Description

测量结果接收、发送方法和装置 技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域，具体而言，涉及测量结果发送方法、测量结果发送装置、测量结果接收方法、测量结果接收装置，通信装置和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
目前的终端定位技术应用于地面网络，通常根据多个基站与移动终端间的信号传播的时长或时间差值进行计算，例如TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)定位技术，通过终端测量多个基站发送的下行定位参考信号，并基于测量的定位参考信号到达时间差来计算终端的位置。
但是在非地面网络(Non-Terrestrial Networks，简称NTN)中，终端与地面基站之间通过卫星通信，卫星通常会随着时间移动，且通常只有一颗卫星能够为终端提供覆盖，这导致难以将应用于地面网络的定位技术直接应用于非地面网络中。
发明内容
有鉴于此，本公开的实施例提出了测量结果发送方法、测量结果发送装置、测量结果接收方法、测量结果接收装置、通信装置和计算机可读存储介质，以解决相关技术中的技术问题。
根据本公开实施例的第一方面，提出一种测量结果发送方法，适用于终端，所述方法包括：
向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
根据本公开实施例的第二方面，提出一种信号测量装置，适用于终端，所述装置包括：
通信模块，被配置为向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
根据本公开实施例的第三方面，提出一种测量结果接收方法，适用于网络设备，所述方法包括：
接收终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
根据本公开实施例的第四方面，提出一种测量结果接收装置，适用于网络设备，所述装置包括：
通信模块，被配置为接收终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
根据本公开实施例的第五方面，提出一种通信装置，包括：
处理器；
用于存储处理器可执行指令的存储器；
其中，所述处理器被配置为执行上述测量结果发送方法和/或上述测量结果接收方法。
根据本公开实施例的第六方面，提出一种计算机可读存储介质，用于存储计算机程序，所述程序被处理器执行时实现权利要求1至35中任一项所述的测量结果发送方法和/或测量结果接收方法中的步骤。
根据本公开的实施例，终端通过将定位参考信号的多个测量结果发送给网络设备，使得网络设备可以根据接收到的多个测量结果计算终端的位置。例如，在只有一个网络设备发送定位参考信号的情况下，终端可以将该网络设备在处于不同位置时分别发出的定位参考信号的测量结果作为多个测量结果发送给网络设备，这等效于在每个位置都存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，终端同时将各位置的网络设备所发出的定位参考信号的测量结果发送给网络设备。据此，即便只存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，网络设备也可以根据终端发送的多个测量结果实现对终端的定位。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。 例如，在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下，第一信息也可以被称为第二信息，类似地，第二信息也可以被称为第一信息。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
出于简洁和便于理解的目的，本文在表征大小关系时，所使用的术语为“大于”或“小于”、“高于”或“低于”。但对于本领域技术人员来说，可以理解：术语“大于”也涵盖了“大于等于”的含义，“小于”也涵盖了“小于等于”的含义；术语“高于”涵盖了“高于等于”的含义，“低于”也涵盖了“低于等于”的含义。
图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的测量结果发送方法可以由终端执行，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络侧设备通信，所述网络侧设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信系统中的网络侧设备，例如基站、核心网等。
如图1所示，所述测量结果发送方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S101中，向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
其中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
根据本实施例，终端通过将定位参考信号的多个测量结果发送给网络设备，使得网络设备可以根据接收到的多个测量结果计算终端的位置。例如，在只有一个网络设备发送定位参考信号的情况下，终端可以将该网络设备在处于不同位置时分别发出的定位参考信号的测量结果作为多个测量结果发送给网络设备，这等效于在每个位置都存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，终端同时将各位置的网络设备所发出的定位 参考信号的测量结果发送给网络设备。据此，即便只存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，网络设备也可以根据终端发送的多个测量结果实现对终端的定位。
图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S201中，向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个所述测量结果的关联信息；
其中，所述关联信息包括以下至少之一：
时间信息、所述网络设备的位置信息、所述网络设备的星历信息。
本公开的所有实施例，可以应用于地面网络，也可以应用于非地面网络。其中，当应用于地面网络中，网络设备包括基站；当应用于非地面网络中，网络设备包括但不限于可以在空中运动的卫星、无人机、空中平台。
在一个实施例中，应用于地面网络，基站在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，可以将接收到的测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，由LMF根据接收到的测量结果以及各基站的位置信息计算终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，应用于非地面网络，网络设备(例如卫星)在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，可以将接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，由LMF根据接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息对终端进行定位。举例而言，卫星在接收到终端发送的多个测量结果和每个测量结果关联的时间信息后，可以将该多个测量结果和每个测量结果关联的时间信息发送给LMF，LMF可以根据接收到的时间信息以及从终端或者基站获取的卫星的星历信息确定每个测量关联的卫星的位置信息，并根据测量结果和每个测量结果关联的位置信息计算终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，应用于非地面网络中，网络设备(例如卫星)在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，无需将测量结果以及测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，而是可以直接根据UE上报的时间信息以及自身存储的星历信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，或者根据UE上报的位置信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，又或者根据UE上报的时间信息和星历信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，并根据测量结果和每个测量结果关联的卫星的 位置信息计算终端的位置。
以下实施例主要针对应用于非地面网络的场景，网络设备为卫星，且卫星将接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF的情况进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
在一实施例中，所述时间信息包括以下至少之一：
世界标准时间(UTC时间)；全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System，GNSS)时间；通信网络时间。
其中，通信网络时间可以包括无线帧radio frame,子帧subframe,符号slot，本公开对此不作限制。时间信息主要用于指示终端测量到的定位参考信号到达时间，或者到达时间所对应的定位参考信号的发送时间，以供LMF根据该时间信息确定发送定位参考信号的网络设备所处的位置。
其中，星历信息可以包括网络设备的轨道信息或位置、速度等参数与时间之间的关联关系。根据网络设备的星历信息和上述时间信息，即可确定在时间信息所包含的一个或多个时间网络设备所在的位置。
在一个实施例中，星历信息中参数与时间之间的关联关系是可以改变的，因此，关联信息还可以包括星历信息的有效时间，LMF在有效时间内，可以根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，在有效时间外，可以不根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，以避免在网络设备的参数与时间之间的关联关系发生变化后依然根据该星历信息确定网络设备的位置而影响定位的精准度。
其中，位置信息用于指示网络设备的所处位置，可以按照GPS(Global Positioning System，全球定位系统)地理位置的形式显示，可以由终端根据上述时间信息和星历信息进行计算得到。
在本公开中，测量结果的关联信息主要用于使LMF确定测量结果所关联的网络设备的位置，因此，上述关联信息可以被分为三组，即测量结果的关联信息可以仅包括网络设备的位置信息；或者测量结果的关联信息可以包括时间信息和网络设备的星历信息，LMF在接收到关联信息后可以根据时间信息和网络设备的星历信息确定网络设备的位置信息；又或者测量结果的关联信息可以只包括时间信息，LMF可以向基站请求网络设备的星历信息或者位置信息，根据关联信息中所包含的时间信息以及基站所返回的星历信息或位置信息确定网络设备的位置信息。
在相关技术中，例如在地面网络中，终端可以针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果以及基站的位置确定终端的位置。
但是，在非地面网络中，卫星会在空中运动，并且一般情况下，终端仅会处于一个卫星的覆盖范围内，所以终端难以针对多个卫星发出的定位参考进行测量。在这种情况下，卫星的位置并不固定，若终端仅仅向网络侧上报定位参考信号的测量结果，网络侧并不能准确确定卫星的位置，也就难以根据卫星的位置准确确定终端的位置。
根据本实施例，终端除了发送定位参考信号的测量结果外，还会将与测量结果关联的时间信息和/或网络设备的位置信息和/或网络设备的星历信息作为测量结果的关联信息一同通过网络设备发送至LMF。
据此，即便网络设备的位置不固定，网络设备也可以根据接收到的测量结果的关联信息确定网络设备的位置，进而就可以根据确定出的网络设备的位置以及终端对定位参考信号的测量结果计算出终端的位置。
图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S301中，接收网络设备发送的配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间。
在本实施例中，终端可以接收到LMF通过网络设备所提供的用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，并根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。
例如测量次数与测量结果的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。当测量次数与测量结果的数量相等时，那么可以将每次测量得到的测量结果发送上报至网络侧；当测量次数与测量结果的数量不相等时，例如测量次数大于测量结果的数量，那么可以在多个测量结果中选择该数量的测量结果发送上报至网络侧。
应当理解的是，当配置信息中所包含的测量次数或测量结果数量所指示的是数量下限时，终端可以根据自身的实际能力以及定位的精度需求确定其所要测量的次数或上报的测量结果的数量。
又例如测量次数与测量时间的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。配置信息可以包括测量次数和多个测量时间，且配置信息中所包含的测量时间数量大于测量次数，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以仅选择其中所包含的部分测量时间进行测量。举例而言，配置信息中包括测量次数为4，且包括t1、t2、t3、t4和t5这五个测量时间，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以根据自身需要，仅在t1、t2、t3和t4这四个测量时间测量定位参考信号。
在一个实施例中，参考时间可以用于供终端计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，例如可以当作计算时间差的减数。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间t0时，终端在测量多个定位参考信号的到达时间分别为t1、t2和t3后，可以根据接收到的参考时间t0，计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差分别为(t1-t0)、(t2-t0)和(t3-t0)。
在一个实施例中，参考时间也可以用于指示终端上报至网络侧的定位参考时间的到达时间的精度。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间为00分00秒时，若终端测量得到定位参考信号的到达时间为2022年4月15日12时01分12秒，则终端根据接收到的参考时间，在向网络设备发送定位参考信号的到达时间为01分12秒，较大程度的减少了终端所发送的测量结果的所占比特，节约了传输资源。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以根据需要被分为必要配置信息和非必要配置信息，例如测量时间为必要配置信息，测量次数、测量结果的数量、参考时间可以作为非必要配置信息。LMF可以根据终端当前所需的定位精度或者当前的传输资源分配情况确定是否发送非必要配置信息。
例如，当LMF确定终端所需的定位精度不高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较少时，LMF通过网络设备可以仅向终端发送必要配置信息；而若终端所需的定位精度较高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较多时，LMF可以将必要配置信息和非必要配置信息一同通过网络设备提供给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以根据需要被分为必要配置信息和非必要配置信息，其中必要配置信息和非必要配置信息可以一次性发送给终端，也可以分成两次进行发送，本公开对此不作限制。举例而言，LMF通过网络设备可以先向终端发送必要配置信息，在接收到终端针对非必要配置信息的请求的情况下，再将非必要配置信息发送给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息携带在以下至少之一中：长期演进定位协议提供辅助数据LPP provide assistance data；长期演进定位协议位置信息请求LPP location information request。举例而言，LMF可以通过发送携带有测量时间的LPP provide assistance data，以向终端提供测量定位参考信号的时间信息，然后再通过发送携带有测量结果数量的LPP location information request，以请求终端上报定位参考信号的测量结果。
在一个实施例中，终端无需接收LMF通过网络设备所发送的配置信息，而是可以根据自身能力和/或自身实现自行确定配置信息，并根据自行确定的配置信息对定位参考信号进行测量。例如，终端可以在确定自身处于非地面网络中，且需要进行定位的情况下，可以自行确定测量定位参考信号的时间、测量定位参考信号的次数、测量结果的参考时间、以及发送至网络设备的测量结果的数量。
图4是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S401中，接收网络设备发送的配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果；
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间；
在步骤S402中，根据所述配置信息向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
在本实施例中，终端可以接收到LMF通过网络设备所提供的用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，并根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号，并将定位参考信号的多个测量结果发送至网络设备。例如，在地面网络中，终端可以根据接收到的配置信息针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果确定终端的位置。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。
例如测量次数与测量结果的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。当测量次数与测量结果的数量相等时，那么可以将每次测量得到的测量结果发送上报至网络侧；当测量次数与测量结果的数量不相等时，例如测量次数大于测量结果的数量，那么可以在多个测量结果中选择该数量的测量结果发送上报至网络侧。
应当理解的是，当配置信息中所包含的测量次数或测量结果数量所指示的是数 量下限时，终端可以根据自身的实际能力以及定位的精度需求确定其所要测量的次数或上报的测量结果的数量。
又例如测量次数与测量时间的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。配置信息可以包括测量次数和多个测量时间，且配置信息中所包含的测量时间数量大于测量次数，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以仅选择其中所包含的部分测量时间进行测量。举例而言，配置信息中包括测量次数为4，且包括t1、t2、t3、t4和t5这五个测量时间，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以根据自身需要，仅在t1、t2、t3和t4这四个测量时间测量定位参考信号。
在一个实施例中，参考时间可以用于供终端计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，例如可以当作计算时间差的减数。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间t0时，终端在测量多个定位参考信号的到达时间分别为t1、t2和t3后，可以根据接收到的参考时间t0，计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差分别为(t1-t0)、(t2-t0)和(t3-t0)。
在一个实施例中，参考时间也可以用于指示终端上报至网络侧的定位参考时间的到达时间的精度。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间为00分00秒时，若终端测量得到定位参考信号的到达时间为2022年4月15日12时01分12秒，则终端根据接收到的参考时间，在向网络设备发送定位参考信号的到达时间为01分12秒，较大程度的减少了终端所发送的测量结果的所占比特，节约了传输资源。

例如，当LMF确定终端所需的定位精度不高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较少时，LMF通过网络设备可以仅向终端发送必要配置信息；而若终端所需的定位精度较高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较多时，LMF可以将必要配置信息和非必要配置信息一同通过网络设备提供给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以根据需要被分为必要配置信息和非必要配置信息，其中必要配置信息和非必要配置信息可以一次性发送给终端，也可以分成两次进行发送，本公开对此不作限制。举例而言，LMF通过网络设备可以先向终端发送必要配置信息，在接收到终端针对非必要配置信息的请求的情况下，再将非必要配置信息 发送给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以携带在以下至少之一中：长期演进定位协议提供辅助数据LPP provide assistance data；长期演进定位协议位置信息请求LPP location information request。举例而言，LMF可以通过发送携带有测量时间的LPP provide assistance data，以向终端提供测量定位参考信号的时间信息，然后再通过发送携带有测量结果数量的LPP location information request，以请求终端上报定位参考信号的测量结果。
其中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
根据本实施例，终端可以根据网络设备所提供的用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息测量定位参考信号，从而可以较为准确的向网络设备提供定位所需的测量结果发送至网络设备，使得网络设备可以根据接收到的测量结果计算终端的位置。
图5是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S501中，接收网络设备发送的配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果；
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间；
在步骤S502中，根据所述配置信息向网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个所述测量结果的关联信息；
其中，所述关联信息包括以下至少之一：
时间信息、所述网络设备的位置信息、所述网络设备的星历信息。
在本实施例中，终端可以接收到LMF通过网络设备所提供的用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，并根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号，并将定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送至网络设备。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。
例如测量次数与测量结果的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。当测量次数与测量结果的数量相等时，那么可以将每次测量得到的测量结果发送上报至网络侧；当测量次数与测量结果的数量不相等时，例如测量次数大于测量结果的数量，那么可以在多个测量结果中选择该数量的测量结果发送上报至网络侧。
应当理解的是，当配置信息中所包含的测量次数或测量结果数量所指示的是数量下限时，终端可以根据自身的实际能力以及定位的精度需求确定其所要测量的次数或上报的测量结果的数量。
又例如测量次数与测量时间的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。配置信息可以包括测量次数和多个测量时间，且配置信息中所包含的测量时间数量大于测量次数，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以仅选择其中所包含的部分测量时间进行测量。举例而言，配置信息中包括测量次数为4，且包括t1、t2、t3、t4和t5这五个测量时间，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以根据自身需要，仅在t1、t2、t3和t4这四个测量时间测量定位参考信号。
在一个实施例中，参考时间可以用于供终端计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时 间差，例如可以当作计算时间差的减数。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间t0时，终端在测量多个定位参考信号的到达时间分别为t1、t2和t3后，可以根据接收到的参考时间t0，计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差分别为(t1-t0)、(t2-t0)和(t3-t0)。

其中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述 定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
其中，所述时间信息包括以下至少之一：
世界标准时间(UTC时间)；全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System，GNSS)时间；通信网络时间。
其中，通信网络时间可以包括无线帧radio frame,子帧subframe,符号slot，本公开对此不作限制。时间信息主要用于指示终端测量到的定位参考信号到达时间，或者到达时间所对应的定位参考信号的发送时间，以供LMF根据该时间信息确定发送定位参考信号的网络设备所处的位置。
其中，星历信息可以包括网络设备的轨道信息或位置、速度等参数与时间之间的关联关系。根据网络设备的星历信息和上述时间信息，即可确定在时间信息所包含的一个或多个时间网络设备所在的位置。
当然，星历信息中参数与时间之间的关联关系是可以改变的，因此，关联信息还可以包括星历信息的有效时间，LMF在有效时间内，可以根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，在有效时间外，可以不根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，以避免在网络设备的参数与时间之间的关联关系发生变化后依然根据该星历信息确定网络设备的位置而影响定位的精准度。
其中，位置信息用于指示网络设备的所处位置，可以按照GPS(Global Positioning System，全球定位系统)地理位置的形式显示，可以由终端根据上述时间信息和星历信息进行计算得到。
在本公开中，测量结果的关联信息主要用于使LMF确定测量结果所关联的网络设备的位置，因此，上述关联信息可以被分为三组，即测量结果的关联信息可以仅包括网络设备的位置信息；或者测量结果的关联信息可以包括时间信息和网络设备的 星历信息，LMF在接收到关联信息后可以根据时间信息和网络设备的星历信息确定网络设备的位置信息；又或者测量结果的关联信息可以只包括时间信息，LMF可以向基站请求网络设备的星历信息或者位置信息，根据关联信息中所包含的时间信息以及基站所返回的星历信息或位置信息确定网络设备的位置信息。
在相关技术中，例如在地面网络中，终端可以针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果以及基站的位置确定终端的位置。
但是，在非地面网络中，卫星会在空中运动，并且一般情况下，终端仅会处于一个卫星的覆盖范围内，所以终端难以针对多个卫星发出的定位参考进行测量。在这种情况下，卫星的位置并不固定，若终端仅仅向网络侧上报定位参考信号的测量结果，网络侧并不能准确确定卫星的位置，也就难以根据卫星的位置准确确定终端的位置。
根据本实施例，终端除了根据配置信息发送定位参考信号的测量结果外，还会将与测量结果关联的时间信息和/或网络设备的位置信息和/或网络设备的星历信息作为测量结果的关联信息一同通过网络设备发送至LMF。
据此，即便网络设备的位置不固定，网络设备也可以通过向终端发送配置信息以指示终端根据配置信息确定并上报定位参考信号的测量结果和测量结果的关联信息，从而根据终端上报的测量结果的关联信息确定网络设备的位置，进而就可以根据确定出的网络设备的位置以及终端对定位参考信号的测量结果计算出终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，所述多个测量结果为对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行多次测量得到。
应当理解的是，本实施例中的同一个网络设备可以是可移动的网络设备，例如卫星、移动的基站等，那么所述多个测量结果可以是终端对同一个网络设备移动到不同位置时发出的定位参考信号分别进行测量得到的。
例如网络设备可以移动到n(n为大于0的整数)个位置，在其中每个位置，网络设备可以发出定位参考信号，从而在n个位置共发出n个定位参考信号，相对应地，终端可以针对网络设备每次发出的定位参考信号进行测量，从而得到n个测量结果，以及n个测量结果的关联信息。
如前所述，在非地面网络中，终端通常只处于一个卫星的覆盖范围内，即终端只能够接收到一个卫星的定位参考信号，即终端无法测量到多个卫星发送的定位参考 信号，从而网络侧也就无法确定多个卫星的位置，进而根据多个卫星的位置和测量结果来确定终端的位置。
而根据本实施例，终端可以对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行多次测量，即终端可以接收网络设备在处于不同位置时分别发出的定位参考信号得到多个测量结果，这等效于针对在每个位置都存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号。
从而终端将多个测量结果和测量结果的关联信息通过网络设备发送至LMF后，LMF可以根据测量结果的关联信息可以确定网络设备发出每个定位参考信号时所在的位置，等效于确定了多个网络设备的位置，进而可以根据确定的多个位置以及多个测量结果确定终端的位置。据此，针对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行测量，即可实现对终端位置的计算。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为用于确定所述时间差的多个定位参考信号的到达时间或所述多个定位参考信号的到达时间对应的发送时间。
在该实施例中，由于定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差通常是通过将两个定位参考信号的到达时间相减而得到，因此当测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差时，终端可以将这两个定位参考信号所对应的到达时间或发送时间均上报至网络侧。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，定位参考信号B的到达时间为t2，那么终端可以将这两个定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端需要将用于确定该时间差的定位参考信号的到达时间，即t1和t2，均发送至网络设备；或者终端也可以将这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间，即定位参考信号A和定位参考信号B的发送时间均通过网络设备发送至LMF。
当然，应当理解的是，当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差时，终端所发送的时间信息中包含的两个时间(到达时间或者接收时间)与时间差之间的关系，可以根据需要通过显示或隐示的方式来指示，本公开对此不作限制。
举例而言，若时间信息中包括t1和t2这两个到达时间，则其所关联的时间差可以被理解为(t1-t2)也可以被理解为(t2-t1)，因此为了避免理解错误，终端与网 络设备或者LMF可以在时间信息中指示或者预先根据协议约定终端所发送的时间信息中的第一部分对应于计算时间差的被减数，第二部分对应于计算到达时间差时的减数。
例如当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)时，那么终端可以通过多个IE(Information element，信息元素)发送两个时间信息t1、t2，多个IE中的第一IE用于指示t1，多个IE中的第二IE用于指示t2，则LMF在接收到该多个IE后，可以根据第一IE确定t1根据第二IE确定t2，从而可以确定t1为时间差中的被减数，t2为时间差中的减数。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果为所述定位参考信号的到达时间，且所述关联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为所述定位参考信号的发送时间。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，且终端将定位参考信号A的到达时间t1作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端可以将该到达时间所对应的发送时间，即定位参考信号A的发送时间通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为所述定位参考信号的到达时间或所述到达时间对应的发送时间。
举例而言，终端测量网络设备发送的下行定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，离该到达时间t1最近的上行发送时间为t2，则终端可以将该到达时间t1和该上行发送时间t2的时间差作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端可以将该到达时间t1通过网络设备发送至LMF，或者也可以将该发送时间t2通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在用于确定所述时间差的多个到达时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或在用于确定所述时间差的多个到达时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
在该实施例中，由于定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差通常是通过将两个定位 参考信号的到达时间相减而得到，因此当测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差时，可以将在这两个定位参考信号所对应的到达时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息均上报至网络侧，或者将在这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息均上报至网络侧。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，定位参考信号B的到达时间为t2，那么终端可以将这两个定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为位置信息或星历信息，则终端需要将在用于确定该时间差的定位参考信号的到达时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，即在t1时刻网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，以及在t2时刻网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，均通过网络设备发送至LMF；或者终端也可以将在这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，即在定位参考信号A的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，以及在定位参考信号B的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，均通过网络设备发送至LMF。
当然，应当理解的是，当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差时，终端所发送的关联信息中包含的两个位置信息或星历信息与时间差之间的关系，可以根据需要通过显示或隐示的方式来指示，本公开对此不作限制。
举例而言，若测量结果为时间差(t1-t2)，关联信息包括星历信息1和星历信息2，其中，t1时刻对应星历信息1，t2时刻对应星历信息2，但是有可能被误解为t1时刻对应星历信息2，t2时刻对应星历信息1。
避免理解错误，终端与网络设备或者LMF可以在星历信息中指示或者预先根据协议约定终端所发送的星历信息中的第一部分对应于计算时间差时的被减数，第二部分对应于计算时间差时的减数。
例如当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)时，那么终端可以通过多个IE发送到达时间t1对应的星历信息1和到达时间t2对应的星历信息2，多个IE中的第一IE用于指示星历信息1，多个IE中的第二IE用于指示星历信息2，则LMF在接收到多个IE后，根据第一IE确定星历信息1根据第二IE确定星历信息2，从而确定星历信息1为t1时刻的星历信息，星历信息2为t2时刻的星历信息。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考 信号的到达时间，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
举例而言，若测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间t1，关联信息包括t1时刻对应星历信息1。则终端可以将该到达时间t1对应的星历信息1通过网络设备发送至LMF；或者将在该t1时刻对应的发送时间网络设备的星历信息通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，一种测量结果发送方法，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
举例而言，若测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差(Rx1-Tx1)，关联信息包括Rx1时刻对应的星历信息1，则终端可以将在该到达时间Rx1时刻对应的星历信息1通过网络设备发送至LMF，或者将该到达时间Rx1所对应的发送时间网络设备的星历信息通过网络设备发送至LMF。
图6是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S601中，向网络设备发送配置信息请求。
在一个实施例中，所述配置信息请求用于请求以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间。
在一个实施例中，终端所接收到的配置信息除了由LMF通过网络设备主动发送以外，也可以是基于终端的请求而提供。即终端在需要进行定位时，可以将配置信息请求携带在长期演进定位协议辅助数据请求LPP assistance data request中通过网络设备发送至LMF，以请求LMF通过网络设备向终端提供测量时间和/或测量次数和/或测量结果的数量和/或参考时间。
其中，测量时间、测量次数、测量结果的数量和参考时间的具体内容可以参考上述图2所示实施例中的相关描述，此处不再赘述。
在一个实施例中，终端在将测量得到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联关系通过网络设备发送至LMF后，LMF可以根据接收到每个测量结果的关联关系确定每个测量结果所对应的网络设备的位置，并根据接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果所对应的网络设备的位置计算终端的位置，实现对终端的定位。
图7是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种测量结果接收方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的测量结果接收方法可以由网络侧设备执行，所述网络侧设备可以与终端通信，所述网络侧设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备(例如NB-IoT、MTC、eMTC)等通信装置。
如图7所示，所述测量结果接收方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S701中，接收终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
其中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
根据本实施例，网络设备可以根据接收到的终端发送的多个测量结果计算终端的位置。例如，在只有一个网络设备发送定位参考信号的情况下，终端可以将该网络设备在处于不同位置时分别发出的定位参考信号的测量结果作为多个测量结果发送给网络设备，这等效于在每个位置都存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，终端同时将各位置的网络设备所发出的定位参考信号的测量结果发送给网络设备。据此，即便只存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号，网络设备也可以根据终端发送的多个测量结果实现对终端的定位。
图8是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一 种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S801中，接收终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个所述测量结果的关联信息；
其中，所述关联信息包括以下至少之一：
时间信息；所述网络设备的位置信息；所述网络设备的星历信息。
本公开的所有实施例，可以应用于地面网络，也可以应用于非地面网络。当应用于地面网络中，网络设备包括基站；当应用于非地面网络中，网络设备包括但不限于可以在空中运动的卫星、无人机、空中平台。
在一个实施例中，应用于地面网络，基站在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，可以将接收到的测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，由LMF根据接收到的测量结果以及各基站的位置信息计算终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，应用于非地面网络，网络设备(例如卫星)在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，可以将接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，由LMF根据接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息对终端进行定位。举例而言，卫星在接收到终端发送的多个测量结果和每个测量结果关联的时间信息后，可以将该多个测量结果和每个测量结果关联的时间信息发送给LMF，LMF可以根据接收到的时间信息以及从终端或者基站获取的卫星的星历信息确定每个测量关联的卫星的位置信息，并根据测量结果和每个测量结果关联的位置信息计算终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，应用于非地面网络中，网络设备(例如卫星)在接收到终端发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息后，无需将测量结果以及测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF，而是可以直接根据UE上报的时间信息以及自身存储的星历信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，或者根据UE上报的位置信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，又或者根据UE上报的时间信息和星历信息确定每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置，并根据测量结果和每个测量结果关联的卫星的位置信息计算终端的位置。
以下实施例主要针对应用于非地面网络的场景，网络设备为卫星，且卫星将接收到的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送给LMF的情况进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果发通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
在一实施例中，所述时间信息包括以下至少之一：
世界标准时间(UTC时间)；全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System，GNSS)时间；通信网络时间。
其中，通信网络时间可以包括无线帧radio frame,子帧subframe,符号slot，本公开对此不作限制。时间信息主要用于指示终端测量到的定位参考信号到达时间，或者到达时间所对应的发送时间，以供LMF根据该时间信息确定网络设备所处的位置。
其中，星历信息可以包括网络设备的轨道信息或位置、速度等参数与时间之间的关联关系。根据网络设备的星历信息和上述时间信息，即可确定在时间信息所包含的一个或多个时间网络设备所在的位置。
在一个实施例中，星历信息中网络设备的参数与时间之间的关联关系是可以改变的，因此，关联信息还可以包括星历信息的有效时间，LMF在有效时间内，可以根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，在有效时间外，可以不根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，以避免在网络设备的参数与时间之间的关联关系发生变化后依然根据该星历信息确定网络设备的位置而影响定位的精准度。
其中，位置信息用于指示网络设备的所处位置，可以按照GPS(Global Positioning System，全球定位系统)地理位置的形式显示，可以由终端根据上述时间信息和星历信息进行计算得到。
测量结果的关联信息用于使LMF确定网络设备的位置，因此，本公开中的关 联信息可以被分为两组，即测量结果的关联信息可以仅包括网络设备的位置信息，测量结果的关联信息可以包括时间信息和网络设备的星历信息。
在相关技术中，例如在地面网络中，终端可以针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果以及基站的位置确定终端的位置。
但是，在非地面网络中，卫星会在空中运动，并且一般情况下，终端仅会处于一个卫星的覆盖范围内，所以终端难以针对多个卫星发出的定位参考进行测量。在这种情况下，卫星的位置并不固定，若终端仅仅向网络侧上报定位参考信号的测量结果，网络侧并不能准确确定卫星的位置，也就难以根据卫星的位置准确确定终端的位置。
根据本实施例中，网络设备除了接收终端所发送的定位参考信号的测量结果外，还会接收测量结果的关联信息，包括测量结果关联的时间信息和/或网络设备的位置信息和/或网络设备的星历信息。
据此，即便网络设备的位置不固定，网络设备也可以根据接收到的测量结果的关联信息确定网络设备的位置，进而就可以根据确定出的网络设备的位置以及终端对定位参考信号的测量结果计算出终端的位置。
图9是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送接收的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S901中，向终端发送的配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果。
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间。
在本实施例中，终端可以接收到LMF通过网络设备所提供的用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，并根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端 所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。
例如测量次数与测量结果的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。当测量次数与测量结果的数量相等时，那么可以将每次测量得到的测量结果发送上报至网络侧；当测量次数与测量结果的数量不相等时，例如测量次数大于测量结果的数量，那么可以在多个测量结果中选择该数量的测量结果发送上报至网络侧。
应当理解的是，当配置信息中所包含的测量次数或测量结果数量所指示的是数量下限时，终端可以根据自身的实际能力以及定位的精度需求确定其所要测量的次数或上报的测量结果的数量。
又例如测量次数与测量时间的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。配置信息可以包括测量次数和多个测量时间，且配置信息中所包含的测量时间数量大于测量次数，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以仅选择其中所包含的部分测量时间进行测量。举例而言，配置信息中包括测量次数为4，且包括t1、t2、t3、t4和t5这五个测量时间，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以根据自身需要，仅在t1、t2、t3和t4这四个测量时间测量定位参考信号。
在一个实施例中，参考时间可以用于供终端计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，例如可以当作计算时间差的减数。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间t0时，终端在测量多个定位参考信号的到达时间分别为t1、t2和t3后，可以根据接收到的参考时间t0，计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差分别为(t1-t0)、(t2-t0)和(t3-t0)。
在一个实施例中，参考时间也可以用于指示终端上报至网络侧的定位参考时间的到达时间的精度。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间为00分00秒时，若终端测量得到定位参考信号的到达时间为2022年4月15日12时01分12秒，则终端根据接收到的参考时间，在向网络设备发送定位参考信号的到达时间为01分12秒，较大程度的减少了终端所发送的测量结果的所占比特，节约了传输资源。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以根据需要被分为必要配置信息和非必要配置信息，例如测量时间为必要配置信息，测量次数、测量结果的数量、参考时间可以作为 非必要配置信息。LMF可以根据终端当前所需的定位精度或者当前的传输资源分配情况确定是否发送非必要配置信息。
例如，当LMF确定终端所需的定位精度不高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较少时，LMF通过网络设备可以仅向终端发送必要配置信息；而若终端所需的定位精度较高和/或LMF与终端之间的传输资源较多时，LMF可以将必要配置信息和非必要配置信息一同通过网络设备提供给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息可以根据需要被分为必要配置信息和非必要配置信息，其中必要配置信息和非必要配置信息可以一次性发送给终端，也可以分成两次进行发送，本公开对此不作限制。举例而言，LMF通过网络设备可以先向终端发送必要配置信息，在接收到终端针对非必要配置信息的请求的情况下，再将非必要配置信息发送给终端。
在一个实施例中，配置信息携带在以下至少之一中：长期演进定位协议提供辅助数据LPP provide assistance data；长期演进定位协议位置信息请求LPP location information request。举例而言，LMF可以通过发送携带有测量时间的LPP provide assistance data，以向终端提供测量定位参考信号的时间信息，然后再通过发送携带有测量结果数量的LPP location information request，以请求终端上报定位参考信号的测量结果。
在一个实施例中，LMF无需通过网络设备向终端发送配置信息，终端可以根据自身能力和/或自身实现自行确定配置信息，并根据自行确定的配置信息对定位参考信号进行测量。例如，终端可以在确定自身处于非地面网络中，且需要进行定位的情况下，可以自行确定测量定位参考信号的时间、测量定位参考信号的次数、测量结果的参考时间、以及发送至网络设备的测量结果的数量。
图10是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果发送方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S1001中，向终端发送配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果；
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间；
在步骤S1002中，接收终端根据所述配置信息发送的定位参考信号的多个测量 结果。
在本实施例中，LMF可以通过网络设备向终端提供用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，以使终端根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号，并将定位参考信号的多个测量结果发送至网络设备。例如，在地面网络中，终端可以根据接收到的配置信息针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果确定终端的位置。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。
例如测量次数与测量结果的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。当测量次数与测量结果的数量相等时，那么可以将每次测量得到的测量结果发送上报至网络侧；当测量次数与测量结果的数量不相等时，例如测量次数大于测量结果的数量，那么可以在多个测量结果中选择该数量的测量结果发送上报至网络侧。
应当理解的是，当配置信息中所包含的测量次数或测量结果数量所指示的是数量下限时，终端可以根据自身的实际能力以及定位的精度需求确定其所要测量的次数或上报的测量结果的数量。
又例如测量次数与测量时间的数量可以相等，也可以不相等。配置信息可以包括测量次数和多个测量时间，且配置信息中所包含的测量时间数量大于测量次数，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以仅选择其中所包含的部分测量时间进行测量。举例而言，配置信息中包括测量次数为4，且包括t1、t2、t3、t4和t5这五个测量时间，则终端在接收到配置信息后可以根据自身需要，仅在t1、t2、t3和t4这四个测量时间测量定位参考信号。
在一个实施例中，参考时间可以用于供终端计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，例如可以当作计算时间差的减数。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间t0时，终端在测量多个定位参考信号的到达时间分别为t1、t2和t3后，可以根据接收到的参考时间t0，计算定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差分别为(t1-t0)、(t2-t0)和(t3-t0)。
在一个实施例中，参考时间也可以用于指示终端上报至网络侧的定位参考时间的到达时间的精度。举例而言，当配置信息中包含参考时间为00分00秒时，若终端测量得到定位参考信号的到达时间为2022年4月15日12时01分12秒，则终端根据接收到的参考时间，在向网络设备发送定位参考信号的到达时间为01分12秒，较大程度的减少了终端所发送的测量结果的所占比特，节约了传输资源。

所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。
当所采用的定位技术为Multi-RTT(multi Round Trip Time，多种往返时间)时，终端可以下行定位参考信号的到达时间与上行定位参考信号的发送时间的时间差(即Rx-Tx timing difference，接收时间与发送时间的时间差)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以便LMF可以根据Multi-RTT定位技术计算终端位置。
根据本实施例，网络设备可以向终端提供用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息测量定位参考信号，使得终端可以根据配置信息较为准确的提供定位所需的测量结果发送至网络设备，使得网络设备可以根据接收到的测量结果计算终端的位置。
图11是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种测量结果接收方法的示意流程图。一种测量结果发送方法，所述方法包括：
在步骤S1101中，向终端发送的配置信息，所述配置信息用于指示所述终端网络设备发送定位参考信号的多个测量结果；
其中，所述配置信息包括以下至少之一：
测量时间；测量次数；测量结果的数量；参考时间；
在步骤S1102中，接收终端根据所述配置信息发送的定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个所述测量结果的关联信息；
其中，所述关联信息包括以下至少之一：
时间信息、所述网络设备的位置信息、所述网络设备的星历信息。
在本实施例中，LMF可以通过网络设备向终端提供用于测量定位参考信号的配置信息，以使终端根据接收到的配置信息测量定位参考信号，并将定位参考信号的多个测量结果和每个测量结果的关联信息发送至网络设备。
其中，测量时间用于指示终端在所述测量时间测量定位参考信号，例如在需要针对同一个网络设备在不同位置发出的定位参考信号多次进行测量时，配置信息中可以包括多个测量时间，或者包括起始测量时间和测量周期，终端据此可以进行多次测 量得到多个测量结果。
其中，测量次数用于指示终端测量定位参考信号的次数，其指示的可以是终端所要测量的具体次数，也可以指示的是终端所要进行测量的次数下限，本公开对此不作限制。
其中，测量结果的数量用于指示终端所要上报的测量结果的数量，其指示的可以是终端所要上报的测量结果的具体数量，也可以指示的是终端所要上报的测量结果的数量下限，本公开对此不作限制。

其中，所述测量结果包括以下至少之一：
所述定位参考信号的到达时间；所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差；所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差。
当所采用的定位技术为TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival，到达时间差)时，终端可以将定位参考信号的到达时间或定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF，以使LMF可以根据TDOA定位技术计算终端位置。

其中，所述时间信息包括以下至少之一：
世界标准时间(UTC时间)；全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System，GNSS)时间；通信网络时间。
其中，通信网络时间可以包括无线帧radio frame,子帧subframe,符号slot，本公开对此不作限制。时间信息主要用于指示终端测量到的定位参考信号到达时间，或者到达时间所对应的定位参考信号的发送时间，以供LMF根据该时间信息确定发送定位参考信号的网络设备所处的位置。
其中，星历信息可以包括网络设备的轨道信息或位置、速度等参数与时间之间的关联关系。根据网络设备的星历信息和上述时间信息，即可确定在时间信息所包含的一个或多个时间网络设备所在的位置。
当然，星历信息中参数与时间之间的关联关系是可以改变的，因此，关联信息还可以包括星历信息的有效时间，LMF在有效时间内，可以根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，在有效时间外，可以不根据关联信息中的星历信息确定网络设备的位置，以避免在网络设备的参数与时间之间的关联关系发生变化后依然根据该星历信息确定网络设备的位置而影响定位的精准度。
其中，位置信息用于指示网络设备的所处位置，可以按照GPS(Global Positioning System，全球定位系统)地理位置的形式显示，可以由终端根据上述时间信息和星历信息进行计算得到。
在本公开中，测量结果的关联信息主要用于使LMF确定测量结果所关联的网络设备的位置，因此，上述关联信息可以被分为三组，即测量结果的关联信息可以仅包括网络设备的位置信息；或者测量结果的关联信息可以包括时间信息和网络设备的星历信息，LMF在接收到关联信息后可以根据时间信息和网络设备的星历信息确定网络设备的位置信息；又或者测量结果的关联信息可以只包括时间信息，LMF可以向基站请求网络设备的星历信息或者位置信息，根据关联信息中所包含的时间信息以及基站所返回的星历信息或位置信息确定网络设备的位置信息。
在相关技术中，例如在地面网络中，终端可以针对多个基站发送的定位参考信号进行测量，并将测量结果发送至核心网，以供核心网根据测量结果以及基站的位置确定终端的位置。
但是，在非地面网络中，卫星会在空中运动，并且一般情况下，终端仅会处于 一个卫星的覆盖范围内，所以终端难以针对多个卫星发出的定位参考进行测量。在这种情况下，卫星的位置并不固定，若终端仅仅向网络侧上报定位参考信号的测量结果，网络侧并不能准确确定卫星的位置，也就难以根据卫星的位置准确确定终端的位置。
根据本实施例，终端除了根据配置信息发送定位参考信号的测量结果外，还会将与测量结果关联的时间信息和/或网络设备的位置信息和/或网络设备的星历信息作为测量结果的关联信息一同通过网络设备发送至LMF。
据此，即便网络设备的位置不固定，网络设备也可以通过向终端发送配置信息以指示终端根据配置信息确定并上报定位参考信号的测量结果和测量结果的关联信息，从而根据终端上报的测量结果的关联信息确定网络设备的位置，进而就可以根据确定出的网络设备的位置以及终端对定位参考信号的测量结果计算出终端的位置。
在一个实施例中，所述多个测量结果为对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行多次测量得到。
应当理解的是，本实施例中的同一个网络设备可以是可移动的网络设备，例如卫星、移动的基站等，那么所述多个测量结果可以是终端对同一个网络设备移动到不同位置时发出的定位参考信号分别进行测量得到的。
例如网络设备可以移动到n(n为大于0的整数)个位置，在其中每个位置，网络设备可以发出定位参考信号，从而在n个位置共发出n个定位参考信号，相对应地，终端可以针对网络设备每次发出的定位参考信号进行测量，从而得到n个测量结果，以及n个测量结果的关联信息。
如前所述，在非地面网络中，终端通常只处于一个卫星的覆盖范围内，即终端只能够接收到一个卫星的定位参考信号，即终端无法测量到多个卫星发送的定位参考信号，从而网络侧也就无法确定多个卫星的位置，进而根据多个卫星的位置和测量结果来确定终端的位置。
而根据本实施例，终端可以对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行多次测量，即终端可以接收网络设备在处于不同位置时分别发出的定位参考信号得到多个测量结果，这等效于针对在每个位置都存在一个网络设备发出定位参考信号。
从而LMF在通过网络设备接收到终端所发送的多个测量结果和测量结果的关联信息后，根据测量结果的关联信息可以确定网络设备发出每个定位参考信号时所在的位置，等效于确定了多个网络设备的位置，进而可以根据确定的多个位置以及多个 测量结果确定终端的位置。据此，针对同一个网络设备发出的定位参考信号进行测量，即可实现对终端位置的计算。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为用于确定所述时间差的多个定位参考信号的到达时间或所述多个定位参考信号的到达时间对应的发送时间。
在该实施例中，由于定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差通常是通过将两个定位参考信号的到达时间相减而得到，因此当终端通过网络设备发送至LMF的测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差时，可以将这两个定位参考信号所对应的到达时间或发送时间均上报至网络侧。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，定位参考信号B的到达时间为t2，那么终端可以将这两个定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端需要将用于确定该时间差的定位参考信号的到达时间，即t1和t2，均通过网络设备发送至LMF；或者终端也可以将这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间，即定位参考信号A和定位参考信号B的发送时间均通过网络设备发送至LMF。
当然，应当理解的是，当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差时，终端所发送的时间信息中包含的两个时间(到达时间或者接收时间)与时间差之间的关系，可以根据需要通过显示或隐示的方式来指示，本公开对此不作限制。
举例而言，若时间信息中包括t1和t2这两个到达时间，则其所关联的时间差可以被理解为(t1-t2)也可以被理解为(t2-t1)，因此为了避免理解错误，终端与LMF可以在时间信息中指示或者预先根据协议约定终端所发送的时间信息中的第一部分对应于计算时间差的被减数，第二部分对应于计算到达时间差时的减数。
例如当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)时，那么终端可以通过多个IE(Information element，信息元素)发送两个时间信息t1、t2，多个IE中的第一IE用于指示t1，多个IE中的第二IE用于指示t2，则LMF在接收到该多个IE后，可以根据第一IE确定t1根据第二IE确定t2，从而可以确定t1为时间差中的被减数，t2为时间差中的减数。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果为所述定位参考信号的到达时间，且所述关 联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为所述定位参考信号的发送时间。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，且终端将定位参考信号A的到达时间t1作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端可以将该到达时间所对应的发送时间，即定位参考信号A的发送时间通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为时间信息时，所述时间信息为所述定位参考信号的到达时间。
举例而言，终端测量网络设备发送的下行定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，则终端可以将定位参考信号A的到达时间t1作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为时间信息，则终端可以将该到达时间t1通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在用于确定所述时间差的多个到达时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或在用于确定所述时间差的多个到达时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
在该实施例中，由于定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差通常是通过将两个定位参考信号的到达时间相减而得到，因此当终端通过网络设备发送至LMF的测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差时，可以将在这两个定位参考信号所对应的到达时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息均上报至网络侧，或者将在这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息均上报至网络侧。
举例而言，终端测量得到定位参考信号A的到达时间为t1，定位参考信号B的到达时间为t2，那么终端可以将这两个定位参考信号的到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)作为测量结果通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在这种情况下，若终端所发送的测量结果的关联信息为位置信息或星历信息，则终端需要将在用于确定该时间差的定位参考信号的到达时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，即在t1时刻网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，以及在t2时刻网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，均通过网络设备发送至LMF；或者终端也可以将在这两个到达时间所对应的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，即在定位参考信号A的发送时 间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，以及在定位参考信号B的发送时间网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，均通过网络设备发送至LMF。
当然，应当理解的是，当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差时，终端所发送的关联信息中包含的两个位置信息或星历信息与时间差之间的关系，可以根据需要通过显示或隐示的方式来指示，本公开对此不作限制。
举例而言，若测量结果为时间差(t1-t2)，关联信息包括星历信息1和星历信息2，其中，t1时刻对应星历信息1，t2时刻对应星历信息2，但是有可能被误解为t1时刻对应星历信息2，t2时刻对应星历信息1。
避免理解错误，终端与LMF可以在星历信息中指示或者预先根据协议约定终端所发送的星历信息中的第一部分对应于计算时间差时的被减数，第二部分对应于计算时间差时的减数。
例如当终端所发送的测量结果为到达时间的时间差(t1-t2)时，那么终端可以通过多个IE发送到达时间t1对应的星历信息1和到达时间t2对应的星历信息2，多个IE中的第一IE用于指示星历信息1，多个IE中的第二IE用于指示星历信息2，则LMF在接收到多个IE后，根据第一IE确定星历信息1根据第二IE确定星历信息2，从而确定星历信息1为t1时刻的星历信息，星历信息2为t2时刻的星历信息。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
举例而言，若测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间t1，关联信息包括t1时刻对应星历信息1。则终端可以将该到达时间t1对应的星历信息1通过网络设备发送至LMF；或者将在该t1时刻对应的发送时间网络设备的星历信息通过网络设备发送至LMF。
在一个实施例中，当所述测量结果包括所述定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差，且所述关联信息为位置信息或星历信息时，所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息，或所述位置信息或星历信息为在所述达到时间对应的发送时间所述网络设备的位置信息或星历信息。
举例而言，若测量结果为定位参考信号的到达时间与发送时间的时间差 (Rx1-Tx1)，关联信息包括Rx1时刻对应的星历信息1，则终端可以将在该到达时间Rx1时刻对应的星历信息1通过网络设备发送至LMF，或者将该到达时间Rx1所对应的发送时间网络设备的星历信息通过网络设备发送至LMF。

在一个实施例中，LMF可以在任意时刻主动向基站发送位置信息获取请求或星历信息获取请求，例如，LMF可以是在接收到终端发送的测量结果前向基站发送星历信息获取请求，以获取网络设备的星历信息。
其中，LMF可以在接收到终端所发送的多个测量结果个每个测量结果的关联信息后，若关联信息中仅包含时间信息，则LMF可以向基站发送星历信息获取请求，以 请求基站提供对应于该时间信息的星历信息。
