Abstract
A positioning reference signal (PRS) is transmitted by a first base station in a wireless communication system. A first PRS having a first PRS pattern is transmitted using a first subcarrier spacing (SCS). A user equipment (UE) receives information associated with positioning of the UE including the first PRS from the first base station and a second PRS from the second base station. The first SCS is different from a second SCS applied to the second PRS having a second PRS pattern.
Claims20
A method for transmitting a positioning reference signal (PRS) by a first base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first PRS having a first PRS pattern using a first subcarrier spacing (SCS), and
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), information associated with positioning of the UE which receives the first PRS from the first base station and a second PRS from a second base station,
- wherein the first SCS is different from the second SCS applied to the second PRS having a second PRS pattern.
A method for receiving a positioning reference signal (PRS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first base station, a first PRS having a first PRS pattern using a first subcarrier spacing (SCS),
- receiving, from a second base station, a second PRS having a second PRS pattern using a second SCS which is different from the first SCS,
- obtaining positioning information associated with positioning of the UE based on the first PRS and the second PRS, and
- transmitting, to the first base station, the positioning information.
A first base station for transmitting a positioning reference signal (PRS) in a communication system, the first base station comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to control the transceiver to:
- transmit a first PRS having a first PRS pattern using a first subcarrier spacing (SCS), and
- receive information associated with positioning of a user equipment (UE) based on the first PRS from the first base station and a second PRS from the second base station,
- wherein the first SCS is different from a second SCS applied to the second PRS having a second PRS pattern.
A user equipment (UE) for receiving a position reference signal (PRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to control the transceiver to:
- receive, from a first base station, a first PRS having a first PRS pattern using a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) through the transceiver,
- receive, from a second base station, a second PRS having a second PRS pattern using a second SCS which is different from the first SCS through the transceiver,
- obtain positioning information associated with positioning of the UE based on the first PRS and the second PRS, and
- transmit, to the first base station, the positioning information through the transceiver.
