Abstract

An addressing method is provided, including: determining, by a UE, configuration information of an uplink position signal; and transmitting, by the UE, the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to a network side in accordance with the determined configuration information, to enable the network side to determine addressing information of the UE in accordance with the identifier of the UE, and address the UE in accordance with the identifier and the addressing information of the UE in the case that it is necessary to address the UE.

Claims (31)

1. An addressing method for one User Equipment (UE) in an Ultra Dense Network (UDN), comprising:

determining, by the UE, configuration information of an uplink position signal of the UE to be transmitted to a network side in the UDN; and

transmitting, by the UE, the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information, to enable the network side to determine addressing information of the UE in accordance with the identifier of the UE, and address the UE in accordance with the identifier and the addressing information of the UE in the case that it is necessary to address the UE,

wherein prior to transmit by the LE the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information, the addressing method further comprises:

enabling, by the UE, a function of transmitting the uplink position signal in accordance with a signaling received from the network side,

wherein the signaling received from the network side is a predetermined common signaling or a signaling instructing the UE to enable the function of transmitting the uplink position signal.

2. The addressing method according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting by the UE the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information comprises:

periodically transmitting, by the UE, the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information; or

transmitting, by the UE, the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information in the case that a predetermined triggering condition has been met,

the predetermined triggering condition comprises at least one of following conditions:

a location area where the UE is located has been changed;

a frequency point used by the UE has been changed;

a cell where the UE is located is of a predetermined type; and

the UE has received a reporting instruction from the network side.

3. The addressing method according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting by the UE the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information comprises:

transmitting, by the UE, the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE that has been encrypted to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information.

4. The addressing method according to claim 1 , wherein determining by the UE the configuration information of the uplink position signal of the UE to be transmitted to the network side in the UDN comprises:

receiving, by the UE, the configuration information of the uplink position signal issued by the network side; or

interacting, by the UE, with the network side to determine the configuration information of the uplink position signal.

5. One User Equipment (UE) in an Ultra Dense Network (UDN), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory connected to the processor through a bus interface and configured to store therein a program and data for the operation of the processor, wherein

the processor is configured to call and execute the program and data stored in the memory, to:

determine configuration information of an uplink position signal of the UE to be transmitted to a network side in the UDN; and transmit the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information, to enable the network side to determine addressing information of the UE in accordance with the identifier of the UE, and address the UE in accordance with the identifier and the addressing information of the UE in the case that it is necessary to address the UE,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

before the processor has transmitted the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information, enable a function of transmitting e uplink position signal in accordance with a signaling received from the network side,

wherein the signaling received from the network side is a predetermined common signaling or a signaling instructing the UE to enable the function of transmitting the uplink position signal.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to periodically transmit the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information; or transmit the uplink position signal carrying an identifier of the UE to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information in the case that it determines a predetermined triggering condition has been met,

wherein the predetermined triggering condition comprises at least one of following conditions: a location area where the UE is located has been changed; a frequency point used by the UE has been changed; a cell where the UE is located is of a predetermined type; and the UE has received a reporting instruction from the network side.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the uplink position signal carrying the identifier of the UE that has been encrypted to the network side in accordance with the determined configuration information.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive the configuration information of the uplink position signal issued by the network side, or interact with the network side to determine the configuration information of the uplink position signal.
