A positioning method and a corresponding terminal and system. A terminal acquires positioning information of the terminal, and sends the acquired positioning information to a first transmission node, the positioning information comprising at least one type of the following information: signal strength information, a subframe or subframe set index, channel characteristic information, access point information and environment characteristic information. The first transmission node transmits the positioning information to a positioning service system, and the positioning service system acquires the positioning information reported by the terminal and determines a geographic position of the terminal according to the positioning information. The present invention can satisfy related enhanced positioning demands.
