PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for determining the position of a base station in a cellular communication network.SOLUTION: A first base station (e.g., a home base station) determines its position on the basis of position information for at least one user equipment (UE) within radio coverage of the first base station and a second base station. The first base station sends at least one position request for the at least one UE to the second base station, receives position information for the at least one UE from the second base station, and determines a position estimate for itself on the basis of the position information. In another design, the second base station receives a position request for the first base station, obtains position information for at least one UE, determines a position estimate for the first base station on the basis of the position information, and sends the position estimate to the first base station. |
