Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronic device, a User Equipment (UE), a method, and a computer readable storage medium. According to the present invention, a method for determining location of a positioning reference signal (PRS) comprises: obtaining a subcarrier interval of a resource block (RB); and determining a time-frequency location of the PRS in the RB according to the subcarrier interval. The electronic device, the UE, the method, and the computer readable storage medium according to the present invention can be used for designing the PRS with respect to an NR communication system more reasonably, so as to optimize the positioning of the UE.
Claims10
