COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18640331 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
The technology described in this patent application pertains to a communication method and apparatus used in a new radio (NR) system or a long term evolution (LTE) system to accurately locate a terminal device. The method involves an access network device receiving an uplink positioning signal from at least one assistant device and sending a measurement result to a location management function network element. The measurement result is based on the uplink positioning signal and includes information about the assistant device, relative time of arrival, or a time difference of arrival.

Original Abstract Submitted
The technology of this application relates to a communication method and apparatus, which may be used in a new radio (NR) system or an long term evolution (LTE) system, to accurately locate a terminal device. The method includes an access network device receiving an uplink positioning signal from at least one assistant device, and sending a measurement result to a location management function network element. The uplink positioning signal is an uplink positioning signal sent by a terminal device. The measurement result is determined based on the uplink positioning signal. The measurement result includes one or more of: information about the at least one assistant device, relative time of arrival, or a time difference of arrival.
