- the positioning reference signal In the 3GPP R16 positioning system, the positioning reference signal (PRS) is sent periodically, rather than customized according to the positioning requirements of the terminal.
- PRS positioning reference signal
- gNB/TRP When there is no positioning requirement on the terminal or network side, gNB/TRP will also send PRS. Therefore, PRS resources will be wasted and interference will be caused to neighboring cells.
- the terminal For the PRS sent periodically, when the terminal has a positioning requirement, the terminal needs to wait until the scheduled PRS sending time to receive the PRS.
- the PRS transmission period directly affects the time delay of the positioning service.
- On-demand PRS may only be sent aperiodically within a time period.
- the On-demand PRS resource to be measured by the terminal may come from one or more gNB/TRP.
- one of the ways to support on-demand PRS may be that the Location Management Function (LMF) notifies the UE of the On-demand PRS resource configuration. But according to the existing protocol standard, the LMF does not know the UE measurement gap (MG) configuration. Therefore, the On-demand PRS provided by the LMF to the UE may not fall within the measurement gap configured for the UE.

- the embodiment of this application provides the corresponding measurement gap configuration method for on-demand PRS, including the following three solutions:
- Solution 1 For the situation that the terminal has been configured with a periodic measurement gap (Measurement Gap, MG), the UE or the serving base station (serving gNB) informs the LMF of the relevant parameters of the UE measurement gap, so that the LMF provides the terminal to each gNB (including the serving gNB) When requesting PRS with each neighboring base station (neighboring gNBs), each gNB may be required to configure the PRS during the periodic MG period of the UE. In this way the UE does not need to request a new MG.
- the LMF may request related parameters of the measurement gap from the UE or the serving base station, or the UE or the serving base station (serving gNB) actively informs the LMF of the related parameters of the UE measurement gap.
- the LMF needs to request the gNB/UE to report the periodic MG, and recommend the PRS configuration according to the periodic MG configured by the terminal (so that the PRS is in the MG), and then inform the UE of the PRS configuration provided by the gNB.
- LMF recommends PRS configuration to each gNB according to the configured MG
- gNB configures PRS according to the PRS configuration recommended by LMF
- the LMF notifies the UE of the PRS configuration of the gNB.
- the UE or gNB notifies the LMF of the measurement gap of the UE.
- the LMF informs the serving cell and/or neighboring cell of the on-demand PRS configuration interval.
- Solution 2 The LMF determines the transmission time of the on-demand PRS according to whether the terminal supports the positioning measurement capability without a measurement gap.
- the LMF recommends the best PRS configuration (for example, the minimum delay) to each gNB according to the terminal capability.
- the terminal does not support positioning measurement without measurement gaps, when the LMF requests on-demand PRS from each gNB (including serving gNB and each neighboring gNBs) for the terminal, it should reserve The time of MG reconfiguration between the moments of PRS. Therefore, after receiving the on-demand PRS configuration information, if necessary (that is, if the on-demand PRS does not fall in the configured MG), the UE can request the base station to configure the MG or update the MG, and the serving cell will be reconfigured according to the UE's application Measure the gap. Compared with the first solution, the delay of the second solution is reduced.
- LMF recommends the best PRS configuration to each gNB according to UE capabilities
- UE applies for MG configuration and reconfiguration according to the transmission time period of on-demand PRS;
- the time for MG reconfiguration should be reserved.
- the LMF notifies the terminal of the transmission time of the on-demand PRS.
- the LMF requires or notifies the serving base station to reconfigure the MG through the UE.
- the serving cell and neighboring cells configure on-demand PRS, they notify the LMF of the candidate or actually sent on-demand PRS information, and the LMF recommends MG information according to the on-demand PRS configuration information of the serving cell and neighboring cells, and then the LMF Send the recommended MG information to the serving cell, or the LMF notifies the UE of the MG before notifying the UE of the on-demand PRS, so that the UE obtains the reconfigured MG before detecting the on-demand PRS.
- the delay of this scheme is small, and the number of signaling interactions used to update the measurement gap is small.
- Step 1 The serving gNB and the neighboring gNB report the candidate PRS resource pool to the LMF.
- Step 2 The LMF determines the recommendation information of the PRS according to the candidate PRS resource pool.
- the recommendation information of the PRS includes one or a combination of the following:
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the start time of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the suspension time of the measurement gap
- on-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the duration of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the period of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the number of repetitions of the measurement gap
- the recommendation information of the PRS is requested by a user or a base station.
- Step 3 The LMF sends the recommended PRS or PRS parameters to the serving gNB and neighboring gNBs, and at the same time recommends the best MG configuration to the serving cell.
- the serving gNB and the neighboring gNB send an on-demand PRS request response to the LMF to determine the on-demand PRS configuration.
- Step 4 The serving cell performs MG reconfiguration according to the recommended MG.
- the standardization impact of this scheme lies in: the first three steps above all have an impact on standardization.
- Step 1 The LMF will notify each base station of the desired On-demand PRS parameters, that is, the PRS recommendation information, according to the positioning requirements of the UE.
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the start time of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the suspension time of the measurement gap
- on-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the duration of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the period of the measurement gap
- On-demand PRS or on-demand PRS corresponds to the number of repetitions of the measurement gap
- the serving cell can determine the time information of the MG and the frequency of the MG according to the start and end time of on-demand PRS transmission and the frequency of on-demand PRS transmission.
- Step 2 The serving cell and neighboring cells configure on-demand PRS according to the desired On-demand PRS parameters, and notify the LMF to configure on-demand PRS.
- Step 3 Based on these configured on-demand PRSs, the LMF notifies the UE of the on-demand PRSs to be measured, and these PRSs to be measured are actually sent PRSs.
- the LMF may notify the serving cell of the MG configuration at this step.
- Step 4 When the PRS actually sent is different from the configured on-demand PRS notified by the base station, the LMF should notify the base station to finally notify the UE of the measured PRS, so that the resources corresponding to other PRS not used for UE measurement will be used for other transmissions.
- the high-level signaling here may be, for example, that the base station instructs the UE which scheme to adopt through RRC signaling.
- the execution process on the LMF side specifically includes:
- Step 1 LMF sends a request for On-demand PRS related information to each base station or terminal.

- the On-demand PRS configuration request includes: the configuration time period of the on-demand PRS, that is, the information of the on-demand PRS.
- the On-demand PRS candidate configuration request is a request to provide a candidate on-demand PRS configuration time period (that is, a resource pool for a time period).
- the feature of this step is that: the LMF sends an information request to each base station, and sends a measurement MG, and the on-demand PRS of each base station should fall on the measurement MG.
- This processing corresponds to option one.
- Step 1 may include, for example: the LMF requests the terminal or the base station whether the terminal supports the reporting of positioning and measurement capabilities without measurement gaps;
- Step 1 may further include: requesting the terminal or the base station to report the information of the measurement gap.

- the serving cell when configuring the on-demand PRS, notifies the LMF terminal of the location of the MG.
- the UE notifies the LMF of the time position of the MG, specifically including:
- the UE When the UE reports the capability, it notifies the MG of the time position (Scheme 2), and/or whether the terminal supports positioning measurement without measurement gaps (Solution 1).
- the gNB/UE notifies the LMF of the time position of the MG, which specifically includes (corresponding to Scheme 1): the LMF notifies the neighbor cell of the expected time position of the on-demand PRS, and the expected time is within the MG, which can reduce signaling The time of notification.
- Step 3 The LMF notifies the terminal/serving cell of the second on-demand PRS related information.
- the second on-demand PRS related information includes: on-demand PRS configuration, at least one of MG.
- step 3 may specifically include:
