Abstract

A positioning method, applied to a mobility management network element, includes when learning that a terminal device needs to be handed over from a first access network device to a second access network device, sending a first message to a location management network element, where the first message indicates to suspend positioning measurement on the terminal device, and when learning that the terminal device has been handed over to the second access network device, sending a second message to the location management network element, where the second message enables the location management network element to send a first positioning request, and the first positioning request requests to perform positioning measurement on the terminal device.
