Abstract

A method for receiving a reference signal for defining a location in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from a serving cell, beacon-positioning reference signal (B-PRS) configuration information transmitted by at least one beacon device; and detecting the B-PRS by using the B-PRS configuration information, wherein the B-PRS configuration information includes B-PRS group configuration information for at least one beacon device group, and the B-PRS group configuration information can include parameters for generating sequences of the B-PRS transmitted by each beacon device belonging to the corresponding group.

Claims (28)

1. A method for receiving beacon-positioning reference signals (B-PRSs) for determining position in a wireless communication system, by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from a serving cell, B-PRS configuration information transmitted by one or more beacon apparatuses;

detecting B-PRSs based on the B-PRS configuration information; and

measuring, by the terminal, reference signal received power (RSRP) for the B-PRSs based on the B-PRS configuration information,

wherein the B-PRS configuration information comprises B-PRS group configuration information about one or more beacon apparatus groups, and measurement information, and

wherein the B-PRS group configuration information comprises a parameter for generating a sequence of B-PRSs, transmitted by each beacon apparatus belonging to a corresponding one of the one or more beacon apparatus groups.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter indicates a subframe used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter indicates a frequency shift value used for resource mapping allowing each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter indicates an offset value to determine a subframe used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter indicates a resource block used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the RSRP is measured,

calculating a path loss value for the B-PRSs based on the RSRP; and

triggering a specific event when the calculated path loss value is less than or equal to a threshold.

7. A terminal configured to receive beacon-positioning reference signals (B-PRSs) for determining position in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a receiver and transmitter; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the receiver and transmitter, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive, from a serving cell, B-PRS configuration information transmitted by one or more beacon apparatuses,

detect B-PRSs based on the B-PRS configuration information; and

measure reference signal received power (RSRP) for the B-PRSs based on the B-PRS configuration information,

wherein the B-PRS configuration information comprises B-PRS group configuration information, about one or more beacon apparatus groups, and measurement information, and

wherein the B-PRS group configuration information comprises a parameter, for generating a sequence of B-PRSs transmitted by each beacon apparatus belonging to a corresponding one of the one or more beacon apparatus groups.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the parameter indicates a subframe used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

9. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the parameter indicates a frequency shift value used for resource mapping allowing each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

10. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the parameter indicates an offset value to determine a subframe used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

11. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the parameter indicates a resource block used for each of the beacon apparatuses to transmit a B-PRS.

12. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate a path loss value for the B-PRSs based on the RSRP, when the RSRP is measured; and

trigger a specific event when the calculated path loss value is less than or equal to a threshold.
