Title: Method and device for determining information

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     The present application claims the priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 201910441987.3, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 24, 2019 and entitled “Method and Device for Determining Information”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a method and device for determining information. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Various User Equipment (UE) positioning methods have been defined in the 3GPP, including Observed Time Difference Of Arrival (OTDOA) positioning method, Enhanced-Cell IDentification (E-CID) positioning method, and Uplink Observed Time Difference Of Arrival (UTDOA) positioning method, etc. The main advantage of these methods is: the UE position can be determined by measuring the reference signal of the wireless communication network itself, and the operations can be performed in environments where the reference signals (for example, satellite signals of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)) outside the network cannot be received. However, the common problem of these positioning methods is: the positioning accuracy is low, and it is difficult to achieve the high-precision positioning requirement that 5G wireless communication systems should support. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY 
     The embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for determining information, so as to implement the terminal positioning based on the carrier signal phase measurement value and improve the terminal positioning accuracy. 
     On the terminal side, a method for determining information provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: 
     receiving carrier signals discontinuously sent by a network side; 
     determining carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning a terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side. 
     Through this method, the carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal are determined based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, thereby realizing the determination of the carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, so that the network side can position the terminal based on the carrier signal phase measurement values after the terminal reports the carrier signal phase measurement values to the network side, improving the positioning accuracy. 
     Optionally, the determining carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning a terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, includes: 
     obtaining first carrier signal phase measurement values based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side through carrier signal phase-locked loop; 
     deriving second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal from the first carrier signal phase measurement values. 
     Optionally, the first carrier signal phase measurement values include {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }; where θ i   m  represents a first carrier signal phase measurement value at time t i ; 
     the second carrier signal phase measurement values include {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . }, where θ i  represents a second carrier signal phase measurement value at time t i . 
     Optionally, in response to a phase change of carrier signals transmitted in a predefined first time interval being less than a preset value, {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } is derived from {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } by using interpolation and modulo algorithms. 
     Optionally, the preset value is 0.5 carrier signal transmission cycle, and corresponds to a carrier phase change value pi. 
     Optionally, the predefined first time interval refers to a time interval from a moment when a carrier phase measurement value is obtained before phase lock of the phase-locked loop is lost to a moment when the phase-locked loop re-locks carrier signals after the phase lock is lost and a carrier phase measurement value is obtained, where a maximum value of the predefined first time interval is a sum of an uplink data transmission cycle and a downlink data transmission cycle, and a minimum value of the predefined first time interval is the uplink data transmission cycle. 
     Optionally, {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } is derived using a formula of:

     The embodiments of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings of the specification. It should be noted that the showing order of the embodiments of the present application only represents the sequential order of the embodiments, but does not represent the pros and cons of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments. 
     The embodiments of the present application propose a terminal positioning method based on the carrier phase of a signal of the radio communication system itself. This method can obtain the carrier signal phase measurement value by measuring the phase difference between the received radio reference signal and the radio signal generated at the receiver. Since the measurement error of the carrier signal phase measurement value can reach a small part of the carrier wavelength (for example: centimeter level), the location of the UE will be determined with high accuracy by using the carrier signal phase measurement value combined with other existing positioning methods. 
     The key to the terminal positioning method based on the carrier phase of the signal of the radio communication system itself is to obtain the carrier signal phase measurement value by measuring the signal of the radio communication system itself. To this end, it is assumed that the wireless signal transmitter (such as a base station) involved in positioning sends the C-PRS so that the wireless signal receiver (such as a terminal) locks the continuous carrier positioning reference signal through a phase-locked loop to obtain a carrier signal phase measurement value that can be used for carrier phase positioning. 
     However, the transmitter sends a continuous carrier phase positioning reference signal, which is not applicable to the 5G New Radio (NR) Time Division Duplex (TDD) radio communication system. In the 5G NR TDD system, the base station cell and the user terminal do not support the transmission of continuous and uninterrupted radio reference signals, but send and receive radio reference signals alternately. 
     Therefore, regardless of whether the downlink or uplink reference signal is used for carrier phase positioning, since the uplink and downlink signals are sent alternately, the phase-locked loop at the receiver will lose the phase lock due to intermittently no input signal. During the losing-lock period of the phase-locked loop, if the change in carrier phase exceeds 0.5 cycle, then the carrier phase actual value may not be obtained correctly from the received carrier signal phase measurement value and the provided carrier signal phase measurement value may not be suitable for positioning when the phase-locked loop relocks the carrier signal. 
     In the NR TDD, the maximum DL/UL configuration period for switching between Downlink (DL) and Uplink (UL) signal transmissions among all DL/UL configuration periods (DL/UL switch periods) is 10 ms. During each UL transmission, since the Base Station (BS) does not transmit DL signals, the UE carrier Phase Locked Loop (PLL) will lose the phase lock. 
       FIG. 1  takes the downlink carrier phase measurement as an example to further describe two key issues that need to be considered when the TDD system is based on carrier phase positioning. 
     Key issue 1: in the uplink data transmission cycle (such as cycle {t i , t′ i+1 } (i=0, 1, . . . ) in  FIG. 1 ), the UE sends an uplink signal, but the base station sends no downlink signal. Since there is no downlink carrier phase signal, the phase of the carrier phase tracking loop of the UE receiver is out of lock, and there is no carrier signal phase measurement value. In order to support carrier phase positioning, in each downlink data transmission cycle (such as cycle {t′ i , t i ,}(i=0, 1, . . . ) in  FIG. 1 ), the carrier signal phase-locked loop of the UE receiver must relock the downlink signals fastly in each short period of time. It is ensured that at least one carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } can be provided in each downlink data transmission cycle. It should be noted that m is the abbreviation of measure and not a specific parameter value. 
     Key issue 2: the phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the carrier signal phase-locked loop relocks the carrier phase is only a small part of the entire circular cycle, that is, 0≤θ i   m &lt;2π. If the actual carrier phase change is small (for example, no more than 0.5 cycle (that is, the carrier signal transmission cycle here is the uplink data transmission cycle)) in the uplink data transmission cycle (UL cycle), the receiver may derive the periodic change of the carrier phase correctly from the carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the carrier phase is relocked and provide a carrier signal phase measurement value suitable for precise positioning. If the actual carrier phase change exceeds 0.5 cycle in the uplink data transmission cycle, the receiver cannot derive the periodic change of the carrier phase correctly only from the carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the carrier phase is relocked, and the provided carrier signal phase measurement value cannot be directly used for precise positioning. 
     Therefore, in the 5G NR TDD system, the following key issues must be solved when the carrier phase is used for positioning. 
     In each downlink data transmission cycle, the carrier signal phase-locked loop (PLL) of the UE receiver must be able to relock the downlink signal quickly, and provide at least one carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }. 
     In each uplink signal cycle, if the actual carrier phase change is small, it is possible to derive the carrier signal phase measurement value which includes the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning according to the carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the PLL relocks the carrier phase. If the actual carrier phase change is large in the uplink signal cycle, it is impossible to derive the carrier signal phase measurement value which includes the periodic change of the carrier phase only according to the carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the PLL relocks the carrier phase. In this case, we must firstly consider how to obtain the carrier signal phase measurement value that includes the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning. 
     The following technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present application take TDD DL carrier phase positioning as an example (the same method can be used for TDD UL carrier phase positioning). 
     In order to solve the two key issues described above, some embodiments of the present application propose a technical solution for obtaining a carrier signal phase measurement value that can be used for carrier phase positioning from discontinuous TDD carrier signals. 
     The method used to solve the key issue 1 is: firstly each base station on the network side uses one or more DL OFDM symbols to send the DL PRS (as shown in  FIG. 2 ) with large bandwidth (the specific value can be determined according to actual needs, for example, full bandwidth) and high power (the specific value can be determined according to actual needs, for example, full power) after each DL transmission cycle starts, to ensure that the carrier signal phase-locked loop of the UE receiver can relock the downlink signal quickly in each downlink data transmission cycle (DL cycle). At least one carrier phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } can be provided in each downlink data transmission cycle. 
     When solving the key issue 2, firstly it is judged whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop (the moment when the previous measured carrier phase is obtained) and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop after losing lock (the moment when the next measured carrier phase is obtained) is less than 0.5 cycle. Then, according to the judgment whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop after losing lock is less than 0.5 cycle, different methods are used to obtain the carrier phase measurement value that includes the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning. 
     Regarding judging whether the actual carrier phase change before losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle: 
     two following methods can be used to judge whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle. 
     Method 1) judgment on the network side: the network judges whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle based on the known information (for example, the accuracy performance of the crystal oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.), and notifies the terminal through broadcast signaling, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling. When using this method, the network side may require the terminal to report the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the terminal receiver and the Doppler frequency of the UE to the network side. 
     Method 2) judgment on the terminal side: the terminal judges whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle based on the known information (for example, the accuracy performance of the crystal oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.), and reports the above judgment result to the network through RRC signaling. When using this method, the terminal may require the network side to provide the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the base station transmitter. The above judgment result is reported to the network through RRC signaling. When using this method, the terminal may require the network side to provide the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the base station transmitter. 
     The operation introduction of the methods 1 and 2 is given below, and the main difference lies in the first-step operation on the network side and the terminal side. 
     Network Side: 
     1) In a first way: the network judges whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle based on the known information (for example, the accuracy performance of the crystal oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.), to obtain two cases (CASEs). Here, CASE1: less than 0.5 cycle; CASE2: greater than or equal to 0.5 cycle. Then the network side notifies the terminal of the indication information of the CASE1 and CASE2 through broadcast signaling, RRC signaling or DCI signaling. For the CASE2, it further includes method 1 or method 2; In a second way: the network side provides the terminal with the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the base station transmitter, and receives the indication information on whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle. Here, CASE1: less than 0.5 cycle; CASE2: greater than or equal to 0.5 cycle. 
     2) For the CASE1: The network side only needs to send the DL PRS using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power after each DL transmission cycle starts (as shown in  FIGS. 3-5 ), to ensure that the carrier signal phase-locked loop of the UE receiver can relock the downlink signal quickly in each downlink data transmission cycle and a carrier signal phase measurement value is provided. 
     3) For the CASE2: consider two methods. 
     Method 1: simultaneously send the DL PRS and C-PRS on the OFDM symbols of the DL transmission cycle; 
     Method 2: send a plurality of PRSs in the DL transmission cycle (specifically described in combination with  FIG. 7  hereafter), and ensure that the selection of a plurality of time intervals for sending the DL PRS requires that the change between adjacent carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } is less than 0.5 cycle. 
     Terminal: 
     1) In a first way: the terminal reports the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the terminal receiver and the Doppler frequency of the UE to the network side, and receives the information on whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle issued from the network side through broadcast signaling, RRC signaling or DCI signaling, namely: CASE1 or CASE2, and the method 1 or method 2 configured by network for the CASE2; In a second way: the terminal receives the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the base station transmitter provided by the network side, judges whether the actual carrier phase change between losing lock of the phase of the phase-locked loop and re-locking of the carrier signal by the phase-locked loop is less than 0.5 cycle based on the known information (for example, the accuracy performance of the crystal oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.), and reports the above judgment result to the network through RRC signaling. 
     2) For the CASE1: the basic assumption is that the carrier signal phase measurement value output when the PLL of the UE receiver re-locks the phase in the DL cycle is in [0, 1) cycle, i.e., corresponding to [0, 2*pi), after the UL cycle with no input signal. The UE derives the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning by a simple algorithm. 
     3) For the CASE2: 
     Method 1: 
     Since there will be no problem of phase losing lock between two phase measurement values provided in the same DL transmission cycle (i.e., downlink data transmission cycle), the UE uses these two phase measurement values to calculate the change rate of the phase measurement values in the DL transmission cycle, where these two phase measurement values include the phase measurement value obtained by the DL PRS sent using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power, and the phase measurement value obtained by the C-PRS sent on other OFDM symbols of the DL transmission cycle. Since the time of the UL transmission cycle (i.e., uplink data transmission cycle) is only a few milliseconds, it can be assumed that the change rate of the carrier phase of the UL transmission cycle is basically the same as the change rate of the carrier phase of the adjacent DL transmission cycle. Therefore, it can be inferred whether there is a carrier phase cycle change between two phase measurement values that span the UL transmission cycle. The change rate of the carrier phase of the target UL transmission cycle is calculated based on the change rate of the phase measurement values of the adjacent DL transmission cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement values of the previous DL transmission cycle of the target UL transmission cycle are further combined to estimate the carrier phase predicted value in the target UL transmission cycle, and the actual value of the carrier phase is obtained by calculation. 
     The basic idea of the processing algorithm of the Method 1 is: assume that the difference between the predicted carrier phase value {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  and the ideal carrier phase value θ 2i+2  is within 0.5 cycle. The change rate of the carrier phase of the target UL transmission cycle is calculated based on the change rate of the phase measurement values of the adjacent DL transmission cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement values of the previous DL transmission cycle of the target UL transmission cycle are further combined to estimate the carrier phase predicted value in the target UL transmission cycle, and the actual value of the carrier phase is obtained through the interpolation algorithm. 
     Method 2: 
     The UE firstly derives the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase in each DL transmission cycle, then calculates the change rate of the phase measurement value in a DL transmission cycle by using the algorithm mentioned in the Method 1, and infers the periodic change of the actual phase that may occur in the UL transmission cycle based on the assumption that the actual phase change rate of the UL transmission cycle is basically the same as the calculated change rate of the DL transmission cycle; and finally, obtains the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning. 
     The method includes: 
     During each DL transmission cycle, the PLL of the UE must be able to relock the downlink reference signal before the end of each DL transmission cycle and provide a carrier signal phase measurement value. The carrier signal phase-locked loop PLL obtains the ‘appropriate’ carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } (also referred to as the first carrier signal phase measurement value hereafter) from the intermittently sent TDD signal (i.e., the non-continuously sent carrier signal). Here, the ‘appropriate’ carrier signal phase measurement value is a carrier signal phase measurement value that can be used to re-derive and correctly track the periodic change of the carrier phase (also referred to as the second carrier signal phase measurement value hereafter). 
     The signal processing is performed on the ‘appropriate’ carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided by the carrier signal phase-locked loop PLL to obtain a carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning. 
     In order to ensure that the UE PLL can quickly relock the downlink reference signal during each DL transmission cycle, at least one carrier signal phase measurement value is provided. Here we propose to send the DL PRS using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power (preferably full bandwidth, full power transmission of the base station) after each DL transmission cycle starts (as shown in  FIGS. 3-5 ), to ensure that the carrier signal phase-locked loop of the UE receiver can relock the downlink signal quickly in each downlink data transmission cycle and a carrier signal phase measurement value is provided. The additional benefits of the DL PRS transmission with large bandwidth and high power also include: helping the UE to obtain more accurate Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) and UE transmit-receive time difference measurement values. The accurate RSTD and UE transmit-receive time difference measurement is the key to using traditional OTDOA and/or Round-Trip Time (RTT) positioning methods to obtain the accurate initial UE position estimation. The UE carrier phase positioning needs to use the UE position estimation obtained by the OTDOA and/or RTT as the initial value of the carrier phase positioning. The accurate initial UE position estimation is one of the keys to reducing the search time for integer ambiguity of carrier phase positioning. 
     CASE1: the network has inferred that the actual carrier phase change between the carrier signal phase measurement value of an uplink cycle and the carrier signal phase measurement value of a downlink cycle (these two carrier signal phase measurement values are adjacent) is less than 0.5 cycle based on the known information (for example, the accuracy performance of the crystal oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.). Here, the maximum time interval between two adjacent carrier signal phase measurement values is the cumulative sum of the DL cycle and the UL cycle, for example: 10 ms. 
     For example: for TDD, we assume that the frequency offset of the crystal oscillators of the base station and the terminal is within +/−0.02 ppm, and the duration from loss of lock to relock is 10 ms, and the carrier frequency is 2 GHz. The carrier phase change due to the frequency offset during this period is (2*10{circumflex over ( )}9)*(0.02*10{circumflex over ( )}(−6))*(10*10{circumflex over ( )}(−3))=0.4 cycle. If it is further assumed that the indoor UE speed is 1 m/s, the carrier phase change caused by the UE motion is (1/Speed of Light)*(2*10{circumflex over ( )}9)*(10*10{circumflex over ( )}−3 s)=0.066 cycle, where the speed of light=3.0*10{circumflex over ( )}8 (m/s). 
     The basic assumption is that the carrier signal phase measurement value output when the PLL of the UE receiver re-locks the phase in the DL cycle is in [0, 1) cycle, i.e., corresponding to [0, 2*pi), after the UL cycle with no input signal. 
     When the carrier signal phase-locked loop of the UE receiver can quickly relock the downlink signal in each downlink data transmission cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } obtained by the carrier signal phase-locked loop from the intermittently sent TDD downlink signal is the ‘appropriate’ carrier phase positioning measurement value, where θ i   m  represents the measurement value at time t i . According to {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }, the carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning can be derived by the interpolation algorithm, where θ i  represents the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t i . 
     The first-order linear interpolation algorithm is taken as an example for description below:

     Here, the full-period and non-full-period parts of the carrier signal phase measurement value θ i  are └θ i /2π┘ and mod(θ i , 2π) respectively, where └θ i /2π┘ represents the ordinate value shown in  FIG. 3  to  FIG. 5 , and the value thereof is 0, 1, 2, . . . , and the full period represents an integer multiple of 2*pi. Regarding the full period and the non-full period: a period is 360 degrees or 2π radians. When the PPL is initially phase-locked, the carrier phase measurement value is in [0, 2π]. After the PPL is locked, the carrier phase measurement value is required to track the change of the real carrier phase. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the full period of the real carrier phase θ 3  is 2, and the non-full period part is (θ 3 −2*2π). 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , Example 1: the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 0  is θ 0   m =0.5 cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 1  is θ 1   m =0.3 cycle, then: θ 0 =θ 0   m =0.5 cycle, δ 0 =θ 1   m −θ 0   m =0.3−0.5=−0.2; θ 1 =θ 0 +δ 0 =0.5−0.2=0.3 cycle. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , Example 2: the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 0  is θ 0   m =0.9 cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 1  is θ 1   m =0.2 cycle, then: θ 0 =θ 0   m =0.9 cycle, δ 0 =θ 1   m −θ 0   m +2π=0.2−0.9+1=0.3 cycle; θ 1 =θ 0 +δ 0 =0.9+0.3=1.2 cycle. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , Example 3: the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 0  is θ 0   m =0.2 cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement value at time t 1  is θ 1   m =0.8 cycle, then: θ 0 =θ 0   m =0.2 cycle, δ 0 =θ 1   m −θ 0   m −2π=0.8−0.2−1=−0.4 cycle; θ 1 =θ 0 +δ 0 =0.2−0.4=−0.2 cycle. 
     CASE2: if the network infers that the actual carrier phase change is relatively large (for example, greater than or equal to 0.5 cycle) in each uplink data transmission cycle in advance according to the known information (for example, the quality of the oscillators of the transmitter and receiver as well as the Doppler frequency of the UE, etc.). It is difficult to derive the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase only according to the carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } provided when the UE PLL re-locks the carrier phase. At this time, it is necessary to further consider how to obtain the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase. 
     Two methods are given below to obtain the carrier signal phase measurement value that tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase. 
     Method 1: send the DL C-PRS on the OFDM symbols of the DL transmission cycle (as shown in  FIG. 6 ). 
     In this method, in addition to sending the DL PRS using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power after each DL transmission cycle starts, the continuous Carrier phase-Positioning Reference Signal (C-PRS) is also sent on other OFDM symbols of the DL transmission cycle. When the C-PRS is a sinusoidal carrier signal, the bandwidth of the signal can be very small, for example: 6 KHz or 15 KHz. The purpose of sending the C-PRS is to use very few system resources to ensure that the UE PLL remains in the phase-locked state, so that the UE PLL provides at least one phase measurement value again before the end of the DL transmission cycle except for the carrier signal phase measurement values provided when relocking the downlink signal in each DL transmission cycle. Since there will be no problem of phase losing lock between two phase measurement values provided in the same DL transmission cycle, these two phase measurement values (i.e., the phase measurement value obtained by the DL PRS sent using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power, and the phase measurement value obtained by the C-PRS sent on other OFDM symbols of the DL transmission cycle) can be used to calculate the change rate of the phase measurement value in the DL transmission cycle. Since the time of the UL transmission cycle is only a few milliseconds, it can be assumed that the change rate of the carrier phase of the UL transmission cycle is basically the same as the change rate of the carrier phase of the adjacent DL transmission cycle. Therefore, it can be inferred whether there is a carrier phase cycle change between two phase measurement values that span the UL transmission cycle. 
     As shown in  FIG. 6 , it is assumed that two phase measurement values measured in the same DL transmission cycle are {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . }, where: {θ 2i   m } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . } is the carrier signal phase measurement value provided when relocking the downlink signal; and {θ 2i+1   m } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . } is the carrier signal phase measurement value provided by the C-PRS before the end of the DL transmission cycle. 
     It is assumed that the time interval between {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . } is δ 1  and the time interval between {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . } is δ 2 . Since two phase measurement values measured in the same DL transmission cycle are {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } (i=0, 1, 2 . . . }, there is no problem of phase losing lock, and the change rate of the phase measurement values in {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } (i=0, 1, 2 . . . } is (θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )/δ 1 . Therefore, the change rate of the phase measurement values between two time points {t 2i+1 , t 2i+2 } (i=0, 1, 2, . . . } across the UL transmission cycle can be calculated using the following formula: 
       {dot over (θ)} 2i ≈([(θ 2i+3   m −θ 2i+2   m )+(θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )]/2δ 1  ( i= 0,1,2, . . . )}  (4).
 
     Therefore, based on {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }, the carrier signal phase measurement value {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning can be derived by an appropriate algorithm (such as the interpolation algorithm described below). 
     The basic idea of this algorithm is: suppose that the difference between the predicted carrier phase value {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  and the ideal carrier phase value θ 2i+2  is within 0.5 cycle. The change rate of the carrier phase of the target UL transmission cycle is calculated based on the change rate of the phase measurement values of the adjacent DL transmission cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement values of the previous DL transmission cycle of the target UL transmission cycle are further combined to estimate the carrier phase predicted value in the target UL transmission cycle, and the actual value of the carrier phase is obtained through the interpolation algorithm. 
     The first-order linear interpolation algorithm is taken as an example for description below. 
     For example: 
     For θ 0  and θ 1 , we get: 
       θ 0 =θ 0   m ; θ 1 =θ 1   m   (5)
 
     For θ 2i+2  (i=0, 1, 2, 3, . . . ), the carrier phase prediction value {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  can be calculated based on θ 2i+1   m  and the change rate {dot over (θ)} 2i  (as shown in  FIG. 7 ): 
       {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2 =(θ 2i+1   m +{dot over (θ)} 2i *δ 2 )  (6).
 
     It is assumed that the full-period part and the non-full-period part of {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  are n=└{circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2 /2π┘ and mod ({circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2 , 2π), respectively. 
     According to whether the difference between the non-full-period part of the predicted carrier phase value {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  and the actually-measured carrier phase value θ 2i+2   m  is within 0.5 cycle, the true carrier phase value θ 2i+2  is determined by the following formula:

     For θ 2i+1  (i=1,2,3, . . . ), θ 2i   m  and θ 2i+1   m  are two phase measurement values measured in the same DL transmission cycle, and the UE PLL between θ 2i   m  and θ 2i+1   m  does not lose lock. Therefore, the method of calculating the predicted value based on the change rate is not required to use the formula (6) and formula (7) to calculate θ 2i+1 ; and instead, the principle that the difference between the phase measurement values θ 2i+1  and θ 2i  to be solved is equal to the difference between the known phase measurement values θ 2i+1   m  and θ 2i   m  is directly used to perform the interpolation to calculate θ 2i+1 , as shown in the following formula: 
       θ 2i+1 =θ 2i +(θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m ) ( i= 1,2,3, . . . )  (8).
 
     Here, θ 2i  (i=1, 2, 3, . . . ) is calculated by formula (7). 
     Method 2: send a plurality of PRSs in the DL transmission cycle (as shown in  FIG. 8 ). 
     In this method, after each DL transmission cycle starts, the DL PRS is sent multiple times using one or more DL OFDM symbols with large bandwidth and high power at a certain time interval, to obtain a plurality of carrier signal phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }. The selection of the time interval for sending the DL PRS multiple times requires that the change between the phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } is less than 0.5 cycle. For example: 
     For the phase measurement values {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }measured in each DL transmission cycle, since the change between the phase measurement values is less than 0.5 cycle, the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase in each DL transmission cycle can be firstly derived. After the carrier signal phase measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase in each DL transmission cycle is obtained, the algorithm mentioned in the method 1 can be used to calculate the change rate of the phase measurement value in a DL transmission cycle, and the periodic change of the actual phase that may occur in the UL transmission cycle is calculated on the assumption that the actual phase change rate of the UL transmission cycle is basically the same as the calculated change rate of the DL transmission cycle. Finally, the carrier measurement value that correctly tracks the periodic change of the carrier phase and can be used for carrier phase positioning is obtained. 
     In summary, on the terminal side, referring to  FIG. 9 , a method for determining information provided by an embodiment of the present application includes followings. 
     S 101 : receiving carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side. 
     The carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side are, for example, the intermittently sent TDD carrier signals described above. 
     S 102 : determining carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning a terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side. 
     Through this method, the carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal are determined based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, thereby realizing the determination of the carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, so that the network side can position the terminal based on the carrier signal phase measurement values after the terminal reports the carrier signal phase measurement values to the network side, improving the positioning accuracy. 
     Optionally, determining carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning a terminal based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side, specifically includes: 
     obtaining first carrier signal phase measurement values (e.g., {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }described above) based on the carrier signals discontinuously sent by the network side through carrier signal phase-locked loop; 
     deriving second carrier signal phase measurement values (e.g., {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } described above) for positioning the terminal from the first carrier signal phase measurement values. 
     Optionally, the first carrier signal phase measurement values include {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . }; where θ i   m  represents a first carrier signal phase measurement value at time t i ; 
     the second carrier signal phase measurement values include {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . }, where θ i  represents a second carrier signal phase measurement value at time t i . 
     Optionally, when the phase change of carrier signals transmitted in a predefined first time interval is less than a preset value (for example, the above CASE1), {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } is derived from {θ 0   m , θ 1   m , θ 2   m , . . . } by using interpolation and modulo algorithms. 
     Optionally, the preset value is 0.5 carrier signal transmission cycle, which corresponds to a carrier phase change value pi. 
     Optionally, the predefined first time interval refers to a time interval from a moment when a previous carrier phase measurement value is obtained before phase lock of the phase-locked loop is lost to a moment when the phase-locked loop re-locks carrier signals after the phase lock is lost and a next carrier phase measurement value is obtained, where the maximum value of the predefined first time interval is the sum of an uplink data transmission cycle and a downlink data transmission cycle, and the minimum value of the predefined first time interval is the uplink data transmission cycle, for example 0.5 cycle. 
     Optionally, {θ 0 , θ 1 , θ 2 , . . . } is derived using a formula of:

     Optionally, when the phase change of carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval (for example, uplink data transmission cycle) is greater than or equal to a preset value (for example, the above CASE2), the step of deriving the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal from the first carrier signal phase measurement values includes: 
     determining carrier signal phase predicted values in a target uplink data transmission cycle by using a change rate of a plurality of (two or more, two as an example in the above embodiment, but not limited to two) first carrier signal phase measurement values in a same downlink data transmission cycle and first carrier signal phase measurement values in a previous downlink data transmission cycle of the target uplink data transmission cycle, and determining the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal according to the carrier signal phase predicted values. 
     Optionally, the plurality of first carrier signal phase measurement values (for example, corresponding to the above method 1) specifically include: carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by DL PRSs sent on one or more DL OFDM symbols with exceeding a preset bandwidth and a preset power, and carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by C-PRSs sent on other OFDM symbols in a same downlink transmission cycle; 
     or, the plurality of first carrier signal phase measurement values (for example, corresponding to the above method 2) specifically include: a plurality of (two or more, two as an example in the above embodiment, but not limited to two) carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by DL PRSs sent on DL OFDMs with exceeding a preset bandwidth and a preset power many times in a same downlink transmission cycle at a preset second time interval. 
     Optionally, a phase change of carrier signals transmitted in the preset second time interval is less than 0.5 carrier signal transmission cycle, and a carrier phase change value is pi. 
     Optionally, assuming that two first carrier signal phase measurement values measured in a same downlink data transmission cycle are {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m }, a time interval between {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } is δ 1 , two first carrier signal phase measurement values measured at two time points {t 2i+1 , t 2i+2 } across the uplink data transmission cycle being {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m }, and a time interval between {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m } is δ 2 , where i=0, 1, 2, . . . , then the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal are specifically determined by an interpolation algorithm. 
     Optionally, the determining the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal by an interpolation algorithm, includes: 
     determining a change rate of {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } as (θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )/δ 1 ; 
     determining a change rate of {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m } as: 
       {dot over (θ)} 2i ≈([(θ 2i+3   m −θ 2i+2   m )+(θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )]/2δ 1  ( i= 0,1,2, . . . )};
 
     letting θ 0 =θ 0   m ; θ 1 =θ 1   m ; 
     calculating carrier signal phase predicted values {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  based on θ 2i+1   m  and the change rate {dot over (θ)} 2i  by a formula of: 
       {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2 =(θ 2i+1   m +{dot over (θ)} 2i *δ 2 );

     Optionally, when the phase change of carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval (for example, uplink data transmission cycle) is greater than or equal to a preset value, the step of deriving the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal from the first carrier signal phase measurement values includes: 
     determining carrier signal phase predicted values in a target uplink data transmission cycle by using a change rate of a plurality of first carrier signal phase measurement values in a same downlink data transmission cycle and first carrier signal phase measurement values in a previous downlink data transmission cycle of the target uplink data transmission cycle, and determining the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal according to the carrier signal phase predicted values. 
     Optionally, the plurality of first carrier signal phase measurement values include: carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by DL PRSs sent on one or more DL OFDM symbols with exceeding a preset bandwidth and a preset power, and carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by C-PRSs sent on other OFDM symbols in a same downlink transmission cycle; 
     or the plurality of first carrier signal phase measurement values specifically include: a plurality of carrier signal phase measurement values obtained by DL PRSs sent on DL OFDMs with exceeding a preset bandwidth and a preset power many times in a same downlink transmission cycle at a preset second time interval. 
     Optionally, a phase change of carrier signals transmitted in the preset second time interval is less than 0.5 carrier signal transmission cycle, and a carrier phase change value is pi. 
     Optionally, assuming that two first carrier signal phase measurement values measured in a same downlink data transmission cycle are {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m }, a time interval between {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } is δ 1 , two first carrier signal phase measurement values measured at two time points {t 2i+1 , t 2i+2 } across the uplink data transmission cycle are {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m }, and a time interval between {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m } is δ 2 , where i=0, 1, 2, . . . , then the processor specifically determines the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal by an interpolation algorithm. 
     Optionally, the determining the second carrier signal phase measurement values for positioning the terminal by an interpolation algorithm, includes: 
     determining a change rate of {θ 2i   m , θ 2i+1   m } as (θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )/δ 1 ; 
     determining a change rate of {θ 2i+1   m , θ 2i+2   m } as: 
       {dot over (θ)} 2i ≈([(θ 2i+3   m −θ 2i+2   m )+(θ 2i+1   m −θ 2i   m )]/2δ 1  ( i= 0,1,2, . . . )};
 
     letting θ 0 =θ 0   m ; θ 1 =θ 1   m ; 
     calculating carrier signal phase predicted values {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2  based on θ 2i+1   m  and the change rate {dot over (θ)} 2i  by a formula of: 
       {circumflex over (θ)} 2i+2 =(θ 2i+1   m +{dot over (θ)} 2i *δ 2 );

     Optionally, the processor  600  judges whether the phase change of the carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval is less than the preset value in one of the following ways. 
     In a first way: reporting the accuracy of a crystal oscillator of a terminal receiver and a Doppler frequency of the terminal so that the network side judges whether the phase change of the carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval is less than the preset value according to the accuracy of a crystal oscillator of a base station transmitter as well as the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the terminal receiver and the Doppler frequency of the terminal reported by the terminal, and receiving indication information on whether the phase change of the carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval is less than the preset value sent by the network side. 
     In a second way: receiving the accuracy of a crystal oscillator of a base station transmitter provided by the network side, and judging whether the phase change of the carrier signals transmitted in the predefined first time interval is less than the preset value according to the accuracy of the crystal oscillator of the base station transmitter as well as the accuracy of a crystal oscillator of a terminal receiver and a Doppler frequency of the terminal.
