1. A positioning method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, a plurality of synchronization signal blocks sent by a network device;
determining, by the terminal device, a number M of groups according to a first correspondence, wherein the first correspondence comprises a correspondence between the number M of groups and a first maximum number of synchronization signal blocks that the network device supports to send, wherein M is a positive integer;
dividing, by the terminal device, the plurality of synchronization signal blocks into M synchronization signal block groups according to the number M of groups; and
sending, by the terminal device and for each of the synchronization signal block groups, random access preambles corresponding to N synchronization signal blocks on random access resources corresponding to the N synchronization signal blocks belonging to a same synchronization signal block group, and N is a positive integer.
