Abstract
A positioning method of estimating a location of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network is disclosed. The positioning method includes performing positioning using a global positioning system (GPS)-based signal, checking whether the UE is located indoors based on received signal intensity of the GPS-based signal, and changing a positioning method using the GPS-based signal to a positioning method using a local area network (LAN)-based signal when it is determined that the UE is located indoors, and performing a positioning using the changed positioning method using the LAN-based signal.
