Abstract

Claims (63)

1 . An information transmission method, comprising:

obtaining, by a location management network element, a first Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) parameter, wherein the first PRS parameter is a parameter for a PRS sent aperiodically; and

sending, by the location management network element, the first PRS parameter to a terminal,

wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the location management network element, a PRS trigger indication to a base station, where the PRS trigger indication is used for triggering sending of the PRS:

wherein the PRS trigger indication comprises PRS spatial relationship information; and

wherein the PRS spatial relationship information comprises one or more of:

an index of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block of a serving cell or a serving base station, or

an index of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block of a neighbor cell or neighbor base station.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the location management network element, a first message to a base station, wherein the first message comprises a second PRS parameter; and

the obtaining, by the location management network element, the first PRS parameter comprises:

receiving, by the location management network element, the first PRS parameter sent by the base station.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the location management network element, a second message to a base station, wherein the second message comprises the first PRS parameter; and

receiving, by the location management network element, a confirmation message sent by the base station.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the location management network element, a third message to a base station, wherein the third message is used for requesting the first PRS parameter; and

the obtaining, by the location management network element, the first PRS parameter comprises:

receiving, by the location management network element, the first PRS parameter sent by the base station.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first PRS parameter is different from a parameter for a PRS sent periodically.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first PRS parameter comprises a frequency resource parameter for the PRS and a time resource parameter for the PRS, where the time resource parameter for the PRS comprises an effective time for the PRS.

7 . A location management network element, comprising: a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and one or more programs, wherein:

the one or more programs is stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, and

the one or more programs comprises instructions configured for performing steps in the method according to claim 1 .

8 . An information transmission method, comprising:

receiving, by a base station, a request message from a location management network element, wherein the request message is used for requesting a first Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) parameter, and the first PRS parameter is a parameter for a PRS sent aperiodically; and

sending, by the base station, a request response message to the location management network element according to the request message, wherein the request response message is used for indicating the first PRS parameter,

wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the base station, a PRS trigger indication from the location management network element, where the PRS trigger indication is used for triggering sending of the PRS, and

sending, by the base station, the PRS according to the PRS trigger indication,

wherein the PRS trigger indication comprises PRS spatial relationship information; and

wherein the PRS spatial relationship information comprises one or more of:

an index of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block of a serving cell or a serving base station, or

an index of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block of a neighbor cell or neighbor base station.

9 . The information transmission method according to claim 8 , wherein the parameter for the PRS sent aperiodically is a PRS flexible trigger parameter.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the request message is a first message, and the first message comprises a second PRS parameter; and

the sending, by the base station, the request response message to the location management network element according to the request message comprises:

sending, by the base station, the request response message to the location management network element according to the first message, wherein the request response message comprises the first PRS parameter.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the request message is a third message, and

the sending, by the base station, the request response message to the location management network element according to the request message comprises:

sending, by the base station, the request response message to the location management network element according to the third message, wherein the request response message comprises the first PRS parameter.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first PRS parameter is different from a parameter for a PRS sent periodically.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first PRS parameter comprises a frequency resource parameter for the PRS and a time resource parameter for the PRS, where the time resource parameter for the PRS comprises an effective time for the PRS.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the effective time for the PRS comprises a start time and an effective duration of the PRS.

15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the frequency resource parameter for the PRS and the time resource parameter for the PRS comprise a resource sending comb.

16 . A base station, comprising: a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and one or more programs, wherein:

the one or more programs is stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, and
