Patent ID: 8867331

Claim:
A method for sending Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs), being applied in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, comprising: Sending the PRSs over predefined symbols in a subframe, wherein: the predefined symbols comprise: the sixth Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, the seventh OFDM symbol, the ninth OFDM symbol, the tenth OFDM symbol, the eleventh OFDM symbol and the fourteenth OFDM symbol, in a case that: the LTE system adopts normal cyclic prefix, a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) adopts single-antenna or double-antenna ports for transmission, and a bandwidth of the LTE system is less than or equal to 10 resource blocks; and the predefined symbols comprise: the sixth OFDM symbol, the seventh OFDM symbol, the tenth OFDM symbol, the eleventh OFDM symbol, the thirteenth OFDM symbol and the fourteenth OFDM symbol, in a case that: when the LTE system adopts normal cyclic prefix, the PBCH adopts four-antenna ports for transmission, and the bandwidth of the LTE system is less than or equal to 10 resource blocks.
