Abstract
A system and method for determining the location of a base transceiver station (BTS) are provided. A personal BTS can determine its location using information transmitted by neighboring BTSs or from mobile station transmissions to neighboring BTSs. If the personal BTS cannot determine its location using information from neighboring BTSs or from mobile station transmissions, the personal BTS can contact a cellular network operator to request that a technician come out to verify the location.
