A method for automatically determining the position of a stationary, wireless access point (20, 30) by the stationary, wireless access point (20, 30) with the aid of at least two mobile terminals (10, 40, 50), controlled by a control device of the access point and with the aid of a computer program stored in a program memory of the access point and a computer program stored in a program memory of the respective mobile terminal, comprising the following steps: a) determining, for a first validity point of time, in the stationary access point a first observation value which defines a distance of the stationary access point to a first mobile terminal, and a second observation value which defines a distance of the stationary access point to at least one second mobile terminal; b) determining, from the first mobile terminal for the first validity point of time, a first position information, which contains information about a current position of the first mobile terminal and its accuracy, and transmitting the determined first position information from the first mobile terminal to the at least one stationary access point, and determining, from the at least one second mobile terminal for the first validity point of time, a second position information, which contains information about a current position of the first mobile terminal and its accuracy, and transmitting the determined second position information from the at least second mobile terminal to the at least one stationary access point; c) calculating, at the stationary access point, a position of the stationary access point in dependance of the first and second observation values and the first and second position information for the first validity point of time, characterised in that steps a) to c) are repeated for at least one second, later validity point in time, and in that the positions calculated in step c) for the first validity point of time and the at least one second validity point of time are updated for iterative correction, and in that in the stationary access point, depending on its position and the first position information and/or the at least one second position information and/or on a movement profile of the first mobile terminal and/or on a movement profile of the at least one second mobile terminal, it is checked whether and/or when an accuracy of the position of the stationary access point can be improved, and if so, that, triggered by the stationary access point, steps a) to c) are carried out again. a) determining, for a first validity point of time, in the stationary access point a first observation value which defines a distance of the stationary access point to a first mobile terminal, and a second observation value which defines a distance of the stationary access point to at least one second mobile terminal; b) determining, from the first mobile terminal for the first validity point of time, a first position information, which contains information about a current position of the first mobile terminal and its accuracy, and transmitting the determined first position information from the first mobile terminal to the at least one stationary access point, and determining, from the at least one second mobile terminal for the first validity point of time, a second position information, which contains information about a current position of the first mobile terminal and its accuracy, and transmitting the determined second position information from the at least second mobile terminal to the at least one stationary access point; c) calculating, at the stationary access point, a position of the stationary access point in dependance of the first and second observation values and the first and second position information for the first validity point of time, characterised in that steps a) to c) are repeated for at least one second, later validity point in time, and in that the positions calculated in step c) for the first validity point of time and the at least one second validity point of time are updated for iterative correction, and in that in the stationary access point, depending on its position and the first position information and/or the at least one second position information and/or on a movement profile of the first mobile terminal and/or on a movement profile of the at least one second mobile terminal, it is checked whether and/or when an accuracy of the position of the stationary access point can be improved, and if so, that, triggered by the stationary access point, steps a) to c) are carried out again.
