Method for selecting minimization drive test (MDT) positioning mode and equipment

The invention discloses a method for selecting a minimization drive test (MDT) positioning mode and equipment. By applying the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, a base station can acquire third generation partnership project (3GPP) positioning capability information of terminal equipment, selects the MDT positioning mode for the terminal equipment according to the 3GPP positioning capability information and standalone global navigation satellite system (GNSS) capability information of the terminal equipment and the positioning capability information of the base station, and informs the terminal equipment of the MDT positioning mode, so hat the problem that the base station cannot acquire the 3GPP positioning capability information of the terminal equipment and cannot select the proper DT positioning mode for the terminal equipment in the prior art can be solved. By utilizing the method, MDT measured values are acquired, and simultaneously the aim of acquiring corresponding geographical position information is fulfilled, so that the MDT of long term evolution (LTE) Re1-11 can work.
