Abstract
An illustrative location management system obtains location data of one or more mobile user equipment (UE) devices communicatively coupled to a base station facility of a wireless communication network, obtains signal data representing information about signals communicated between the base station facility and the mobile UE devices by way of the wireless communication network, and determines, based on the signal data and the location data of the mobile UE devices, location data of the base station facility. In certain examples, the location data of the one or more mobile UE devices represents at least three different locations of the mobile UE devices to a sub-meter level of accuracy that is leveraged to determine a location of the base station facility to a sub-meter level of accuracy. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.
