    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a first dataset comprising CSI measurements associated with first UEs and actual positions of the first UEs within a coverage region of a network node is received. Then, a second dataset comprising at least one CSI measurement associated with at least one second UE whose position within the coverage region of the network node is to be estimated is received. After that, based on the first and second datasets, the at least one CSI measurement associated with the at least one second UE is assigned to one of the first UEs that appears closest to the at least one second UE. Finally, the position of the at least one second UE within the coverage region of the network node is estimated by using a semi-supervised machine learning algorithm that receives the first and second datasets and the actual position of the closest first UE.
