Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, an apparatus and a device for location service processing, and a medium. The method includes: after receiving a location service request, the location management function sending a QoS index requirement containing integrity to a terminal through a positioning protocol; the terminal performing auxiliary measurement function and integrity auxiliary monitoring according to the index requirement, and returning a measurement value to the location management function; and the location management function performing location estimation and integrity estimation according to the returned measurement value.
