Description

Information processing method, device and readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, an information processing device, and a readable storage medium.

Background

When the measurement of the positioning reference signal is performed, the terminal needs to be in an awake state to monitor the downlink signal, but this may result in relatively large power consumption of the terminal. Furthermore, for terminals configured with WUS (wake-up), or DCP (DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI, DCI using PS-RNTI scrambling CRC), or PEI (Paging Early Indication, paging indication), it will only continue to monitor paging at the next corresponding paging occasion, or PDCCH (Physical downlink control channel ) at the next corresponding (e) DRX (Discontinuous Reception ) on occasion when WUS, or DCP, or PEI is detected in order to reduce power consumption.

When positioning is performed on a terminal configured with a WUS/DCP/PEI mechanism, the current LMF is likely to cause power consumption waste when the terminal performs positioning measurement in a positioning reference signal configuration mode.

step 301, the base station side receives a third message sent by the LMF, where the third message is used to indicate energy-saving auxiliary information.

The base station side includes the current service base station of the terminal, and may also include neighboring base stations.

For example, the neighboring base station may receive an NRPPa message sent by the LMF for delivering WUS configuration information, or DCP configuration information, or PEI configuration information of the located terminal to the neighboring base station

Wherein the energy saving auxiliary information includes at least one of:

The content included in the third message is the same as the content of the first message, and will not be described herein.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the base station side may further receive PRS configuration information sent by the LMF. For example, the current serving base station or neighboring base station receives PRS configuration information sent by the LMF.

Wherein the PRS configuration information includes at least one of:

positioning a reference signal period;

positioning the offset of the reference signal in each period;

In the embodiment of the application, the base station side receives the third message from the LMF, wherein the third message is used for indicating the energy-saving auxiliary information, so that the scheme of the embodiment of the application can coordinate the configuration of the positioning reference signal with the WUS, or DCP, or PEI configuration of the terminal through the energy-saving auxiliary information, so that the terminal can measure the downlink positioning reference signal while detecting the WUS, or DCP, or PEI, thereby reducing the power consumption of positioning measurement.

In the prior art, when positioning is performed on a terminal configured with a WUS/DCP/PEI mechanism, the current LMF does not coordinate with the WUS/DCP/PEI configuration of the terminal when positioning reference signals are configured, so that the power consumption waste of the terminal when positioning measurement is performed is caused.

To solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present application, the LMF obtains corresponding WUS, or DCP, or PEI related configuration information from a UE (User Equipment) to determine WUS, or DCP, or PEI configuration of a terminal application, and optionally, the LMF performs PRS configuration based on the information. In addition, the LMF may also send the information to the neighboring base station or the current serving base station to configure the downlink positioning reference signal.

In one embodiment of the application, the LMF obtains the corresponding WUS, or DCP, or PEI configuration from the UE side and performs PRS configuration based on these information. In this embodiment, taking LMF to obtain WUS configuration as an example, the interactive flow steps for LMF to obtain other configuration information are similar.

It is assumed that the LMF has previously acquired (e) DRX configuration information, and/or paging configuration information, for the corresponding located UE. The method may include:

step 11, optionally, after the positioning service arrives, the LMF sends a second message to the located UE to request to obtain WUS configuration information of the located UE.

Specifically, the LMF may send an LPP request message to the UE, where the LPP request message carries at least one of the following:

identification information of the located UE;

LMF identification information;

and requesting to acquire the indication information of the WUS configuration information of the UE.

And step 12, the positioned UE sends a first message to the LMF, and the WUS configuration information currently applied by the positioned UE is fed back to the LMF through the first message.

Specifically, the UE sends an LPP message to the LMF, where the LPP message carries at least one of the following items;

identification information of the located UE;

LMF identification information;

WUS configuration information for the UE;

UE ID of UE;

paging probability threshold value of UE.

In step 13a, optionally, after determining WUS configuration information of the located UE, the LMF calculates a time domain location of the corresponding WUS based on the WUS configuration information of the UE, and paging configuration information and DRX information that have been determined previously, and configures a positioning reference signal based thereon. Specific:

the LMF determines positioning reference signal configuration and transmits the recommended positioning reference signal configuration information to the current service base station and/or the adjacent base station through NRPPa information, wherein the recommended positioning reference signal configuration information comprises at least one of the following items:

positioning a reference signal period;

an offset of the positioning reference signal in each period;

In step 13b, optionally, after determining WUS configuration information of the located UE, the LMF sends a third message (e.g., NRPPa message) to the neighboring base station, so as to transfer the WUS configuration information of the located UE to the neighboring base station.

In particular applications, steps 13a and 13b may be implemented as two parallel schemes.

Step 14, for step 13b, the current serving base station and/or the neighboring base station configures the downlink positioning reference signal according to WUS configuration information of the located UE, so that a time domain transmission position of the downlink positioning reference signal falls within a detection window of the WUS signal.

In one embodiment of the present application, the LMF directly obtains corresponding WUS, or DCP, or PEI time domain location information from the UE side, and configures PRS based on these information. In this embodiment, taking LMF to obtain WUS configuration as an example, the interactive flow steps for LMF to obtain other configuration information are similar. The method may include:

in step 21, optionally, after the positioning service arrives, the LMF sends a second message to the located UE to request to obtain WUS configuration information of the located UE.

Identification information of the located UE;

LMF identification information;

requesting to acquire WUS time domain location information of the UE.

Step 22, the located UE sends a first message to the LMF, and the WUS configuration information currently applied by the located UE is fed back to the LMF through the first message.

identification information of the located UE;

LMF identification information;

WUS time domain location information of the UE;

the time domain location information includes at least one of:

transmitting a start frame number, and/or a subframe number, and/or a slot number, and/or an OFDM symbol number of the WUS signal;

UTC time for transmitting WUS signals;

a transmission period of the WUS signal;

the duration of the WUS signal.

In step 23a, optionally, after the LMF determines WUS time domain location information of the located UE, the location reference signal is configured based on the WUS time domain location information of the UE. Specific:

positioning a reference signal period;

an offset of the positioning reference signal in each period;

In step 23b, optionally, after determining WUS time domain location information of the located UE, the LMF sends a third message (e.g., NRPPa message) to the neighboring base station, so as to transfer the WUS time domain location information of the located UE to the neighboring base station.

In particular applications, steps 23a and 23b may be implemented as two parallel schemes.

Step 24, for step 23b, the current serving base station and/or the neighboring base station configures the downlink positioning reference signal according to WUS time domain location information of the located UE, so that a time domain transmission location of the downlink positioning reference signal falls within a detection window of the WUS signal.

As can be seen from the above description, the scheme of the embodiment of the present application can coordinate the configuration of the positioning reference signal with the WUS, or DCP, or PEI configuration of the terminal, so as to ensure that the time domain transmission position of the positioning reference signal is located on the detection occasion of the corresponding WUS, or DCP, or PEI, so that the terminal can perform measurement of the downlink positioning reference signal while detecting the WUS, or DCP, or PEI, thereby reducing the power consumption of positioning measurement.
