INDOOR POSITIONING METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a positioning server; and
a base station configured to determine a floor number of a floor on which the base station is located, and send the floor number to a positioning server;
whereinthe positioning server is configured to obtain floor numbers of floors on which at least one base station is located, receive identification information of a first terminal from one or more of the at least one base station, determine the first terminal according to the identification information, and determine vertical location information of the first terminal according to the floor numbers of the floors on which the at least one base station is located.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to an indoor positioning method and an apparatus. In this solution, a positioning server obtains floor numbers of floors on which at least one base station is located; the positioning server receives identification information of a first terminal; the positioning server determines the first terminal according to the identification information; and the positioning server determines vertical location information of the first terminal according to the floor numbers of the floors on which the at least one base station is located. When a terminal is located indoors, positioning is meaningful only when a specific floor on which the terminal is located is determined.
