如图2所示，为本申请一示例性实施例提供的组定位方法200的流程示意图，该方法可以但不限于由第一通信设备(如终端或网络侧设备)执行，具体可由安装于第一通信设备中的硬件和/或软件执行。本实施例中，所述方法200至少可以包括如下步骤。
S210，第一通信设备获取定位组中各个通信设备的位置相关信息以及第一传播时延差异量。
可以理解，本实施例是在不需要对通信设备的收发机时钟进行校准的情况下，通过定位组实现对位于其周围的目标反射体的精准感知、定位。所述目标反射体可以是建筑物、车辆等，在此不做限制。
所述定位组可以包括所述第一通信设备在内的M个通信设备，其中，根据定位过程的不同，所述第一通信设备可以是定位过程中的目标参考信号的发送端、接收端或反射端，也可以不参与定位过程中目标参考信号的发送、接收或反射等。
当然，对于定位组中的M个通信设备，如果M大于3，那么，可以是所述M个通信设备中的全部或部分通信设备参与组定位过程，对此，可通过高层信令配置第一规则，以限定参与组定位过程中的定位设备，换言之，所述第一规则中配置了多个定位设备对的相关信息(如设备标识、需要发送的参考信号等)，每个所述定位设备对中包括至少一个发送端、至少一个反射端以及至少一个接收端，一个所述定位设备对包括所述定位组中的至少部分通信设备。
例如，当定位组中的通信设备的数量大于3的情况下，高层决定定位组中的组成员相互配对，即选取定位组中的部分或全部通信设备形成至少一个定位设备对。一种实现方式中，可以根据A～B～C的原则，A、B和C分别小于或等于(定位设备对中的组成员数－2)，即在所述定位设备对中包括的通信设备的数量为S的情况下，每个所述定位设备对中的发送端、反射端、接收端的数量均小于或等于S-2，S≥3，S为正整数。基于此，假设A＝2、B＝1、C＝2，那么，在第一资源时间有2个通信设备发送目标参考信号，1个通信设备反射目标参考信号，有2个通信设备接收目标参考信号，本实施例中采用的定位设备对互配原则，能够降低定位组定位感知的迟延，减少参考信号的开销。
需要说明的是，一个定位设备对中可以包括一个或多个第一通信设备，一个或多个第二通信设备，以及一个或多个第三通信设备。需要注意，在本实施例中，在存在多个发送端(如前述的第二通信设备)同时发送参考信号或一个发送端在不同资源上同时发送多个参考信号的情况下，各所述参考信号之间相互正交，从而避免信号干扰，提高定位精度。
进一步，所述第一通信设备获取的定位组中的各通信设备的位置相关信息是用于实现对所述目标反射体的感知、定位，因此，所述位置相关信息可以是通信设备之间的相对位置信息，也可以是各通信设备的绝对位置信息(如地理位置等)，还可以是通信设备之间的定位延迟参数等，在此不做限制。需要说明的是，第一通信设备获取定位组中各个通信设备的位置相关信息，可以是直接获取各个通信设备中至少部分通信设备的位置，也可以是获取用于直接或间接指示各个通信设备位置的与位置相关的信息。
所述第一通信设备获取的N个所述第一传播时延差异量的数量用于实现对目标反射体的定位。本实施例中，一个所述第一传播时延差异量为所述定位组中任意两个通信设备之间的传播路径的传播时延差异量，且所述传播路径为经过所述目标反射体反射的路径，不同的所述第一传播时延差异量对应所述定位组中的两个通信设备不完全相同，N为正整数，且M≥N≥3，所述N由高层配置。
例如，请结合参阅图3，假设定位组中包括第一通信设备1、第二通信设备2、第三通信设备3以及位于第一通信设备1、第二通信设备2、第三通信设备3周围的目标反射体j，那么，所述N个第一传播时延差异量对应的传播路径可以包括：(第一通信设备1-目标反射体j-第二通信设备2)、(第一通信设备1-目标反射体j-第三通信设备3)、(第二通信设备2-目标反射体j-第三通信设备3)。可以理解，由于从物理信号结构来说，发射端和接收端之间信道的传播延迟具有互易性，因此，以(第一通信设备1-目标反射体j-第三通信设备3)为例，(第一通信设备1-目标反射体j-第三通信设备3)与(第二通信设备3-目标反射体j-第一通信设备1)的信道传播延迟相同。
当然，对于前述的位置相关信息以及地动仪传播时延差异量的获取方式可以由多种，可以由第一通信设备自身确定，也可以由定位组中的其他通信设备发送，在此不做限制。
S220，根据所述位置相关信息和所述第一传播时延差异量，所述第一通信设备确定目标反射体的目标位置信息。
可以理解，对于本实施例中提供的组定位流程，可以由高层决定何时开始定位感知流程。如定位流程的开始可以根据周期性事件(Periodic-event)触发机制进行，也可以根据持久性事件(Persistance-event)触发机制进行，还可以根据动态事件(dynamic-event)触发机制进行，在此不做限制。
值得注意的是，在定位流程开始以前，高层可通过高层信令决定参与组定位的通信设备的相关信息，如第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备。且，参与组定位的通信设备可按照第一规则交替执行不同的定位参考信号发送/接收周期，以实现对目标反射体的定位。
本实施例中，通过组定位的方式配合信号反射，实现对目标物体即目标反射体的精确定位，而且还能够保证在通信设备的收发机时钟在未进行校准的情况下，也能实现对目标反射体的精确定位。
如图4所示，为本申请一示例性实施例提供的组定位方法400的流程示意图，该方法可以但不限于由第一通信设备(如终端或网络侧设备)执行，具体可由安装于第一通信设 备中的硬件和/或软件执行。本实施例中，所述方法400至少可以包括如下步骤。
S410，第一通信设备获取定位组中各个通信设备的位置相关信息以及第一传播时延差异量。
其中，所述定位组包括所述第一通信设备在内的M个通信设备，所述第一传播时延差异量的数量为N个，一个所述第一传播时延差异量为所述定位组中任意两个通信设备之间的传播路径的传播时延差异量，且所述传播路径为经过所述目标反射体反射的路径，不同的所述第一传播时延差异量对应所述定位组中的两个通信设备不完全相同，N、M为正整数，且M≥N≥3。
可以理解，S410的实现过程除了可参照方法实施例200中的相关描述之外，作为一种可能的实现方式，所述第一通信设备获取定位组中各个通信设备的位置相关信息以及第一传播时延差异量的方式可以有多种，下面对其获取过程分别进行说明。
(1)位置相关信息的获取
本实施例中，根据定位场景(或定位感知场景)的不同，位于同一所述定位组中的通信设备可以包括移动通信设备(如终端)和/或固定通信设备(如接入网设备(如gNB)、核心网设备等)。基于此，下面对不同的定位感知场景进行说明。
例如，假设本实施例提供的组定位方法可以用于具有3个组成员或3个组成员以上的未知位置信息的移动通信设备的组定位感知场景，即定位组由相同的移动通信设备(Mobile Equipment)组成，那么，定位组中的各通信设备可先进行组成员之间的相互定位，以获得各通信设备的位置相关信息，如所述定位组中各通信设备的位置信息、所述定位组中各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数等。
又例如，假设本实施例提供的组定位方法可以用于具有3个组成员或3个组成员以上的已知位置信息的固定通信设备(如，参与定时流程的通信设备可以预先放置在固定位置等)的组定位感知场景，即定位组由相同的固定位置的固定通信设备(如gNB)组成，那么，定位组中的各通信设备无需进行组成员之间的相互定位，各通信设备的位置相关信息已知，如所述定位组中各通信设备的位置信息已知，或可根据各通信设备的位置信息计算述定位组中各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数等。
如，假设固定通信设备1和固定通信设备2的位置信息分别为和那么，可以简单地计算出第二定位延迟参数如式(0)所示。其中，式(0)中的c表示光速。
又例如，假设本实施例提供的组定位方法可以用于具有3个组成员或3个组成员以上的未知位置信息的移动通信设备以及已知位置信息的固定通信设备相融合的组定位感知场景，即定位组一部分由移动通信设备组成，另一部分由固定通信设备组成，那么，定位组中的各通信设备之间的定位可参考固定通信设备的位置信息对移动通信设备进行绝对定位移动通信设备的位置相关信息，如各移动通信设备的位置信息、所述定位组中各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数等。
在此情况下，下面以包括未知位置信息的移动通信设备的定位组为例，对所述定位组中各个通信设备的位置相关信息的获取进行说明。假设所述位置相关信息中包括所述第二定位时延参数，那么，所述第一通信设备可获取对应不同反射路径的L个第二传播延迟差异量，以及根据所述L个第二传播延迟差异量确定第二定位延迟参数；其中，一个所述第二传播时延差异量为所述定位组中任意两个通信设备之间的传播路径的传播时延差异量，且所述传播路径为经过所述定位组中任意一个通信设备反射的路径，不同的所述第一传播时延差异量对应所述定位组中的三个通信设备中不完全相同，L为正整数，L≥3，所述L由高层配置。
可选的，所述第一通信设备获取对应不同反射路径的L个第二传播延迟差异量的过程，可以包括以下方式1-方式2中的至少一项。
方式1：在所述第一通信设备作为接收端的情况下，根据自身获取到的参考信号测量量获取所述第二传播延迟差异量。
一种实现方式中，在所述第一通信设备作为接收端的情况下，根据自身获取到的参考信号测量量获取所述第二传播延迟差异量的过程可以包括所述第一通信设备获取第一测量量和第二测量量，再根据所述第一测量量和第二测量量，确定从所述第二通信设备到所述第一通信设备之间的第一时延，以及从所述第二通信设备发送、再经所述第三通信设备反射到所述第一通信设备之间的第三时延，最后根据所述第三时延和所述第一时延确定所述第二传播延迟差异量。
示例性的，为描述简单起见，请再次参阅图3，假设所述定位组中仅包括3个未知位置信息的通信设备，即第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备，那么，第二通信设备可在第一资源上发送第一参考信号，所述的第一参考信号可以包括但不限于：追踪参考信号(Tracking Reference Signal、TRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(Channel Status Information  Reference Signal，CSI-RS)、定位参考信号(Positioning Reference Signal，PRS)、探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)或其它和通信感知一体化相关的参考信号。
基于此，以NR系统为例，对于NR下行链路(Down-Link)参考信号，其可以包括物理下行共享信道(Physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH-DMRS(Demodulation Reference Signal，解调参考信号)、物理下行控制信道(Physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)-DMRS、物理广播信道(Physical broadcast channel，PBCH)-DMRS、相位跟踪参考信号(Phase-tracking reference signal，PT-RS)、CSI-RS、远程干扰管理参考信号(Remote Interference Management Reference Signal，RIM-RS)、PRS等；对于NR上行链路(Up-Link)的参考信号，其可以包括物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)-DMRS、物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，PUCCH)-DMRS、PT-RS、SRS；对于NR旁链路(Sidelink)的参考信号，其可以包括物理副链路共享信道(Physical SideLink Shared Channel，PSSCH)-DMRS、物理副链路控制信道(Physical SideLink Control Channel，PSCCH)-DMRS、PSSCH-PTRS、物理副链路广播信道(Physical SideLink Broadcast Channel，PSBCH)-DMRS、CSI-RS。
进一步，第三通信设备在第一资源上接收第一参考信号，并按照第一正交调制方式对接收到的第一参考信号进行调制后反射。其中，所述第一正交调制方式包括通断键控(On-Off Keying，OOK)方式、二进制相移键控(Binary Phase Shift Keying，BPSK)方式、码分多路复用(code division multiplexing，CDM)正交码方式中的任一项。
例如，所述OOK方式对应的调制矩阵可以为：
又例如，所述BPSK方式对应的调制矩阵可以为：
又例如，所述拥有CDM特性的Hadamard正交码方式对应的调制矩阵可以为：
其中，所述M为大于或等于1的整数，所述M与参与定位流程中参考信号调制编码的通信设备的数量相关。需要注意，后续关于所述第一正交调制序列不再赘述。
基于此，第一通信设备在第一资源上接收到的参考信号(即第一测量量)可以包括第一参考信号(即直径信号)、第二参考信号(反射信号)和第三参考信号(反射信号)，所述第一参考信号是由所述第二通信设备在第一资源上发送，所述第二参考信号是所述第三通信设备根据第一正交调制方式对接收到的第一参考信号进行调制得到，所述第三参考信号是所述目标反射体对接收到的第一参考信号反射得到。
与第一参考信号的发送类似，第二通信设备在第二资源上发送第四参考信号，第三通信设备在第二资源上接收第一参考信号，并按照第一正交调制方式对接收到的第一参考信号进行调制后反射。基于此，第一通信设备在第人资源上接收到的参考信号(即第二测量量)包括第四参考信号(即直径信号)、第五参考信号(反射信号)和第六参考信号，所述第四参考信号是由所述第二通信设备在第二资源上发送，所述第五参考信号是所述第三通信设备根据第一正交调制方式对接收到的第四参考信号进行调制得到，所述第六参考信号是所述目标反射体对接收到的第四参考信号反射得到。可以理解，所述第四参考信号的相关描述可参照前述对第一参考信号的描述，为避免重复，在此不再赘述。
例如，假设所述第一资源为时域资源，如第m个时隙中的符号n、第二资源为第m+1个时隙中的符号n，且所述第三通信设备中按照第一正交调制方式进行正交调制过程中没有任何额外的处理延迟时间，即调制过程和反射过程属于一种单纯的对接收信号进行功率放大转发(Amplify-and-Forward，AF)的过程，那么所述第一通信设备获取到的第一测量量y2,1,m[n]和第二测量量y2,1,m+1[n]如式(1)和式(2)所示。

其中，s[n]为第一参考信号或第四参考信号，h2,1(τ2,1)为第二通信设备与第一通信设备之间的信道相应，τ2,1为第二通信设备与第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，h2,3(τ2,3)为第二通信设备与第三通信设备之间的信道响应，τ2,3为第二通信设备与第三通信 设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，h3,1(τ3,1)为第三通信设备与第一通信设备之间的信道响应，τ3,1为第三通信设备与第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，为第二通信设备与目标反射体之间的信道响应，为第二通信设备与目标反射体之间的第一定位延迟参数，为目标反射体之间与第一通信设备的信道响应，为目标反射体与第一通信设备之间的第一定位延迟参数。bk,m(如b3,m+1、b3,m)为第一正交调制方式对应的调制符号，w1,m[n]和w1,m+1[n]分别为加性高斯白噪声(Additive White Gaussian Noise，AWGN)，α′3是复数衰减反向散射信号系数，包括第三通信设备对接收到的第一参考信号进行的功率放大系数因子，αj是包括雷达截面(Rader Cross Section，RCS)在内的第j个目标反射体的衰减系数。
基于此，假设在第m个时隙(即第一资源)和第m+1个时隙(即第二资源)中，第二通信设备发送第一参考信号和第四参考信号，第三通信设备通过OOK或BPSK或CDM正交码调制并进行功率放大反射，那么，第一通信设备可根据OOK或BPSK或CDM正交码调制的正交特性，对接收到的第一测量量和第二测量量进行简单的加/减运算，分别得到以下直径信号和反射信号。
其中，假设第三通信设备通过BPSK(即第一正交调制序列)进行模拟调制，即在第m个时隙使用调制符号bk,m＝1，而在第m+1个时隙中使用调制符号bk,m+1＝-1，那么，第一通信设备接收到的总信号(即第一测量量、第二测量量)可以分别如式(3)、式(4)所示。

基于此，所述第一通信设备根据所述第一测量量和第二测量量确定第一时延，以及第三时延的过程可以如下。
首先通过针对式(3)和式(4)进行加法运算，第一通信设备可以获取直径信号和第j个的目标反射体的反射信号，即，第一信号计算量如式(5)所示。
以及，通过针对式(3)和式(4)进行减法运算，第一通信设备可以获取通过第三通 信设备的反射信号，即，第二信号计算量如式(6)所示。
y2,1,m[n]-y2,1,m+1[n]＝2α'3h2,3(τ2,3)h3,1(τ3,1)s[n]+w”2,1[n]    (6)
进一步，根据式(5)所示的第一信号计算量，第一通信设备通过检测第一信号计算量中第一到达的信号，可以估算出从第二通信设备发送到第一通信设备的直径信号的时延，即第一时延，其中，所述第一时延可以如式(7)所示。
对应的，根据式(6)表示的第二信号计算量，第一通信设备估算出从第二通信设备发送，并通过第三通信设备模拟调制并反射到第一通信设备的反射信号的时延，即第三时延，其中，所述第三时延如式(8)所示。
式(7)和式(8)中，表示所述第二通信设备所经历的定时误差(Timing Error)，表示所述第一通信设备所经历的定时误差。需要注意，由于发送端(如第二通信设备)和接收端(如第二通信设备)的射频(Radio Frequency，RF)有所差异，因此，一般情况下，
因此，计算反射信号和直径信号延迟差，即，从第二通信设备发送，被第三通信设备反射，到第一通信设备接收的第二传播延迟差异量(也可称作第一定位方程)，可以通过对和进行减法运算的方法获取，即所述第二传播延迟差异量如式(9)所示。
其中，表示所述第三时延，表示所述第一时延，τ2,3表示第二通信设备与第三通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，τ2,1表示第二通信设备与第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，τ3,1表示第三通信设备与第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，表示所述第二通信设备所经历的定时误差，表示所述第一通信设备所经历的定时误差，所述第二通信设备和所述第三通信设备是所述定位组的通信设备。
值得注意的是，从物理信号结构来说，发射端和接收端之间信道的传播延迟是具有互易性的，即在此，根据传播延迟的互易性，可以得到
当然作为本实施例中的一种实现方式，第一通信设备在获取第二传播延迟差异量的过程中，可判断第二传播延迟差异量的数量是否大于或等于L。其中，L是由高层事先决定的最少所需传播延迟差异量。如果第二传播延迟差异量的数量小于L，
则根据由高层信令预先决定对第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备的更换顺序(即第一规则)更换第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备，再次分别由第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备执行发送、接收和反射目标参考信号，以再次获取第二传播延迟差异量直到获取到L个第二传播延迟差异量。
如果第二传播延迟差异量的数量是大于或等于L，则第一通信设备可通过L个第二传播延迟差异量对第一通信设备、第二通信设备和第三通信设备进行相互定位，以得到各通信设备的位置信息以及第二定位延迟参数。
例如，延续前述例子，假设所述L个第二传播延迟差异量如式(10)所示，那么将式(10)所示的第二传播延迟差异量可通过矢量和矩阵方式表示为式(11)所示。

式(10)和式(11)中，表示所述发送端为第二通信设备、接收端为第一通信设备、反射端为第三通信设备时的第二传播延迟差异量，表示所述发送端为第二通信设备、接收端为第三通信设备、反射端为第一通信设备时的第二传播延迟差异量，表示所述发送端为第一通信设备、接收端为第三通信设备、反射端为第二通信设备时的第二传播延迟差异量。
基于此，定位组内的第二定位延迟参数矢量x可以通过式(12)得到。
其中，如果矩阵A是非正方矩阵，定位组内的各通信设备之间的所述第二定位延迟参数对应的矢量x可通过式(13)获取。
x＝(ATA)-1ATy       (13)
方式2：在所述第一通信设备未作为接收端的情况下，所述第一通信设备接收来自所述定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备发送的第二传播延迟差异量。
其中可以理解的是，所述定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备发送的第二传播延迟差异量是作为所述第一通信设备获取的L个第二传播延迟差异量中的部分，以用于第二定时延迟参数的计算。例如，请再次参阅式(10)，第二传播延迟差异量即是由第三通信设备确定后发送给所述第一通信设备进行目标反射体的定位。当然，定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备确定第二传播延迟差异量的过程与前述第一通信设备类似，为避免重复，在此不再赘述。
(2)第一传播时延差异量的获取过程
与前述位置相关信息的获取类似，所述第一通信设备获取对应不同反射路径的N个第一传播延迟差异量的步骤，也可以包括以下方式1-方式2中的至少一项。
方式1：所述第一通信设备在作为接收端的情况下，根据自身获取到的参考信号测量量确定所述第一传播延迟差异量。
一种实现方式中，所述第一通信设备在作为接收端的情况下，根据自身获取到的参考信号测量量确定所述第一传播延迟差异量的过程可以包括：所述第一通信设备获取第一测量量和第二测量量；再根据所述第一测量量和第二测量量，确定从所述第二通信设备到所述第一通信设备之间的第一时延，以及从所述第二通信设备发送、再经所述目标反射体反射到所述第一通信设备时的第二时延；最后根据所述第二时延和所述第一时延确定所述第一传播延迟差异量。
其中，延用前述对位置相关信息介绍时的例子，所述第一测量量和所述第二测量量的获取可如前述(3)和(4)所示，那么，所述第一通信设备可进一步通过检测式(5)中 的第一信号计算量中的第一到达的信号，估算出从第二通信设备发送，并通过第j个的目标反射体反射到第一通信设备的反射信号时延，即第二时延，该第二时延可以如式(14)所示。
基于此，所述第一通信设备计算目标反射体的反射信号和直径信号之间延迟差，即从第二通信设备发送，被目标反射体反射，到第一通信设备接收的第一传播延迟差异量(也即第二定位方程)，可以通过对第二时延和第一时延进行减法运算的方法获取，那么，所述第一传播延迟差异量可以如式(15)所示。
其中，表示第二通信设备与所述目标反射体之间的第一定位延迟参数，表示所述目标反射体与所述第一通信设备之间的第一定位延迟参数，τ2,1表示所述第二通信设备与所述第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，表示所述第二通信设备所经历的定时误差，表示所述第一通信设备所经历的定时误差。
值得注意的是，从物理信号结构来说，发射端和接收端之间信道的传播延迟是具有互易性的，即在此，根据传播延迟的互易性，可以得到
当然作为本实施例中的一种实现方式，第一通信设备在获取第一传播延迟差异量的过程中，可判断第一传播延迟差异量的数量是否大于或等于N。其中，N是由高层事先决定的最少所需传播延迟差异量。如果第一传播延迟差异量的数量小于N，则根据由高层信令预先决定(即第一规则)更换第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备，再次分别由第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备执行发送、接收和反射目标参考信号，以再次获取第一传播延迟差异量直到获取到N个第二传播延迟差异量。
如果第一传播延迟差异量的数量是大于或等于N，则第一通信设备通过N个第二传播延迟差异量对目标反射体进行定位。
例如，延用前述例子，假设所述N个所述第一传播延迟差异量如式(16)所示，如果将式(16)所示的第二传播延迟差异量通过矢量和矩阵方式表示，那么可如式(17)所示。

y'＝A'x'            (17)
其中，表示发送端为第二通信设备、接收端为所述第一通信设备时的第一传播延迟差异量，表示所述发送端为所述第二通信设备、接收端为第三通信设备时的第一传播延迟差异量，表示所述发送端为所述第一通信设备、接收端为所述第三通信设备时的第一传播延迟差异量，τ2,1表示所述第二通信设备与所述第一通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数、τ2,3表示所述第二通信设备与所述第三通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数、τ1,3表示所述第一通信设备与所述第三通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，表示所述第二通信设备与所述目标反射体之间的第一定位延迟参数，表示所述第一通信设备与所述目标反射体之间的第一定位延迟参数，表示所述目标反射体与所述第三通信设备之间的第一定位延迟参数，所述第二通信设备和所述第三通信设备是所述定位组中的通信设备。
进一步，考虑到第一通信设备、第二通信设备和第三通信设备的位置相关信息已知，即y'是已知的，因此目标反射体对应的第一定位延迟参数矢量x'可以通过式(18)计算得到。
x'＝((A')TA')-1(A')Ty'         (18)
值得注意的是，本申请中进行第一定位延迟参数可第二定位延迟参数获取时，是以时分(在m时隙和m+1时隙)的方式进行第一参考信号和第四参考信号的发送，但当定位组中的通信设备数据大于3的情况下，本实施例也可以基于频分或码分或空域的方式第一参考信号和第四参考信号的发送。换言之，前述提及的所述第一资源和所述第二资源为不同的时域资源，或所述第一资源和所述第二资源为同一时域上的不同频域资源，或所述第 一资源和所述第二资源为同一时域上的不同空域资源，或所述第一资源和所述第二资源为同一时域上的不同码域资源。
方式2：
所述第一通信设备在未作为接收端的情况下，接收来自所述定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备发送的第一传播延迟差异量。
其中可以理解的是，所述定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备发送的第一传播延迟差异量可以作为所述第一通信设备获取的N个第二传播延迟差异量中的部分，以用于第一定时延迟参数的计算。例如，请请再次参阅式(10)，第一传播延迟差异量即是由第三通信设备确定后发送给所述第一通信设备进行目标反射体的定位。当然，定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备确定第二传播延迟差异量的过程与前述第一通信设备类似，为避免重复，在此不再赘述。
S420，根据所述位置相关信息和所述第一传播时延差异量，所述第一通信设备确定目标反射体的目标位置信息。
可以理解，S420的实现过程除了可参照方法实施例200中的相关描述之外，作为一种可能的实现方式，请再次参阅图3，所述根据所述位置相关信息和所述第一传播时延差异量，所述第一通信设备确定目标反射体的目标位置信息的步骤可以包括S421和S422，内容如下
S421，根据所述位置相关信息和所述第一传播时延差异量参数，确定所述目标反射体与所述定位组中的各通信设备之间的第一定位时延参数。
其中，如果所述位置相关信息中包括定位组中各通信设备的位置信息(如地理坐标位置)，那么，所述第一通信设备可以直接根据所述各通信设备的位置信息计算各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数，再基于所述各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数和所述第一传播时延差异量参数，确定所述目标反射体与所述定位组中的各通信设备之间的第一定位时延参数。
如果所述位置相关信息未包括定位组中各通信设备的位置信息，而是包括定位组中各通信设备之间的第二定位时延参数，那么，所述第一通信设备可直接基于所述各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数和所述第一传播时延差异量参数，确定所述目标反射体与所述定位组中的各通信设备之间的第一定位时延参数。当然，所述各通信设备之间的第二定位延迟参数可以是所述第一通信设备获取的L个第二传播延迟差异量确定，其具体过程可参照 前述S410中的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
S422，根据所述第一定位时延参数确定所述目标反射体的目标位置信息。
可以理解，S422的实现过程可参照方法实施例200中的相关描述，为避免重复，在此不再赘述。
进一步，在前述组定位流程中，需要注意的是，根据第一规则，所述第一通信设备除了作为接收端之外，还可以作为发送端、反射端等，以实现N和第一传播延迟差异量和L个第二传播延迟差异量的获取，进而实现各通信设备间的相互定位以及对目标反射体的定位。
此外，如果定位组至少包括第一通信设备、第二通信设备和第三通信设备，那么，本实施例中虽然给出了由第一通信设备进行组定位流程的实现，但在实际通定位感知场景中，也可以由定位组中除所述第一通信设备之外的其他通信设备执行前述定位流程，在此不做限制。
对应的，与所述第一通信设备类似，所述第二通信设备、第三通信设备可可以在发送端、接收端、反射端以及定位流程端之间切换，例如以第二通信设备为例，所述第二通信设备可以执行以下(11)-(15)中的至少一项。

对于(14)和(15)，所述第二通信设备作为接收端，可如前述的第一通信设备类似，对接收到的目标参考信号进行处理等。
当然，前述的第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备分别作为什么角色可根据第一规则确定，在此不再赘述。
所述第三通信设备与前述第二通新设备类似，在此不再赘述。
进一步，对于前述实施例给出的组定位方法，定位组中的一个通信设备还可以在不同的时间单元上执行不同的动作。例如，以定位组中的目标设备为例，那么，在第一时间单元内，所述目标设备可以作为所述第一通信设备，执行如方法实施例200-400中给出的组定位方法的步骤，在第二时间单元内，所述目标设备可以作为第二通信设备，执行前述的(11)-(15)中所述的组定位方法中的步骤。

本实施例中，通过以上定位组中各通信设备间的相互定位，可在不需要通过对通信设备时钟校准的情况下，能够精准地得到定位组中各通信设备间的相对位置坐标和周围反射体的相对位置坐标，达到高精度定位的目的。
基于前述方法实施例200-400的描述，下面假设定位组中至少包括第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备、且第一通信设备、第二通信设备、第三通信设备的位置信息未知、N＝3、L＝3，那么，本申请提供的组定位流程可以包括如下S501-S505。
