Abstract

A first location management network element receives first positioning request information from an access management network element, where the first positioning request information includes an identifier of a gateway mobile location center network element that requests location information, and the location information is a location of a terminal device. The first location management network element determines, based on the identifier of the gateway mobile location center network element that requests the location information, whether to allow a positioning request from the gateway mobile location center network element that requests the location information. The first location management network element sends first positioning request response information to the access management network element, where the first positioning request response information is used to notify the access management network element whether the positioning request for the terminal device is allowed.
