A computer-implemented method for precision hyperbolic location fingerprinting, the method comprising, at a computing system, the steps of: (a) receiving measured RSSI values associated with a plurality of fixedly-positioned sensor devices, wherein the plurality of fixedly-positioned sensor devices are stationary in known locations in a 2D environment and caused to transit radio signals to each other and measure characteristics of the received radio signals; (b) generating a raw RSSI fingerprint for each sensor device based on the measured RSSI values; (c) generating a log-ratio RSSI fingerprint between a pair of sensor devices; (d) normalizing the raw RSSI fingerprint and normalizing the log-ratio RSSI fingerprint; (e) combining the raw RSSI fingerprint and the log-ratio RSSI fingerprint to form a fusion RSSI fingerprint; and (f) repeating steps (a) to (e) at predetermined intervals to enhance prediction accuracy of regional fingerprints within the environment.

A cell measurement method. According to the method, a terminal device determines that a first cell as a camped cell of the terminal device; and then determines that the terminal device is in a target environment. The terminal device further obtains a signal strength of the first cell and performs a measurement on a second cell when the signal strength of the first cell is less than a first threshold and greater than a second threshold. The second cell determined by the terminal device based on the target environment. The terminal device switches the camped cell of the terminal device from the first cell to the second cell when a measurement result of the second cell meets a handover condition.
