S10: and acquiring the receiving power value of at least one reference signal of the terminal to be positioned.
In this embodiment, the positioning server obtains, through the AMF, a reception power value of at least one reference signal of the terminal to be positioned, where the reception power value of the reference signal is calculated by the terminal to be positioned or the base station according to the signal strength of the received reference signal.

S20: an estimated distance value between the terminal to be located and at least one base station is calculated.
In this embodiment, a preset positioning method may be used to calculate an estimated distance value between the terminal to be positioned and the base station. For example, the preset positioning method may be a Round Trip Time (RRT) calculation method, an uplink arrival angle (UpLink Angle Of Arrival, UL-AOA) calculation method, or a downlink arrival angle (DownLink Angle Of Arrival, DL-AOA) calculation method, where the Round Trip Time calculation method is: the time from the start of sending the reference signal to the terminal or the base station to the time when receiving the acknowledgement signal is multiplied by the speed of light and divided by 2, namely the distance between the terminal to be located and the base station, so as to further improve the calculation accuracy, the time required for receiving the reference signal and sending the acknowledgement signal can be subtracted on the basis of the time.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether an obstacle exists between the terminal to be positioned and the base station according to the ideal reception power value and the reception power value, and if so, correct the reception power value according to the ideal calculation power value to obtain a corrected reception power value.
S50: and correcting the estimated distance value according to the corrected receiving power value to obtain a final distance value of the terminal to be positioned.

s61: and acquiring a plurality of ideal receiving power values of the test signal under a plurality of test distance values.
In this embodiment, the plurality of test distance values are a plurality of known distance values between the terminal and the base station to be positioned, and under the condition that the plurality of known distance values and no obstacle exists between the terminal and the base station, the terminal or the base station transmits a test signal, and if the terminal transmits the test signal, the base station calculates an ideal receiving power value according to the intensity of the received test signal; if the base station transmits the test signal, the terminal calculates an ideal receiving power value according to the intensity of the received test signal.
S62: and determining the corresponding relation between the distance value and the ideal receiving power value according to the plurality of testing distance values and the plurality of ideal receiving power values.
In this embodiment, the positioning server performs linear fitting on the plurality of test distance values and the plurality of ideal receiving power values according to the plurality of ideal receiving power values of the plurality of test signals at the plurality of test distances, and determines a correspondence between the distance values and the ideal receiving power values.

s41: if the received power value is smaller than the ideal received power value, calculating the difference between the received power value and the ideal received power value.
In this embodiment, in a dynamically changing scenario, the obstacle is not fixedly present between the terminal to be located and the base station, and after the positioning server obtains the receiving power values of the reference signals, it is unable to determine whether the obstacle exists between the terminal to be located and the base station according to the receiving power values. Since the ideal reception power value refers to the reception power value of the reference signal in the case that there is no shielding between the terminal to be located and the base station, it is possible to determine whether there is an obstacle between the terminal to be located and the base station according to the ideal reception power value. If the receiving power value is smaller than the ideal receiving power value, the terminal to be positioned and the base station possibly have obstacle shielding, and whether the obstacle shielding exists is further determined by calculating the difference value between the receiving power value and the ideal receiving power value.

In this embodiment, by setting a preset difference threshold, when the difference between the received power value and the ideal received power value is greater than the preset difference threshold, it is determined that there is an obstacle shielding between the terminal to be located and the base station, and a preset correction method is adopted to correct the received power value, so as to obtain a corrected received power value. For example, the received power value may be corrected according to the difference between the received power value and the ideal received power value, to obtain a corrected received power value.
In an alternative embodiment, if the received power value is greater than or equal to the ideal received power value, it is determined that no obstacle exists between the terminal and the base station, and no correction is required for the received power value; if the received power value is smaller than the ideal received power value but the difference value is smaller than or equal to the preset difference value threshold, the error of the received power value is determined to be in a specified range, and the received power value is not required to be corrected.
According to the terminal positioning method provided by the embodiment of the application, if the receiving power value is smaller than the ideal receiving power value, the difference value between the receiving power value and the ideal receiving power value is calculated, and if the difference value is larger than the preset difference value threshold value, the receiving power value is corrected, and the corrected receiving power value is obtained.
