    摘要: This application relates to the field of communication technologies and discloses a communication method and a communication apparatus, which are used to resolve a problem of a large activation delay of a secondary serving cell serving a terminal device in an existing technology. The method includes: A network device sends temporary SSB burst configuration information to a terminal device served by a secondary serving cell, where the temporary SSB burst configuration information includes a periodicity and/or an offset for sending a temporary SSB burst by the network device in the secondary serving cell configured for the terminal device. The network device sends a temporary SSB burst in the secondary serving cell based on the temporary SSB burst configuration information, where a temporary SSB included in the temporary SSB burst does not include a PBCH.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a positioning method based on a time difference of arrival, user equipment, and a network device. The method includes: calculating, by user equipment, a first time difference of arrival RSTD1 based on positioning signals sent by a first base station and a second base station at a same moment; calculating a second time difference of arrival RSTD2 based on known location information of the user equipment; calculating a time alignment error TAE based on the RSTD1 and the RSTD2; and performing, based on the TAE, positioning based on a time difference of arrival TDOA. According to this method, the TAE caused by the base stations is subtracted during positioning calculation. In other words, the time alignment error caused by the base stations is eliminated. Therefore, accuracy of TDOA-based positioning can be ensured.

    摘要: This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to activate a secondary cell. If the activated cell is an unknown secondary cell, after a terminal device detects the secondary cell, the terminal device may send indication information to a network device. The indication information is used to trigger the network device to send an RS. In this way, after receiving the indication information, the network device may send the RS to the terminal device. Therefore, this can avoid a case in which the terminal device waits for the network device to send a reference signal with a long period, and this can reduce a delay of activating the secondary cell.

The terminal device is configured to: obtain, based on auxiliary data configured by a network device, identifiers of at least two antenna elements and attribute information of a reference signal corresponding to each of the at least two antenna elements; receive at least two reference signals based on the attribute information, where the at least two reference signals are sent by corresponding antenna elements of the at least two antenna elements, respectively; obtain positioning information by measuring the at least two reference signals; and send, to the network device, the positioning information and identification information of antenna elements corresponding to the positioning information. Positioning signals obtained by different antenna elements are different, so that the terminal device can identify which antenna element a received positioning signal comes from. Therefore, an improved distributed antenna system can implement terminal device positioning, and improve indoor positioning accuracy.
