Wireless device position determining and frequency assigning systems, devices and methods

摘要

Wireless communication methods determine a position of a first wireless base station. A wireless communication frequency to be used by the first wireless base station is determined by identifying a common frequency that can be used at a plurality of locations surrounding and spaced apart from the position of the first wireless base station that was determined. The first wireless base station may be a femto-base station and the frequency may be an unlicensed frequency. Related systems and devices are also described.

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
determining a position of a first wireless base station by obtaining a position of a nearby second wireless base station and determining the position of the first wireless base station from the position of the nearby second wireless base station that was obtained and a direction between the first wireless base station and the nearby second wireless base station; determining a wireless communication frequency to be used by the first wireless base station based upon the position of the first wireless base station that was determined; and communicating by the first wireless base station over the frequency that was identified, wherein the determining the wireless communication frequency to be used by the first wireless base station based upon the position of the first wireless base station that was determined comprises querying a database that is external of the first wireless base station to identify the wireless communication frequency that can be used at a respective one of a plurality of locations surrounding and spaced apart from the position of the first wireless base station that was determined.
