Abstract
A terminal device, a location management function entity and a method for positioning a terminal device in a multi-connectivity network are provided. The terminal device includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor and storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to generate a locating message of the terminal device using a first radio access technology (RAT). The processor is further configured to cause the terminal device to send the locating message of the terminal device to the location management function entity through signaling over an air interface using a second RAT.
Claims20
A terminal device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory connected to the processor and storing instructions, wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to:
- generate a locating message of the terminal device using a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the locating message of the terminal device is configured for determining a location of the terminal device, and the locating message of the terminal device comprises a first locating parameter of a cell of a first node and a second locating parameter of a cell of a second node, wherein the first node corresponds to the first RAT and the second node corresponds to a second RAT;
- and
- cause the terminal device to send the locating message of the terminal device to a location management function entity through signaling over an air interface using the second RAT.
A location management function entity, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory connected to the processor and storing instructions, wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to:
- receive a locating message of a terminal device sent from the terminal device through signaling over an air interface using a second radio access technology (RAT), wherein the locating message of the terminal device comprises a first locating parameter of a cell of a first node and a second locating parameter of a cell of a second node, wherein the first node corresponds to a first RAT and the second node corresponds to the second RAT;
- and
- locate the terminal device according to the locating message of the terminal device.
A method for positioning a terminal device in a multi-connectivity network, comprising:
- receiving, by a location management function entity, a locating message of the terminal device sent from the terminal device through signaling over an air interface using a second radio access technology (RAT), wherein the locating message of the terminal device comprises a first locating parameter of a cell of a first node and a second locating parameter of a cell of a second node, wherein the first node corresponds to a first RAT and the second node corresponds to the second RAT;
- and
- locating, by the location management function entity, the terminal device according to the locating message of the terminal device.
