Variable-positioning based reporting method in wireless communication system and device supporting same
Provided is a reporting method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving positioning duration setting from a network, evaluating a positioning enabling condition, and if the positioning enabling condition is satisfied, starting a positioning duration timer, enabling positioning, acquiring position information through the enabled positioning, and transmitting a report message including a measurement result and the position information to the network.
1. A reporting method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, a measurement configuration from a network which instructs to transmit at least a measurement result or location information via a report message;
receiving, by the UE, a positioning duration time configuration from the network including information of time duration;
evaluating, by the UE, a positioning activation condition;
initiating, by the UE, a positioning duration timer based on the information of time duration if the positioning activation condition is satisfied;
activating, by the UE, the positioning;
acquiring, by the UE, the location information via the activated positioning; and
transmitting, by the UE, the report message to the network based on the measurement configuration,
wherein:
the report message includes both the location information and the measurement result if the location information related to the measurement result has been acquired, and
the report message includes the measurement result without the location information if the location information related to the measurement result has not been acquired and the positioning duration timer is not operating.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
deactivating the activated positioning if the initiated positioning duration timer is terminated.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving a logged measurement to perform a logged Minimization Driving Test (MDT).
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if the user equipment enters RRC_IDLE state.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement result includes at least a result for measuring a serving cell or a neighboring cell, a result for UE performance on a radio interface, or a connection failure generated on the UE.
6. The method of claim 2 ,
wherein evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if a report condition for the measurement result acquired by the measurement is satisfied.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if Radio Link Failure (RLF) is detected.
8. A wireless apparatus in a wireless communication system, the wireless apparatus comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit that transmits and receives a radio signal; and
a processor functionally connected with the RF unit and configured to perform:
receiving, from a network, a measurement configuration which instructs to transmit at least a measurement result or location information via a report message;
receiving, from the network, a positioning duration time configuration including information of time duration;
evaluating a positioning activation condition;
initiating a positioning duration timer based on the information of time duration if the positioning activation condition is satisfied;
activating the positioning;
acquiring the location information via the activated positioning; and
transmitting the report message to the network based on the measurement configuration,
wherein:
the report message includes both the location information and the measurement result if the location information related to the measurement result has been acquired; and
the report message includes the measurement result without the location information if the location information related to the measurement result has not been acquired and the positioning duration timer is not operating.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to deactivate the activated positioning if the initiated positioning duration timer is terminated.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a logged measurement to perform a logged Minimization Driving Test (MDT).
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if the user equipment enters RRC_IDLE state.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the measurement result includes at least a result for measuring a serving cell or a neighboring cell, a result for UE performance on a radio interface, or a connection failure generated on the UE.
13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if a report condition for the measurement result acquired by the measurement is satisfied.
14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein evaluating the positioning activation condition includes determining that the positioning activation condition is satisfied if Radio Link Failure (RLF) is detected.
