Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for establishing a positioning network. The positioning network includes a data processing center and at least one reference station, and one node in the positioning network represents one reference station. The method includes: determining, if a first historical positioning network capable of forming a new positioning network with a newly added node exists in a network list of the data processing center, whether the newly added node forms the new positioning network with the first historical positioning network; and determining, if the network list does not exist in the data processing center, whether the newly added node is capable of forming a new positioning network with nodes in a first node information list. Before network real-time kinematic (RTK) is formed, a user can use a single-baseline RTK positioning service. The network RTK is formed once a networking condition is met. A positioning network is gradually established, requirements of users may be satisfied with less investment when there are fewer users in the early stage, and the network is gradually formed with the increase of users, so that more users can be covered by using fewer base stations.
