Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A positioning method, comprising:

receiving positioning assistance information; wherein the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of a neighboring cell, and positioning configuration information of at least one neighboring static user equipment (UE); or, the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of at least two neighboring static user equipment (UEs); wherein the positioning configuration information of the neighboring static UE comprises: a sequence identifier (ID) of a positioning signal of the neighboring static UE, a sending frequency band and a time domain location of the neighboring static UE, and a location of the neighboring static UE;

performing positioning measurement according to the positioning assistance information; and

positioning a target terminal by using a result of the positioning measurement.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one neighboring static UE belongs to a same public land mobile network (PLMN).

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein receiving the positioning assistance information comprises:

receiving the positioning assistance information from a positioning server; or,

receiving the positioning assistance information that is sent from a positioning server and forwarded by one or more other terminals, wherein the one or more other terminals are one or more terminals that are in connection with the target terminal via a PC5 interface.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein performing positioning measurement according to the positioning assistance information comprises:

performing positioning measurement on a positioning signal of the neighboring cell and a positioning signal of the at least one neighboring static UE according to the positioning assistance information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least two neighboring static UEs belong to different public land mobile networks (PLMNs); or,

the at least two neighboring static UEs belong to a same PLMN or different PLMNs.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

in a case where the at least two neighboring static UEs belong to different PLMNs, receiving the positioning assistance information comprises: receiving the positioning assistance information from a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) server; or, receiving the positioning assistance information that is sent from a V2X server and forwarded by one or more other terminals, wherein the one or more other terminals are one or more terminals that are in connection with the target terminal via a PC5 interface;

in a case where the at least two neighboring static UEs belong to a same PLMN or different PLMNs, receiving the positioning assistance information comprises: receiving the positioning assistance information from the at least two neighboring static UEs.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein performing positioning measurement according to the positioning assistance information comprises:

performing positioning measurement on positioning signals of the at least two neighboring static UEs according to the positioning assistance information.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending positioning configuration information of the target terminal.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein sending the positioning configuration information of the target terminal comprises:

sending the positioning configuration information of the target terminal to a positioning server, a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) server, or one or more terminals that are in connection with the target terminal via a PC5 interface.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the positioning configuration information of the target terminal comprises:

a sequence identifier (ID) of a positioning signal of the target terminal, and a sending frequency band and a time domain location of the target terminal.

11. A terminal for positioning, wherein the terminal comprises: a processor and a memory;

the memory is configured to store an instruction; and

the processor is configured to read the instruction to execute the method according to claim 1 .

12. A non-transitory storage medium, wherein a computer program is stored in the storage medium, and when executed by a processor, the computer program implements the method according to claim 1 .

13. An information transmission method, comprising:

sending positioning assistance information, wherein the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of a neighboring cell of a target terminal, and positioning configuration information of at least one neighboring static user equipment (UE) of the target terminal;

or,

sending positioning assistance information, wherein the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of at least two neighboring static user equipment (UEs) of a target terminal;

or,

sending positioning related information, wherein the positioning related information comprises: a sequence identifier (ID) of a positioning signal of a static user equipment (UE), a sending frequency band and a receiving frequency band of the static UE, and a location of the static UE;

wherein the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of a neighboring cell, and positioning configuration information of at least one neighboring static user equipment (UE); or, the positioning assistance information comprises: positioning configuration information of at least two neighboring static user equipment (UEs); wherein the positioning configuration information of the neighboring static UE comprises: a sequence identifier (ID) of a positioning signal of the neighboring static UE, a sending frequency band and a time domain location of the neighboring static UE, and a location of the neighboring static UE.

14. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving positioning configuration information of the target terminal; and

forwarding the positioning configuration information of the target terminal to at least two neighboring static UEs of the target terminal respectively.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the at least two static UEs that receive the positioning configuration information of the target terminal belong to a same public land mobile network (PLMN) or different PLMNs.

16. A positioning server for information transmission, wherein the positioning server comprises: a processor and a memory;
