Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for positioning a device to communicate with a transmitter. In one embodiment the method comprises receiving a communications signal (115, 390) from the transmitter (405), the communications signal comprising electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength corresponding to line-of-sight propagation only; determining a first spatial parameter of the device and a signal parameter of the communications signal using the received communications signal (410, 415, 420); determining second spatial parameters using the first spatial parameter and the signal parameter (425), the second spatial parameters for positioning the device to improve communication with the transmitter.
