Abstract

The present application relates to the field of wireless communications. Disclosed are a user device and a method for the inter-user-device sending and receiving of a positioning signal. In the present application, a first user device sends a positioning reference signal on a communication interface, and performs information transmission on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and/or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), wherein the information transmission on the PSCCH and/or PSSCH indicates a relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal. By means of direct communication between a user device and another user device, mutual positioning between the user devices is achieved, thereby achieving higher spectral efficiency and lower transmission delay, so that a higher positioning precision can be reached.

Claims (35)

1. A method for inter-user-device sending of a positioning signal, comprising:

sending, by a first user device, a positioning reference signal on a communication interface; and

performing information transmission on at least one of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), wherein the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH indicates a relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal,

wherein, the information transmission indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal, comprises: indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by at least one of a time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, or by content of information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal comprises at least one of time position, frequency position, or signal sequence of the positioning reference signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

a time position of the positioning reference signal is the same as the time position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

a frequency position of the positioning reference signal is the same as the frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

only the first user device allocated with at least one of a specific time position or a specific frequency position of the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH is allowed to send the positioning reference signal.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal comprises at least one of time position, frequency position, or signal sequence of the positioning reference signal.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the content of the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by user identification information comprised in the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the content of the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by characteristics of DMRS comprised in the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the characteristics of the DMRS comprised in the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by cyclic shift of the DMRS comprised in the information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

10. A user device, comprising a processor, which when running programs thereon, causes the user device to:

send a positioning reference signal on a communication interface; and

perform information transmission on at least one of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), wherein the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH indicates a relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal,

wherein, the information transmission indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal, comprises:

indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by at least one of a time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, or by content of information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

11. The user device according to claim 10 , wherein, the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal includes at least one of time position, frequency position, or signal sequence of the positioning reference signal.

12. The user device according to claim 10 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

a time position of the positioning reference signal is the same as the time position of performing the information transmission the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

13. The user device according to claim 10 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

a frequency position of the positioning reference signal is the same as the frequency position of performing the information transmission the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.

14. The user device according to claim 10 , wherein, indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by the at least one of time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, comprises:

only the user device allocated with at least one of a specific time position or a specific frequency position of the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH is allowed to send the positioning reference signal.

15. The user device according to claim 10 , wherein, the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal comprises at least one of time position, frequency position, or signal sequence of the positioning reference signal.

16. A computer storage medium, on which computer-executable instructions are stored, wherein, when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, perform the steps of:

sending a positioning reference signal; and

performing information transmission on at least one of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), wherein the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH indicates a relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal,

wherein, the information transmission indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal, comprises: indicating the relevant attribute of the positioning reference signal by at least one of a time position or frequency position of performing the information transmission on the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH, or by content of information transmitted by the at least one of PSCCH or PSSCH.
