Abstract
A method and apparatus for estimating a position of a terminal is provided. The method and apparatus include a technique for a sensor network, a machine to machine (M2M), a machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of things (IoT), and may be used for intelligent services based on the technique (smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail industry, and security and safety related services). The method includes identifying direction information of a received signal if setting up connection between a terminal and an access point (AP), receiving information about a barometric pressure sensor from the terminal, and calculating the position of the terminal based on the direction information and the information about the barometric pressure sensor of the terminal.
