Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a positioning method and an apparatus. In embodiments of this application, a first network element is disposed in the campus network, and a second network element is determined for each terminal device. The first network element stores a correspondence between each terminal device and a second network element corresponding to the terminal device. After receiving a positioning message reported by a first terminal device, the first network element may route, based on the pre-stored correspondence, the positioning message to a second network element corresponding to the first terminal device.
