为了便于理解,以下将以四种可能的应用场景为例对本申请实施例提供 的定位方法的确定方法以及在确定目标定位方法后如何定位目标终端的位置信息进行说明。For ease of understanding, four possible application scenarios will be taken as examples below to illustrate the determination method of the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present application and how to locate the position information of the target terminal after the target positioning method is determined.
第一种应用场景:The first application scenario:
步骤11:Target UE的应用层有定位需求。Step 11: The application layer of the Target UE has positioning requirements.

在确定目标定位方法为UE-configured UE-based sidelink定位方法的情况下,可以执行步骤13至步骤18,进而定位得到Target UE的位置信息。In the case where it is determined that the target positioning method is the UE-configured UE-based sidelink positioning method, steps 13 to 18 can be performed to obtain the location information of the Target UE.
步骤13:Target UE开始在其他UE中选择sidelink定位的Anchor UE(一个或者多个)的过程。Step 13: The Target UE starts the process of selecting the Anchor UE (one or more) positioned by the sidelink among other UEs.
步骤14:对于没有与Target UE建立PC5单播链路(unicast link)的其他UE,Target UE的上层(PC5-S)发起PC5 unicast link建立过程。PC5 unicast link建立过程之后,Target UE与一些其他UE建立了PC5 unicast link。Step 14: For other UEs that have not established a PC5 unicast link (unicast link) with the Target UE, the upper layer (PC5-S) of the Target UE initiates a PC5 unicast link establishment process. After the PC5 unicast link establishment process, the Target UE establishes a PC5 unicast link with some other UEs.
步骤15:Target UE发送sidelink定位相关的信息(比如Target UE的信息(sidelink定位能力、移动状态等)、sidelink定位信息(比如sidelink定位方法、定位精度等)、对其他UE的要求(比如sidelink定位能力要求等)、请求其他UE的信息(比如其他UE的sidelink定位能力、其他UE所处的zone信息、其他UE的移动状态、其他UE的位置信息等))给建立了PC5 unicast link其他UE。Step 15: Target UE sends information related to sidelink positioning (such as Target UE information (sidelink positioning capability, mobile status, etc.), sidelink positioning information (such as sidelink positioning method, positioning accuracy, etc.), requirements for other UEs (such as sidelink positioning Capability requirements, etc.), request information of other UEs (such as sidelink positioning capabilities of other UEs, zone information of other UEs, mobile status of other UEs, location information of other UEs, etc.)) to other UEs that have established PC5 unicast link.
步骤16:其他UE收到Target UE发送的sidelink定位相关的信息后,根据一定规则(比如,其他UE是否满足收到的sidelink定位相关的信息中的“对其他UE的要求”)确定是否发送反馈信息给Target UE。如果需要,其他UE发送反馈信息给Target UE。其中,其他UE的反馈信息,比如可以是其他UE的sidelink定位能力、其他UE所处的zone信息、其他UE的移动状态、其他UE的位置信息等。Step 16: After other UEs receive the sidelink positioning-related information sent by the Target UE, they determine whether to send feedback according to certain rules (for example, whether other UEs meet the "requirements for other UEs" in the received sidelink positioning-related information) Information to Target UE. If necessary, other UEs send feedback information to the Target UE. The feedback information of other UEs may be, for example, sidelink positioning capabilities of other UEs, zone information of other UEs, movement status of other UEs, location information of other UEs, and the like.
步骤17:Target UE根据收到的反馈信息情况,选出用于sidelink定位的Anchor UE。Step 17: The Target UE selects the Anchor UE for sidelink positioning according to the received feedback information.
步骤18:Target UE在选出Anchor UE后,Target UE定位Target UE的位置信息。Step 18: After the Target UE selects the Anchor UE, the Target UE locates the location information of the Target UE.
具体地,Target UE可以通过以下步骤18a-1至步骤18a-3定位Target UE的位置信息,或者,也可以通过以下步骤18b-1至步骤18b-3定位Target UE的位置信息,具体采用哪种方式可以由协议约定、由网络配置(比如网络预配置)、或由Target UE实现等。比如,如果网络侧设备已经预配置给Target UE,则可以通过步骤18a-1至步骤18a-3定位Target UE的位置信息,如果Target UE不具备配置sidelink定位配置信息的能力,则可以通过步骤18b-1至步骤18b-3定位Target UE的位置信息。Specifically, the Target UE can locate the location information of the Target UE through the following steps 18a-1 to 18a-3, or it can also locate the location information of the Target UE through the following steps 18b-1 to 18b-3, which one is used specifically? The method can be stipulated by the protocol, configured by the network (for example, pre-configured by the network), or realized by the Target UE, etc. For example, if the network side device has been pre-configured to the Target UE, the location information of the Target UE can be located through steps 18a-1 to 18a-3, and if the Target UE does not have the ability to configure sidelink positioning configuration information, it can be located through step 18b -1 to step 18b-3 locate the location information of the Target UE.
步骤18a-1:Target UE确定sidelink定位的配置信息(比如旁链路定位参考信号(Positioning Reference Signal,PRS)的配置),可以是网络预配置,也可以是Target UE自己决定。然后Target UE发送该sidelink定位的配置信息给Anchor UE,同时向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息等(可选地,如果步骤15中的反馈信息已经包含“其他UE的位置信息”,则可以不向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息)。Step 18a-1: The Target UE determines the configuration information of sidelink positioning (such as the configuration of the Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) of the sidelink), which may be pre-configured by the network or determined by the Target UE itself. Then the Target UE sends the configuration information of the sidelink positioning to the Anchor UE, and at the same time requests the Anchor UE's location information, etc. Request the location information of the Anchor UE from the Anchor UE).
步骤18a-2:Anchor UE收到Target UE发送的sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE位置信息的请求等后,Anchor UE向Target UE发送sidelink定位的测量结果、Anchor UE的位置信息等。Step 18a-2: After the Anchor UE receives the configuration information of sidelink positioning sent by the Target UE, the request for the location information of the Anchor UE, etc., the Anchor UE sends the measurement result of the sidelink positioning and the location information of the Anchor UE to the Target UE.
步骤18a-3:Target UE收到Anchor UE发送的sidelink定位的测量结果、Anchor UE的位置信息等后,Target UE根据测量结果、Anchor UE位置信息等,计算出Target UE的定位结果。Step 18a-3: After the Target UE receives the sidelink positioning measurement result sent by the Anchor UE, the location information of the Anchor UE, etc., the Target UE calculates the positioning result of the Target UE according to the measurement result and the location information of the Anchor UE.
步骤18b-1:Target UE向Anchor UE请求sidelink定位的配置信息(可以是只发请求,也可以同时发送sidelink定位的配置信息的内容),同时向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息等(可选地,如果步骤15中的反馈信 息已经包含“其他UE的位置信息”,则可以不向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息)。Step 18b-1: The Target UE requests the configuration information of the sidelink positioning from the Anchor UE (it can only send the request, or can also send the content of the configuration information of the sidelink positioning at the same time), and at the same time requests the location information of the Anchor UE from the Anchor UE, etc. (optional Specifically, if the feedback information in step 15 already includes "location information of other UEs", the location information of the Anchor UE may not be requested from the Anchor UE).
步骤18b-2:Anchor UE收到Target UE发送的请求信息后,Anchor UE向Target UE发送sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE的位置信息等。Step 18b-2: After the Anchor UE receives the request information sent by the Target UE, the Anchor UE sends the configuration information of sidelink positioning, the location information of the Anchor UE, etc. to the Target UE.
步骤18b-3:Target UE收到Anchor UE发送的sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE的位置信息等后,Target UE进行sidelink定位测量,根据测量结果、Anchor UE位置信息等,计算出Target UE的定位结果。Step 18b-3: After the Target UE receives the sidelink positioning configuration information sent by the Anchor UE, the location information of the Anchor UE, etc., the Target UE performs sidelink positioning measurement, and calculates the positioning of the Target UE according to the measurement results and the location information of the Anchor UE. result.
第二种应用场景:The second application scenario:
步骤21:Target UE的定位需要被获得,LMF接收location service request消息。Step 21: The location of the Target UE needs to be obtained, and the LMF receives the location service request message.
比如,Target UE的应用层有定位需求(比如,V2X app)且处于网络覆盖范围内,则Target UE向AMF发送location service request消息。AMF收到location service request消息后,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For example, if the application layer of the Target UE has positioning requirements (for example, V2X app) and is within the coverage of the network, the Target UE sends a location service request message to the AMF. After the AMF receives the location service request message, the AMF sends the location service request message to the LMF.
再比如,外部服务器(比如V2X server)有Target UE的定位需求,核心网的LCS entity向AMF发送location service request消息。AMF收到location service request消息后,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For another example, an external server (such as a V2X server) has a positioning requirement of a Target UE, and the LCS entity of the core network sends a location service request message to the AMF. After the AMF receives the location service request message, the AMF sends the location service request message to the LMF.
再比如,AMF有Target UE的定位需求,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For another example, the AMF has a positioning requirement of the Target UE, and the AMF sends a location service request message to the LMF.
步骤22:LMF收到location service request消息后,通过LPP消息(比如,Request Capabilities message)向Target UE and/orAnchor UE请求能力(比如,sidelink定位能力,DL-TDOA定位能力)。Step 22: After receiving the location service request message, the LMF requests capabilities (for example, sidelink positioning capability, DL-TDOA positioning capability) from the Target UE and/or Anchor UE through the LPP message (for example, Request Capabilities message).
步骤23:Target UE and/or Anchor UE收到LMF发送的能力请求消息后,Target UE and/or Anchor UE通过LPP消息(比如,Provide Capabilities message)向LMF反馈自己的能力信息(比如,sidelink定位能力,DL-TDOA定位能力)。Step 23: After Target UE and/or Anchor UE receives the capability request message sent by LMF, Target UE and/or Anchor UE feeds back its capability information (for example, sidelink positioning capability) to LMF through LPP message (for example, Provide Capabilities message) , DL-TDOA positioning capability).
步骤24:LMF根据收到的能力信息反馈情况和/或其他因素(比如,基站能力、QoS要求)从定位方法中确定目标定位方法(比如,决定采用sidelink定位方法,决定采用DL-TODA定位方法,决定采用sidelink定位方法和DL-TDOA定位方法两种定位方法。其中,sidelink定位方法的具体方法可以是四种sidelink定位方法中的任一种)。Step 24: The LMF determines the target positioning method from the positioning methods according to the received capability information feedback and/or other factors (such as base station capabilities, QoS requirements) (for example, decide to use the sidelink positioning method, decide to use the DL-TODA positioning method , it is decided to adopt two positioning methods, the sidelink positioning method and the DL-TDOA positioning method. Wherein, the specific method of the sidelink positioning method may be any one of the four sidelink positioning methods).

在确定目标定位方法为Network-configured UE-based sidelink定位方法的情况下,可以执行步骤25和步骤26,进而定位得到Target UE的位置信息。In the case where it is determined that the target positioning method is the Network-configured UE-based sidelink positioning method, steps 25 and 26 can be performed to obtain the location information of the Target UE.
步骤25:LMF确定sidelink定位配置信息(比如,sidelink PRS的配置)和Anchor UE信息(比如,位置信息),并把两个信息发送给Target UE。具体实现方式可以分为以下几种情况:Step 25: The LMF determines sidelink positioning configuration information (for example, sidelink PRS configuration) and Anchor UE information (for example, location information), and sends the two information to the Target UE.

第三种应用场景:The third application scenario:
步骤31:Target UE的定位需要被获得,LMF接收location service request消息。Step 31: The location of the Target UE needs to be obtained, and the LMF receives the location service request message.
比如,Target UE的应用层有定位需求(比如,V2X app)且处于网络覆盖范围内,则Target UE向AMF发送location service request消息。AMF收 到location service request消息后,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For example, if the application layer of the Target UE has positioning requirements (for example, V2X app) and is within the coverage of the network, the Target UE sends a location service request message to the AMF. After the AMF receives the location service request message, the AMF sends the location service request message to the LMF.
再比如,外部服务器(比如V2X server)有Target UE的定位需求,核心网的LCS entity向AMF发送location service request消息。AMF收到location service request消息后,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For another example, an external server (such as a V2X server) has a positioning requirement of a Target UE, and the LCS entity of the core network sends a location service request message to the AMF. After the AMF receives the location service request message, the AMF sends the location service request message to the LMF.
再比如,AMF有Target UE的定位需求,AMF向LMF发送location service request消息。For another example, the AMF has a positioning requirement of the Target UE, and the AMF sends a location service request message to the LMF.
步骤32:LMF收到location service request消息后,从定位方法中确定目标定位方法。Step 32: After receiving the location service request message, the LMF determines the target location method from the location methods.
LMF从定位方法中确定目标定位方法的具体实现方式可以参见图3所示的实施例,这里不再详细说明。For the specific implementation manner of the LMF determining the target positioning method from the positioning methods, reference may be made to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , which will not be described in detail here.
可选地,若LMF确定采用UE-configured的sidelink定位方法,则LMF通过LPP消息请求Target UE进行UE-configured的sidelink定位。在一种实现方式中,若LMF确定具体采用UE-configured UE-assisted sidelink定位方法,则可以执行以下步骤33至步骤39,进而定位得到Target UE的位置信息。Optionally, if the LMF determines to adopt the UE-configured sidelink positioning method, the LMF requests the Target UE to perform UE-configured sidelink positioning through an LPP message. In an implementation manner, if the LMF determines that the UE-configured UE-assisted sidelink positioning method is specifically adopted, the following steps 33 to 39 may be performed to obtain the location information of the Target UE through positioning.
步骤33:Target UE开始在其他UE中选择sidelink定位的Anchor UE(一个或者多个)的过程。Step 33: The Target UE starts the process of selecting the Anchor UE (one or more) positioned by the sidelink among other UEs.
步骤34:对于没有与Target UE建立PC5 unicast link的其他UE,Target UE的上层(PC5-S)发起PC5 unicast link建立过程;PC5 unicast link建立过程之后,Target UE与一些其他UE建立了PC5 unicast link。Step 34: For other UEs that have not established a PC5 unicast link with the Target UE, the upper layer of the Target UE (PC5-S) initiates the PC5 unicast link establishment process; after the PC5 unicast link establishment process, the Target UE establishes a PC5 unicast link with some other UEs .
步骤35:Target UE发送sidelink定位相关的信息(比如Target UE的信息(sidelink定位能力、移动状态等)、sidelink定位信息(比如sidelink定位方法、定位精度等)、对其他UE的要求(比如sidelink定位能力要求等)、请求其他UE的信息(比如其他UE的sidelink定位能力、其他UE所处的zone信息、其他UE的移动状态、其他UE的位置信息等))给建立了PC5 unicast link其他UE。Step 35: Target UE sends information related to sidelink positioning (such as Target UE information (sidelink positioning capability, mobile status, etc.), sidelink positioning information (such as sidelink positioning method, positioning accuracy, etc.), requirements for other UEs (such as sidelink positioning Capability requirements, etc.), request information of other UEs (such as sidelink positioning capabilities of other UEs, zone information of other UEs, mobile status of other UEs, location information of other UEs, etc.)) to other UEs that have established PC5 unicast link.
步骤36:其他UE收到Target UE发送的sidelink定位相关的信息后,根据一定规则(比如,其他UE是否满足收到的sidelink定位相关的信息中的“对其他UE的要求”)确定是否发送反馈信息给Target UE。如果需要,其他UE发送反馈信息给Target UE。其中,其他UE的反馈信息,比如可以是其他UE的sidelink定位能力、其他UE所处的zone信息、其他UE的移动状态、其他UE的位置信息等。Step 36: After other UEs receive the sidelink positioning-related information sent by the Target UE, determine whether to send feedback according to certain rules (for example, whether other UEs meet the "requirements for other UEs" in the received sidelink positioning-related information) Information to Target UE. If necessary, other UEs send feedback information to the Target UE. The feedback information of other UEs may be, for example, sidelink positioning capabilities of other UEs, zone information of other UEs, movement status of other UEs, location information of other UEs, and the like.
步骤37:Target UE根据收到的反馈信息情况,选出用于sidelink定位的Anchor UE。Step 37: The Target UE selects the Anchor UE for sidelink positioning according to the received feedback information.
步骤38:Target UE在选出Anchor UE后,向LMF发送用于定位的信息。Step 38: After the Target UE selects the Anchor UE, it sends information for positioning to the LMF.
具体地,Target UE可以通过以下步骤38a-1至步骤38a-3向LMF发送用于定位的信息,或者,也可以通过以下步骤38b-1至步骤38b-3向LMF发送用于定位的信息,具体采用哪种方式可以由协议约定、由网络配置(比如网络预配置)、或由Target UE实现等。比如,如果网络侧设备已经预配置给Target UE,则可以通过步骤38a-1至步骤38a-3向LMF发送用于定位的信息,如果Target UE不具备配置sidelink定位配置信息的能力,则可以通过步骤38b-1至步骤38b-3向LMF发送用于定位的信息。Specifically, the Target UE may send information for positioning to the LMF through the following steps 38a-1 to 38a-3, or may also send information for positioning to the LMF through the following steps 38b-1 to 38b-3, Which method to use can be specified by the protocol, configured by the network (such as network pre-configuration), or implemented by the Target UE, etc. For example, if the network-side device has been pre-configured to the Target UE, it can send positioning information to the LMF through steps 38a-1 to 38a-3, and if the Target UE does not have the ability to configure sidelink positioning configuration information, it can pass Steps 38b-1 to 38b-3 send information for positioning to the LMF.
步骤38a-1:Target UE确定sidelink定位的配置信息(比如sidelink PRS的配置),可以是网络预配置的,可以是Target UE自己决定的;然后Target UE发送该sidelink定位的配置信息给Anchor UE,同时向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息等(可选地,如果步骤35中的反馈信息已经包含“其他UE的位置信息”,则可以不向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息)。Step 38a-1: The Target UE determines the sidelink positioning configuration information (such as sidelink PRS configuration), which may be pre-configured by the network or determined by the Target UE itself; then the Target UE sends the sidelink positioning configuration information to the Anchor UE, At the same time, the location information of the Anchor UE is requested from the Anchor UE (optionally, if the feedback information in step 35 already includes "location information of other UEs", the location information of the Anchor UE may not be requested from the Anchor UE).
步骤38a-2:Anchor UE收到Target UE发送的sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE位置信息的请求等后,Anchor UE向Target UE发送sidelink定位的测量结果、Anchor UE的位置信息等。Step 38a-2: After the Anchor UE receives the configuration information of the sidelink positioning sent by the Target UE, the request for the location information of the Anchor UE, etc., the Anchor UE sends the measurement result of the sidelink positioning and the location information of the Anchor UE to the Target UE.
步骤38a-3:Target UE收到Anchor UE发送的sidelink定位的测量结果、Anchor UE的位置信息等后,将收到的信息发送给LMF。Step 38a-3: After receiving the sidelink positioning measurement result sent by the Anchor UE, the location information of the Anchor UE, etc., the Target UE sends the received information to the LMF.
步骤38b-1:Target UE向Anchor UE请求sidelink定位的配置信息(可以是只发请求,也可以同时发送sidelink定位的配置信息的内容),同时向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息等(可选地,如果步骤35中的反馈信息已经包含“其他UE的位置信息”,则可以不向Anchor UE请求Anchor UE的位置信息)。Step 38b-1: The Target UE requests the configuration information of the sidelink positioning from the Anchor UE (it can only send the request, or send the content of the configuration information of the sidelink positioning at the same time), and at the same time requests the location information of the Anchor UE from the Anchor UE (optional Alternatively, if the feedback information in step 35 already includes "location information of other UEs", the location information of the Anchor UE may not be requested from the Anchor UE).
步骤38b-2:Anchor UE收到Target UE发送的请求信息后,Anchor UE向Target UE发送sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE的位置信息等。Step 38b-2: After the Anchor UE receives the request information sent by the Target UE, the Anchor UE sends the configuration information of sidelink positioning, the location information of the Anchor UE, etc. to the Target UE.
步骤38b-3:Target UE收到Anchor UE发送的sidelink定位的配置信息、Anchor UE的位置信息等后,Target UE进行sidelink定位测量;然后Target UE将测量结果、Anchor UE位置信息发送给LMF。Step 38b-3: After the Target UE receives the sidelink positioning configuration information and the location information of the Anchor UE sent by the Anchor UE, the Target UE performs sidelink positioning measurement; then the Target UE sends the measurement results and the Anchor UE location information to the LMF.
步骤39:LMF收到Target UE发送的信息后,计算Target UE的定位结果。然后LMF将定位结果发送给AMF。AMF收到之后,可以将Target UE的定位结果发送给Target UE或者外部应用服务器。Step 39: After receiving the information sent by the Target UE, the LMF calculates the positioning result of the Target UE. Then the LMF sends the positioning result to the AMF. After the AMF receives it, it can send the positioning result of the Target UE to the Target UE or an external application server.
