Abstract

An embodiment is a method for a terminal to perform an operation in a wireless communication system, the method including the steps of: transmitting a request positioning reference signal (PRS) to anchor nodes (ANs); receiving response PRSes for the request RPS from the ANs; and measuring the location of the terminal by using the request PRS and the response PRSes, wherein the terminal transmits scheduling information related to the request PRS and the response PRSes to the ANs.

Claims (30)

1. A method of performing an operation by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first reference signal (RS) related to a location of the UE to nodes;

receiving second RSs based on the first RS from the nodes;

receiving information about an arrival time of the first RS and transmission times of the second RSs from the nodes; and

measuring the location of the UE based on the first RS and the second RSs,

wherein the UE transmits scheduling information related to the first RS and the second RSs to the nodes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response second RSs are configured with different patterns with respect to the nodes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one-to-many correspondence between scheduling information of the first RS and scheduling information of the second RSs related with the scheduling information of the first RS is preconfigured.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the scheduling information related to the first RS and the second RSs includes only the scheduling information of the first RS, and the scheduling information of the second RSs is determined by the scheduling information of the first RS.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information related to the first RS and the second RSs includes scheduling information of the first RS and scheduling information of the second RSs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RS is transmitted in a slot for communication between UEs or a dedicated slot for the first RS, and the second RSs are transmitted in the dedicated slot.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information about the arrival time of the first RS and the transmission times of the second RSs are received through a physical data channel for communication between UEs.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nodes form a group for measuring the location of the UE.

9. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions causing, when executed, the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

transmitting a first reference signal (RS) related to a location of the UE to nodes;

receiving second RS based on the first RS from the nodes;

receiving information about an arrival time of the first RS and transmission times of the second RSs from the nodes; and

measuring the location of the UE based on the first RS and the second RSs, and

wherein the UE transmits scheduling information related to the first RS and the second RSs to the nodes.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station, or a network.

11. A processor for performing operations for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system,

wherein the operations include:

transmitting a first reference signal (RS) related to a location of the UE to nodes;

receiving second response RSs based on the first RS from the nodes;

receiving information about an arrival time of the first RS and transmission times of the second RSs from the nodes; and

measuring the location of the UE based on the first RS and the second RSs,

wherein the UE transmits scheduling information related to the first PRS and the second RSs to the nodes.
