Abstract

A server node (240, 340) and method therein for assisting a first wireless communication device (210, 310) and a second wireless communication device (220, 320) to seek each other in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The server node inquires positioning and movement information of the first and second devices and obtains information on a relative position between the first and the second devices. The server node then sends instructions to at least one of the first and second devices based on the information on the relative position.
