Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A positioning apparatus, comprising:
a receiver configured to:
receive a first positioning reference signal (PRS) on a first frequency domain resource, wherein the first frequency domain resource is a frequency domain resource in an unlicensed spectrum, and wherein the first positioning measurement result comprises a time of arrival (TOA) of the first PRS or a time difference of arrival (TDOA) of the first PRS, wherein the TDOA is a difference value between TOAs that the first PRS sent by a terminal takes to arrive at different network devices, or a difference value between TOAs that first PRSs sent by different network devices take to arrive at the terminal; and
receive a second PRS on a second frequency domain resource, wherein the second frequency domain resource is a frequency domain resource in a licensed spectrum, and wherein the second positioning measurement result comprises an angle of arrival (AOA) of the second PRS;

a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and
one or more hardware processors in communication with the non-transitory memory storage, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to:
determine, based on the first PRS and the second PRS, a first positioning measurement result corresponding to the first PRS and a second positioning measurement result corresponding to the second PRS; and
determine a location of the terminal based on the first positioning measurement result and the second positioning measurement result, wherein the location of the terminal is determined based on the AOA of the second PRS in the licensed spectrum and the TOA or the TDOA of the first PRS in the unlicensed spectrum.
