The selection circuit selects at least one radio electronic device as an anchor used for estimating a position of a mobile terminal, based on first information and second information, the first information being related to an arrangement in a first region in which at least one of radio electronic devices including the at least one radio electronic device is arranged, the second information being related to a second region within which the mobile terminal is movable in the first region. The estimation circuit estimates a position of the mobile terminal based on third information related to radio communication quality between the anchor and the mobile terminal and on information related to the anchor in the first information.
