An information processing system comprising a portable information device, a relay apparatus that connects the portable information device to a network, and a server. The server includes a library in which, for each relay apparatus, an area where the relay apparatus is present is registered in association with relay apparatus identification information. The portable information device obtains connection authentication from the relay apparatus installed in an area where the own device is present, and when the authentication is successful, the relay apparatus that provides the authentication transmits the relay apparatus identification information to the server.

A communication device includes: a plurality of wireless communication units configured to perform wireless communication with another communication device; and a control unit configured to identify position information indicating a position at which the other communication device is located on the basis of at least three distance measurement results indicating a distance between each of at least three wireless communication units and the other communication device obtained in accordance with a result of wireless communication performed by each of the at least three wireless communication units among the plurality of wireless communication units.

This application provide a MEC-based positioning method, a device, and a wireless communication system. The method includes: A first network element receives first positioning request information for requesting to position a terminal, and the first positioning request information carries identification information of the terminal. The first network element determines, based on the first positioning request information, a positioning functional entity for positioning the terminal, where the positioning functional entity is a positioning server. The first network element obtains second positioning request information based on the first positioning request information, and sends the second positioning request information to the positioning server. After receiving the second positioning request information, the positioning server sends measurement request information to the terminal via a user plane, to request the terminal to report measurement data. Then, the positioning server positions the terminal based on the measurement data reported by the terminal via the user plane.
