  • Publication number: 20240129894
    Abstract: A positioning method and apparatus. A location management network element sends first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is useable by the network device to measure a signal that is sent by a terminal device and that is reflected by a reflection panel. After receiving the first indication information, the network device measures the signal reflected by the reflection panel, and reports a measurement result to the location management network element. The location management network element determines a location of the terminal device based on location information of the network device, location information of the reflection panel, and the measurement result. In response to a line-of-sight (LOS) path between the terminal device and the network device being blocked, a signal on the LOS path cannot be directly transmitted and measured.

  • Patent number: 11864133
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a synchronization signal block transmission method and a communications apparatus. The method includes: A network device sends an SSB to a terminal device in a resource position of the SSB. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the SSB. In this process, a symbol included in the resource position of the SSB does not overlap with an uplink symbol in a plurality of self-contained slot structures as much as possible. This method can reduce a probability that the symbol included in the resource position of the SSB conflicts with an uplink symbol in as many self-contained slot structures as possible, to avoid cross interference, and therefore can support reliable transmission in as many self-contained slot structures as possible.
