Abstract

Disclosed according to various embodiments are a method for performing an observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA)-related operation by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefor. Disclosed are a method for performing an OTDOA-related operation by a terminal, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a first positioning signal from a first base station; receiving a second positioning signal from a second base station; measuring a first phase difference between reference signals included in the first positioning signal, and a second phase difference between reference signals included in the second positioning signal; and feeding back, to the first base station, positioning information including the difference value between the first phase difference and the second phase difference.

Claims (23)

1. A method of performing an operation related to observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first base station, a first positioning signal including two reference signals having a first frequency interval;

receiving, from a second base station, a second positioning signal including two reference signals having a second frequency interval;

measuring a first phase difference between the two reference signals included in the first positioning signal;

measuring a second phase difference between the two reference signals included in the second positioning signal;

calculating a difference value between the first phase difference and the second phase difference; and

reporting, to the first base station, the difference value instead of a value of a reference signal time difference (RSTD),

wherein the difference value is reported to the first base station through transmission of a reference signal having a phase rotated by the difference value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE determines whether to apply a predetermined scale value to the difference value based on a magnitude of the difference value.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first phase difference and the second phase difference are preconfigured to any one of 90 KHz and 180 KHz.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined first frequency interval is determined by a location server for estimating a location of the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first frequency interval and the second frequency interval are preconfigured based on channel selectivity.

6. A device for performing an operation related to observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, based on being executed by the processor, control the device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a first base station, a first positioning signal including two reference signals having a first frequency interval;

receiving, from a second base station, a second positioning signal including two reference signals having a second frequency interval;

measuring a first phase difference between the two reference signals included in the first positioning signal;

measuring a second phase difference between the two reference signals included in the second positioning signal;

calculating a difference value between the first phase difference and the second phase difference; and

reporting, to the first base station, the difference value instead of a value of a reference signal time difference (RSTD),

wherein the difference value is reported to the first base station through transmission of a reference signal having a phase rotated by the difference value.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a user input to switch a drive mode from an autonomous mode to a manual mode, or to switch from a manual mode to an autonomous mode.
