Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for determining a location of a device using femtocell information are provided. In this regard, a femtocell management entity may be operable to receive global navigation system satellite (GNSS) coordinates of one or more of a plurality of femtocells and one or both of a receive signal strength indication (RSSI) and/or power levels of one or more of the plurality of femtocells, which are managed by the femtocell management entity. The femtocell management entity may be operable to determine a location of a communication device that is derived based on the received GNSS coordinates, RSSI and/or power levels of one or more of the plurality of femtocells and communicate the determined location to a communication device. One or more location based applications and/or services within the communication device may be operable to utilize the received determined location to provide mapping and/or location information.
