This application provides a positioning method, apparatus, and device. The method includes: receiving a first positioning reference signal PRS on a first frequency domain resource, where the first frequency domain resource is a frequency domain resource in an unlicensed spectrum; receiving a second PRS on a second frequency domain resource, where the second frequency domain resource is a frequency domain resource in a licensed spectrum; determining, 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 determining a location of a terminal based on the first positioning measurement result and the second positioning measurement result. The method may be applicable to quickly and accurately determining the location of the terminal without occupying a large quantity of frequency domain resources in the licensed spectrum.
