    Abstract: According to one configuration, an example communication system includes multiple communication devices such as a primary wireless access point and a secondary wireless access point (such as a so-called wireless network extender). The primary wireless access point can be configured to control operation of the secondary wireless access point. A communication management resource (such as location management function) associated with the communication system receives first location information indicating a location of the secondary wireless access point. The communication management resource determines a relative position of the primary wireless access point with respect to the secondary wireless access point. Based on the first location information and the determined relative position, the communication management resource produces (derives) second location information indicating a location of the primary wireless access point.
