1. An apparatus comprising:
one or more interfaces configured to communicate with a communication device or user equipment; and
processing circuitry to control the one or more interfaces to perform a method to improve position information of one or more communication devices for the user equipment, wherein the method includes:
obtaining map information about positions of the one or more communication devices;
determining radio channel information about the one or more communication devices by analyzing a radio channel, wherein the radio channel information is a spatial radio channel information belonging to an antenna system of the user equipment;
generating a node map comprising the improved position information of the one or more communication devices using the map information and the radio channel information; and
adjusting a transmission parameter to increase communication reliability of communication between the user equipment and the one or more communication devices as a result of improved reliability of the position information of the one or more communication devices in the node map.
