1. A method of communication, comprising:

  • identifying one or more frequency bands reserved for macro access points;

    receiving pilot signals from a plurality of macro access points at a first access point on the one or more identified frequency bands;

    storing at least one parameter associated with the received pilot signals at the first access point for use in a subsequent search for a pilot signal, wherein the at least one parameter comprises a monitored frequency band, and/or a detected reference signal, a physical identity, or combinations thereof;

    deriving sequence information from the received pilot signals at the first access point, wherein the sequence information indicates different reference signals and/or physical identities associated with the plurality of macro access points and indicates timing associated with the receipt of the pilot signals from the plurality of macro access points;

    receiving, from a network entity and at the first access point, location information indicative of locations of the plurality of macro access points;

    determining at the first access point a location of the first access point based on the sequence information and the location information, andwherein the identifying the one or more frequency bands comprises receiving an indication of the one or more frequency bands from the network entity and wherein the indication of the frequency band is based on an address associated with a termination point of a fixed broadband connection to which the first access point is attached.
