Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the disclosure is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on a cellular mobile communication technology, and may include: a number of UEs 11 and a number of access devices 12.

Wherein UE 11 may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The UE 11 may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN), and the UE 11 may be an internet of things UE such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with an internet of things UE, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted device. Such as a Station (STA), subscriber unit (subscriber unit), subscriber Station (subscriber Station), mobile Station (mobile Station), mobile Station (mobile), remote Station (remote Station), access point, remote terminal (remote terminal), access terminal (access terminal), user terminal (user terminal), user agent (user agent), user device (user equipment), or user UE (UE). Alternatively, the UE 11 may be an unmanned aerial vehicle device. Alternatively, the UE 11 may be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, a laptop with a wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device externally connected to the laptop. Alternatively, the UE 11 may be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices having a wireless communication function.

Access device 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. Wherein the wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (the 4th generation mobile communication,4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system; alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a New Radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a next generation system of the 5G system. Among them, the access network in the 5G system may be called NG-RAN (New Generation-Radio Access Network, new Generation radio access network). Or, an MTC system.

Wherein the access device 12 may be an evolved access device (eNB) employed in a 4G system. Alternatively, access device 12 may be an access device (gNB) in a 5G system that employs a centralized and distributed architecture. When the access device 12 employs a centralized and distributed architecture, it typically includes a Centralized Unit (CU) and at least two Distributed Units (DUs). A protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (Radio Link Control, RLC) layer, and a medium access control (Media Access Control, MAC) layer is provided in the centralized unit; a Physical (PHY) layer protocol stack is provided in the distribution unit, and the specific implementation of the access device 12 is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In various embodiments, the wireless air interface is a fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard-based wireless air interface; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; alternatively, the wireless air interface may be a wireless air interface based on a 5G-based technology standard of a next generation mobile communication network.

For better understanding of the technical solutions described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, first, a part of the UE positioning in the related art is described:

in some usage scenarios, the core network may configure the UE with specific DRX parameters; for example, the core network may configure the DRX parameters for the UE when the UE initializes the attachment network or when a tracking area update is performed. In addition, the base station also configures specific DRX parameters for the UE; for example, the base station configures DRX parameters for the UE through a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message. However, currently, when positioning the UE, such as LPHA positioning, the network configures PRS parameters for the UE, but the DRX parameters of the UE are irrelevant to the PRS parameters of the UE; the following situation may occur: during the discontinuous reception off (DRX off) phase, the UE needs to measure PRS, resulting in additional power consumption by the UE. PRS alignment with DRX is proposed, namely: during discontinuous reception on (DRX on) phase, the UE measures PRS; during the DRX off phase, the UE does not need to measure PRS, i.e. does not transmit PRS during the DRX off phase. In this way, the embodiment of the disclosure provides an information processing method, in which the PRS parameter is aligned (or matched) with the DRX parameter by obtaining the updated PRS parameter through the LMF, so that the PRS parameter does not need to be transmitted in the DRX off phase, and the additional power consumption of the UE caused by the PRS transmission in the DRX off phase is reduced. Here, the DRX parameter may be a conventional DRX parameter or eDRX parameter.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is performed by an LMF, including:

step S21: sending a first request to a base station, wherein the first request is used for requesting PRS parameters; the PRS parameters are matched to the DRX parameters of the UE.

The LMFs, etc. of the embodiments of the present disclosure, referred to below as AMFs, may be logical nodes or functions that can be flexibly deployed in a communication network. Illustratively, the LMF, AMF, etc. may be logical nodes or functions in the core network that can be flexibly deployed.

The UE of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be, but is not limited to, various mobile terminals or fixed terminals; for example, the first UE, the second UE may each be, but are not limited to, a cell phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, a multimedia device, or the like.

The base station of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be, but is not limited to, a base station may be various types of base stations, for example, may be, but is not limited to, at least one of: 3G base station, 4G base station, 5G base station and other evolution base stations.

Interaction between the UE and a network element (e.g., LMF and/or AMF) of the core network involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure needs to be forwarded through a network element (e.g., base station) of the access network. For example, the UE sends information to the LMF, which may be that the UE sends information to the LMF through the base station; for example, the UE sends an LTE positioning protocol (LTE Positioning Protocol, LPP) message to the LMF through the base station; the UE sends information to the LMF through the base station, including: the UE sends the information to the base station, which forwards the information to the LMF. The forwarding here may be transparent forwarding. Also, the UE receives information sent by the LMF, which may be: the UE receives information sent by the LMF through a base station; for example, the UE receives an LPP message transmitted by the LMF through the base station.

In one embodiment, the PRS parameters match the DRX parameters of the UE, which may be: the PRS parameters are aligned with the DRX parameters of the UE.

In another embodiment, the PRS parameters are aligned with the DRX parameters of the UE, which may also refer to: the timing of the PRS transmissions is synchronized with the DRX on phase.

In yet another embodiment, PRS parameters are matched or aligned with DRX of a UE, which may be: PRS is sent during DRX On phase and/or PRS is not sent during DRX off phase. This reduces the additional power consumption due to PRS transmissions on DRX off.

In one embodiment, the first request includes indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the PRS parameter matches the DRX parameter.

In another embodiment, the first request includes indication information indicating that the PRS period matches the DRX period.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, performed by an LMF, including: and sending a first request to the base station, wherein the first request comprises indication information, and the indication information is used for indicating that the PRS parameter is matched with the DRX parameter.

As such, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the PRS parameter DRX parameter match may be requested by carrying indication information in the first request, or by requesting that the PRS period match the DRX period.

In one embodiment, the first request is for requesting updated PRS parameters that match the DRX parameters.

In any of the embodiments referred to in this disclosure, the DRX parameters may be conventional DRX parameters or extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) parameters. In any of the embodiments referred to in this disclosure, the DRX cycle may be a conventional DRX cycle or an extended DRX (eDRX) cycle.

In another embodiment, the DRX parameter may be a long DRX cycle related DRX parameter or may be a short DRX cycle related DRX parameter.

In one embodiment, the DRX parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of: DRX cycle, discontinuous reception on (DRX on), discontinuous reception off (DRX off), discontinuous reception on timer (DRX on duration timer), discontinuous reception inactive timer (DRX inactivity timer), discontinuous reception downlink retransmission timer (DRX RetransmissionTimerDL), discontinuous reception uplink retransmission timer (DRX RetransmissionTimerUL), discontinuous reception long period start offset (DRX LongCycleStartOffset), discontinuous reception short period timer (DRX ShortCycleTimer), and the like.

In one embodiment, PRS parameters include, but are not limited to, one of the following: PRS period, moment of transmission of PRS, time-frequency domain resources of PRS, resource identity of PRS, PRS sequence identity, PRS bandwidth, etc.

In one embodiment, the PRS parameters, i.e., PRS configuration.

In one embodiment, the DRX cycle may be a DRX cycle or an extended DRX (eDRX) cycle. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the DRX cycle may be a conventional DRX cycle or an extended DRX cycle.

In another embodiment, the DRX cycle may be a long DRX cycle or a short DRX cycle.

the PRS period is the same as the paging period;

the paging cycle is a subset of the PRS cycle;

the sending time of the PRS is in Paging Occasion (PO);

the PRS period is the same as the DRX period;

the DRX cycle is a subset of the PRS cycle;

the PRS period is the same as the discontinuous reception on (DRX on) period;

the DRX on period is a subset of the PRS period;

the PRS sending time is in DRX on;

Illustratively, the DRX cycle may be used to determine a paging cycle of the UE. If the PRS period is the same as the paging period, it is indicated that the PRS is transmitted within the paging period of the UE, i.e., the PRS period is matched to the DRX period. Alternatively, if the paging cycle is a subset of the PRS cycle, the PRS cycle is described as including one or more paging cycles; PRS is transmitted during the paging cycle at this time, i.e., PRS cycle is matched to DRX cycle. In this manner, transmitting PRS during paging cycles may occur while reducing the occurrence of transmitting PRS during times other than paging times, i.e., reducing the additional power consumption associated with transmitting PRS during times other than paging times.

Illustratively, the PRS period is the same as the DRX period, including at least: the starting time of the transmission time of the PRS is the same as the starting time of the DRX on and/or the duration of the transmission of the PRS is the same as the duration of the DRX on. In this way, PRS may be measured (i.e., transmitted) at the beginning of DRX on and/or transmitted for the duration of DRX on, thereby enabling the power consumption of PRS to be transmitted during the DRX off phase. Of course, in other embodiments, the PRS period may be identical to the DRX period, so that PRS may be transmitted during the DRX on phase, which reduces power consumption of the UE to some extent.

Illustratively, the DRX cycle is a subset of the PRS cycle. For example, the period of PRS is 100ms and the DRX period is 50ms; the DRX cycle is a subset of the PRS cycle such that there is no PRS cycle in part of the DRX cycle, but there is a DRX cycle in the PRS cycle. In this way, PRS may be transmitted during the DRX on phase of the DRX cycle, which may reduce power consumption of the UE.

Illustratively, the DRX cycle includes a DRX on cycle and/or a DRX off cycle. The DRX on refers to a DRX on stage in a DRX period; the DRX on period is a subset of the PRS period, illustrating that the DRX on phase transmits PRS. In this way, the embodiment can send PRS in the DRX on phase, and can reduce power consumption caused by sending PRS at other times except for the DRX on phase.

For example, the PRS transmission time is in DRX On, or the PRS transmission time is in DRX On duration timer operation, which may refer to the PRS transmission being during the UE wake-up. After starting or restarting one DRX inactivity timer, the UE will be active until the timer expires; the PRS is thus transmitted at a time during the operation of DRX inactivity timer, also during the wake-up of the UE. In this way, in this embodiment, PRS may be transmitted in the DRX On phase of the UE, so that power consumption caused by PRS being transmitted at other times than the DRX off phase may be reduced.

Illustratively, the PRS period matches the DRX period of the UE, and the transmit time instant including PRS is as much as possible in DRX on, or the transmit time instant including PRS is as much as possible in DRX on duration timer operation, or the transmit time instant including PRS is as much as possible in DRX inactivity timer operation, or the transmit time instant including PRS is as much as possible in DRX on duration timer and DRX inactivity timer operation.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, performed by an LMF, including: and receiving PRS parameters sent by the base station.

In one embodiment, the PRS parameters are determined based on DRX parameters or the base station may consider the DRX parameters of the UE when determining PRS parameters. Illustratively, the LMF receives PRS parameters transmitted by the base station, the PRS parameters determined based on the DRX parameters; thus, the PRS parameters can be updated to match the DRX parameters.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the LMF sends a first request to the base station, wherein the first request is used for requesting PRS parameters; the PRS parameters are matched to the DRX parameters of the UE. The method can be favorable for requesting the PRS parameters by the LMF, enabling the requested PRS parameters to be matched with the DRX of the UE, namely, enabling the PRS parameters of the UE to be aligned with the DRX parameters, for example, not transmitting the PRS in the DRX off period and/or transmitting the PRS in the DRX on period in the DRX period, thereby reducing the extra power consumption caused by transmitting the PRS in the DRX off period by the UE in the related art, reducing the power consumption of the UE, saving the electric quantity of the UE and the like.

It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art may understand, the methods provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first request may be the first request of the above-described embodiments.

In one embodiment, the DRX parameters include at least one of: the first DRX parameter, the second DRX parameter and the paging occasion.

In one embodiment, the first DRX parameter may be a Core Network (CN) DRX parameter configured by the core network for the UE. Exemplary, the first DRX parameters include: CN DRX cycle.
