Abstract

Locations of cells of a communication network can be estimated, determined, and validated. Cell location component (CLC) can analyze timing advance (TA) measurement data and/or location data associated with devices associated with a base station associated with one or more cells. CLC can estimate a first location of the base station, based on the TA measurement data and/or location data, to facilitate estimating the location of an associated cell. CLC can validate the estimated cell location or recorded cell location of the cell (recorded in a cell location pool) based on analysis of estimated cell location, recorded cell location, TA measurement data, and/or location data, and, based on the validation, can tag the cell location determination as accurate, acceptable, bad, or uncertain. CLC can request additional monitoring of a cell location determination tagged as uncertain, or investigation of a cell location determination tagged as bad.
