DRIVE TEST INFORMATION EXCHANGE METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A drive test information exchange method, comprising:
- receiving, by a positioning controller, a positioning request message sent by user equipment (UE), wherein the positioning request message comprises indication information indicating that positioning of the positioning controller is used for a purpose of a drive test;
sending, by the positioning controller, positioning assistance information to the UE after the positioning controller receives the positioning request message sent by the UE;
receiving, by the positioning controller, a measurement result sent by the UE, wherein the measurement result is obtained by the UE by performing measurement according to the positioning assistance information;
obtaining, by the positioning controller, positioning information according to the measurement result; and
sending, by the positioning controller, drive test information to a drive test unit according to the indication information, wherein the drive test information comprises the positioning information, the measurement result, and a time stamp.
