Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for determining user equipment (UE) positioning information during a minimum drive test (MDT) process to ensure that during the MDT realization process, the acquisition of the UE position information is not limited by the positioning capabilities of a network positioning server or the UE, that is, a network side can determine the UE position information required by the MDT without the positioning support function of the positioning server and the UE. The method of the present invention for determining the user equipment (UE) positioning information during a minimum drive test (MDT) process comprises: selecting a UE in a connected state, and determining an MDT measurement result corresponding to the UE (S101); determining the UE positioning information, and adding the UE positioning information to the MDT measurement result corresponding to the UE (S102).
