息的对应关系，因此，终端设备通过发送一个或多个参考信号，可以实现与该一个或多个参考信号对应的参量的信息的上报，可以降低终端设备的功耗，更符合低功耗定位的需求。
此外，也可以降低终端设备的复杂度和系统的资源浪费。
此外，本申请中的终端设备不支持通过PUSCH上报所述Q个信息中的一个或多个信息。
特别地，针对RRC_INACTIVE状态的终端而言，采用本申请的技术方案，终端设备可以不依赖于PUSCH进行信息的上报。相比于采用PUSCH上报信息，通过发送参考信号(例如，用于定位的参考信号)实现与该参考信号对应的信息的上报，可以进一步降低终端设备的功耗。换句话说，终端设备无需支持通过PUSCH进行信息上报，即可实现通信需求信息的上报。特别地，对于RRC_INACTIVE状态的终端而言，终端仅需发送用于定位的参考信号，就能实现相应信息的上报，而不需要在发送用于定位的参考信号之外，再单独通过PUSCH上报信息。因此，相比于RRC_INACTIVE状态的终端通过PUSCH上报信息的方案，本申请的技术方案能进一步降低RRC_INACTIVE状态的终端的功耗。
本申请提供的上报信息的方法，通过配置或预配置P个参考信号与终端设备的至少一项参量的信息对应，使得终端设备通过发送参考信号，实现与该参考信号对应的参量的信息的上报，有利于终端设备功耗的降低。
下面结合图5，给出一个本申请提供的上报信息的方法在定位场景下的应用示例。在该示例中，以基站作为第一设备的示例。
参见图5，图5为本申请提供的上报信息的方法应用于定位场景中的一个示例。
501、AMF本身可代表目标UE启动一些位置服务，或者5GC LCS实体，例如，网关移动位置中心(gateway mobile location center,GMLC)，将与目标UE相关的位置服务请求 发送给AMF，或者UE处发起定位请求。
502、AMF将位置服务请求(例如，location service request)转发给LMF。
503、LPP能力传输(LPP capability transfer)。
其中，LPP表示LTE定位协议(LTE positioning protocol)，是LMF与UE之间的信令协议。
示例性地，LMF通过LPP消息(例如，LPP request capabilities)向UE请求定位能力；UE通过LPP消息(例如，LPP provide capabilities)提供定位能力，例如发送LPP provide capabilities。
504、LMF通过NRPPa消息(例如，NRPPa positioning information request)向NG-RAN请求定位相关信息，例如，UL-SRS配置信息。
其中，NRPPa表示NR定位协议(NR positioning protocol annex)，是LMF与基站之间的信令协议。
应理解，步骤503中的LPP消息以及步骤504中的NRPPa消息仅是示例，在不同的通信系统，或定位架构下，位置服务相关的消息名称可能不同，不作限制。
505、基站侧确定UL-SRS的相关配置。
506、基站将UL-SRS的配置信息通过RRC消息发给UE。
这里，作为一种可能的实现方式，基站侧向UE发送UL-SRS的配置信息，该UL-SRS的配置信息包括W个UL-SRS和Q个信息的对应关系，W为大于或等于1的正整数。上述实施例中所述的P个参考信号的配置信息，即可以对应步骤506中的UL-SRS的配置信息。
可选地，作为另一种实现方式，如果P个参考信号和Q个信息的对应关系是预配置的，则步骤506的UL-SRS的配置信息中可以包括W个UL-SRS的配置信息，而不包含所述对应关系。
可选地，作为一个示例，W＝P，即P个参考信号全部为定位用途的参考信号，则步骤506中的UL-SRS的配置信息包含该P个参考信号的相关配置。在该实现中，终端在上报信息的同时，网络侧即接收到定位参考信号，可用于定位，定位服务不会由于信息上报而被中断。
作为另一个示例，W小于P，则P个参考信号中包括W个定位用途的参考信号，具体为所述W个UL-SRS，而剩余的(P-W)个参考信号为非定位用途的参考信号。此时，该W个用于定位的参考信号与剩余的(P-W)个非定位用途的参考信号各自的相关配置可以通过同一个配置/消息/信令下发，例如，网络侧通过步骤506中的UL-SRS的配置信息下发该P个参考信号的相关配置。或者，W个定位用途的参考信号与剩余的(P-W)个非定位用途的参考信号各自的相关配置可以单独下发，或者说，通过不同的配置/消息/信令下发，例如，W个定位用途的参考信号的相关配置包含在步骤506中的UL-SRS的配置信息中，而剩余的(P-W)个非定位用途的参考信号的相关配置则通过单独的信令配置下发，本申请不作限制。
在该实现中，在非上报时刻或不满足上报条件时，终端发送定位参考信号用于定位；在其余情况下，终端设备发送非定位用途的参考信号。在总的定位参考信号数目有限的情况下，这种实现可以提高定位终端的容量，也即提高网络中满足定位需求的终端的数量。
507、NG-RAN通过NRPPa消息(例如，NRPPa positioning information response)将定位相关信息(例如，UL-SRS的配置信息)发送给LMF。
508、服务基站激活SRS传输。
需要说明的是，仅针对非周期SRS和半持续SRS需要该激活步骤508。对于非周期SRS，基站侧通过DCI激活；对于半持续SRS，基站通过下发介质访问控制-控制元素(medium access control-control element,MAC CE)激活。
509、UE根据从基站侧接收到的UL-SRS的配置信息，发送UL-SRS。
在定位流程中，还可以包括后续步骤510-515。
510、LMF通过NRPPa消息(例如，NRPPa measurement request)向服务基站和其它定位参考基站(例如邻站)请求测量信息。
511、服务基站和其它定位参考基站(邻站)执行UL-SRS测量。
512、服务基站和其它定位参考基站(邻站)通过NRPPa消息(例如，NRPPa measurement response)将测量结果返回给LMF。
513、LMF处进行位置计算。
514-515、LMF通过定位服务响应消息，将位置信息分别返回给AMF或5GC LCS实体或UE。
应理解，图5中所示的定位流程仅是作为一个示例，用来说明本申请提供的终端上报信息的方法在定位流程中的应用。此外，本申请提供的终端上报信息的方法也适用于其它定位流程中。基于具体的应用场景或实现方式的不同，还可以有其它的定位流程。本领域技术人员基于图5中的示例，能够知晓本申请的终端上报信息的方法如何在其它定位流程中使用，本文不再一一列举。
需要说明的是，对于前述的各方法实施例，为了简单描述，故将其都表述为一系列的动作组合，但是本领域技术人员应该知悉，本申请实施例并不受所描述的动作顺序的限制，因为依据本申请实施例，某些步骤可以采用其他顺序或同时进行。其次，本领域技术人员也应该知悉，说明书中所描述的实施例均属于优选实施例，所涉及的动作和模块并不一定是本申请实施例所必须的。
