在一示例中，LMF103通过ProvideAssistanceData消息向网络设备102发送两种配置信息。网络设备102在转发第一配置信息时，仅进行转发而不会对消息进行处理。
在一些可能的实施方式中，用户设备101可以通过IE MeasAndMobParametersMRDC信令或者IE MeasAndMobParameters信令，向网络设备102发送能力信息。
在一些可能的实施方式中，对于多载波系统中的多载波，例如两个载波、三个载波或者更多载波，PRS与设定下行信号可能分别在不同载波上传输。用户设备101的能力信息用于表征此场景下，用户设备101接收不同载波上信号的能力。
在一示例中，该不同载波包括第一载波和第二载波，PRS在第一载波上传输，设定下行信号在第二载波上传输。能力信息包括用户设备101在同一时域位置接收第一载波上的PRS以及第二载波上的设定下行信号的能力。

PRS与第二类下行信号的所述SCS不同，能力信息为在同一时域位置接收不同载波上的PRS和第二类下行信号的第三能力。
该实施方式中，在用户设备101不支持第一能力时，一般也不支持第二能力和第三能力。
该实施方式中，在用户设备101支持第二能力或者第三能力时，一般可支持第一能力。
该实施方式中，不同载波可能对应两个不同的载波，或者三个不同的载波，或者更多不同的载波，每个载波上传输不同的信号。

例如，在用户设备101不支持第一能力时，即用户设备101不能同时接收不同载波上的PRS和设定下行信号。网络设备102可以配置适用于多载波上传输PRS的测量间隙(Measurement Gap，MG)。
再例如，在用户设备101支持第二能力时，网络设备102可以在不同的载波上分别发送PRS和第一类下行信号。
再例如，在用户设备101支持第三能力时，网络设备102可以在不同的载波上分别发送PRS和第二类下行信号。

在一些可能的实施方式中，网络设备102在接收到能力信息后，在获知用户设备101不支持第一能力时，可确定测量配置信息。
在一些可能的实施方式中，在确定测量配置信息之前，用户设备101可以向网络设备102发送辅助信息，该辅助信息可以包括该能力的用户设备101期待的测量间隙参数。
在一示例中，辅助信息可以包括载波的频点信息，测量间隙的起始偏置值(offset)等。辅助信息中频点(一个或多个)对应的载波为多载波中的一个或多个。
在一示例中，辅助信息还可以包括第一配置信息中相关的测量配置。
该实施方式中，用户设备101可通过LocationMeasurementInfo消息向网络设备102发送辅助信息。
该实施方式中，网络设备102在获得辅助信息，可以确定该能力用户设备101支持在何种载波上测量PRS，以及确定该能力用户设备101何时执行定位测量。从而可以适应性的配置测量间隙的时频资源，例如，配置测量间隙的频域位置(载波)和时域位置(offset和周期等)，即确定测量配置信息。

在一些可能的实施方式中，用户设备101向网络设备102发送测量结果，网络设备102将该测量结果转发至LMF103。LMF103根据测量结果进行定位相关的运算，如确定用户设备101的位置信息。
在一示例中，位置信息可以包括用户设备101的地理位置，如位置坐标，该位置坐标可以表征用户设备101的经度纬度高度等。或者，位置信息可以包括用户设备101的城市或所在区域位置。或者，位置信息可以包括用户设备101的相对坐标，如相对于某一已知位置点的相对坐标。
在一具体示例中：

本示例中，网络设备102在其他支持的载波如CC3和CC4上，在测量间隙期间不进行设定下行信号调度，如不发送下行参考信号，也不发送PDCCH。
本公开实施例中，PRS与设定下行信号间SCS相同的场景下，在用户设备101不支持第一能力时，网络设备102可以为该能力的用户设备101配置用于在多载波下测量PRS的资源，以便用户设备101可以实现多载波下的定位测量，提升定位精度。在该定位测量过程中，网络设备102不进行设定下行信号的调度。

在一个具体示例中：
LMF103在CC1和CC2上为用户设备101配置了PRS资源。
网络设备102结合第二配置信息在CC1和CC2上分别发送PRS。
在网络设备102和用户设备101支持更多载波时，网络设备102还可以在相同的时域位置在CC3上发送下行参考信号，在CC4上发送PDCCH。其中，PRS、下行参考信号和PDCCH的SCS相同。
本示例中，支持第一能力的用户设备101在相同的时域位置接收CC1和CC2上的PRS，并接收CC3上的下行参考信号，以及CC4上的PDCCH。
本公开实施例中，信号间SCS相同的场景下，在用户设备101支持第一能力时，网络设备102可以结合该能力的用户设备101，在不同载波上发送PRS和设定下行信号，从而在用户设备101实现多载波下定位测量的场景下，可以进行其他下行调度。

用户设备101结合第一配置信息以及网络设备102的指示，同时接收CC1上的PRS和CC2上的SSB。基于PRS的测量可获得定位测量结果，通过网络设备102向LMF103上报定位测量结果。基于SSB的测量可获得移动测量结果，向网络设备102上报移动测量结果。本示例中，在测量期间，不进行PDCCH等第二类下行信号的调度。
在其他示例中，LMF103还可能在CC1和CC2上均配置了PRS。网络设备102还可能在CC1和CC2上发送PRS，同时在CC3上发送SSB。PRS与SSB间的SCS不同。
本公开实施例中，信号间SCS不同的场景下，在用户设备101支持第一能力和第二能力时，网络设备102可以结合该能力的用户设备101，在不同载波上发送PRS和第一类下行信号，从而在用户设备101实现多载波下定位测量的场景下，还可以进行移动性测量，但网络设备102在此测量期间不进行其他下行数据调度。

例如，网络设备102在t1时间同时在CC1上发送PRS，在CC2上发送PDCCH。用户设备101在t2时间同时在CC1上接收PRS，在CC2上接收PDCCH。可以理解的，本实施例仅为示意用户设备101在多载波上同时接收不同信号的能力，在实际应用过程中，不同信号的传输时延及处理时延可能不同，网络设备102发送不同信号的同一时域位置可能对应同一时域区间，发送时间需满足用户设备101能够同时接收到不同载波上的信号。
本公开实施例中，PRS与第二类下行信号间SCS不同的场景下，在用户设备101支持第一能力和第三能力时，网络设备102可以结合该能力的用户设备101，在不同载波上发送PRS和第二类下行信号，从而在用户设备101实现多载波下定位测量的场景下，还可以进行下行数据调度，但网络设备102在此期间不配置移动性测量。
