Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for providing self-timing and self-locating in an access point (AP) base station. In one embodiment, the method involves receiving Satellite Positioning System (SPS) signals from a first data source (e.g., plurality of satellites), wherein the SPS signals may include SPS time data, SPS frequency data, and SPS position data. The method may further involve obtaining from a second data source (e.g., cell site, terrestrial navigation station, server, user input interface, etc.) at least one of second time data, second frequency data and second position data, and determining relative reliability of the first and second data sources.
