Abstract
A technique of determining a location of a small cell access point in a wireless communication network is discussed herein. The small cell access point communicates with a nearby mobile device using an unlicensed radio frequency (RF) band radio, of the small cell access point. The small cell access point receives, from the mobile device over the unlicensed RF band, location information related to a location of the mobile device. The small cell access point provides the location information to a gateway within the wireless communication network. Based at least in part on the location information, the gateway may register the small cell access point for service within the wireless communication network and a licensed RF band radio of the small cell access point is activated.
