1. A method of communication, comprising:

  • detecting, at an access point base station, location-verification data transmitted by at least one macro cell; and

    transmitting a response message, including location information, via a backhaul network to a location authentication component to authenticate a location of the access point base station based on the location information,wherein the location information includes location data that is a function of the location-verification data,wherein the location-verification data comprises time-varying, pseudo-random data that is verifiable by the location authentication component,wherein a rate of change of the time-varying, pseudo-random data decreases when the location of the access point base station is within a geographical area associated with the location-verification data, andwherein the rate of change of the time-varying, pseudo-random data increases when the location of the access point base station is outside the geographical area associated with the location-verification data.
