The following describes in detail a positioning method, a terminal, and a network device provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

The following first explains a communication noun related to the present application.

1.1 starting angle (AoD)

Referring to fig. 2, downlink AOD measurement selects a corresponding beam by measuring multiple RSRPs (i.e., energy in fig. 2) (which beam reports which beam (or reports identification information (transmission and reception beams)) when the measured energy is large).

1.2 Beam (Beam) identification information

The identification information of the beam is distinguished according to the identification information of the PRS, i.e., different PRS (PRS Resource Set ID and PRS Resource ID) are transmitted by different beams. The different PRSs include different Angle information (PRS Angle Item).

Referring to table 1, table 1 shows PRS beam information in an NR system.

TABLE 1

Referring to table 2, table 2 is a description of the number of resources of PRS of the PRS resource set.

TABLE 2

1.3 RSRP at UE side reports the following description of codes for reporting RSRP at UE side.

For UE-assisted (UE-assisted) positioning, plus additional measurement (additional measurement), the UE may report a total of 8 RSRPs. For UE-based positioning, UE implementation dependent.

1.4 method for AoD precision optimization according to beam pattern and RSRP

As shown in fig. 3, the thin and thick solid lines are two-dimensional beam patterns of beam1 and beam2, respectively, where the abscissa corresponds to the angle of the beam and the ordinate corresponds to the normalized beam response.

The UE receives m PRSs and obtains m RSRPs based on the measurement of the m PRSs, and if the UE selects n RSRPs from the m RSRPs to report, an n-dimensional vector [ RSP1 RSRP2 … … RSRPn ] can be formed based on the n RSRPs.

On the LMF side, knowing the beam pattern of the transmission beam corresponding to each PRS, if the angular granularity is 1, the beam response of the transmission beam of the PRS corresponding to the n RSRPs can be obtained over 360 angles, where the beam response vector is [ beam response1 beam response1 … … beam response ], and the euclidean distance is obtained for the two vectors (the RSRP vector and the corresponding beam vector reported by the UE), and the angle corresponding to the vector with the minimum euclidean distance is the AOD angle to be measured.

Referring to fig. 4, a specific procedure is shown, where the selected n RSRPs include the strongest PRS and neighboring PRS, the optimization accuracy is high. For example, when the actual AOD corresponds to a beam that is darkened in the figure, the measured RSRP of the PRS corresponding to the darkened beam is the strongest, and at this time, if the measured RSRP of the PRS corresponding to neighboring beams, such as beams on both sides of the darkened beam, are also reported, the AOD optimization accuracy is higher.

However, when the UE reports RSRP of PRS, it cannot be determined explicitly which PRS transmission beams are adjacent or better. When the reported PRS transmitting beam angles have large difference or do not include PRSs of adjacent beams, the optimization effect is obviously reduced when the LMF utilizes the RSRP to perform AOD optimization. In addition, the RSRP number reported by each Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) of each UE is uncertain, and may be 8 at most. When the reported RSRP comprises the RSRP of the adjacent beams, better AOD optimization performance can be achieved only by reporting a smaller number of RSRPs.

Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a positioning method, including:

step 51: the terminal determines a target positioning reference signal;
