Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system 100 for determining an estimated location of a base station. The base station may be, for example, a cell tower 101a of a cellular communication network, or an access point 102a of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). A base station can typically broadcast a beacon signal that provides mobile device 104a with critical information necessary to detect (or connect to) it. Multiple base stations 101a and 102a may be distributed over a geographical area.

[0015] Cell tower 101a may communicate with mobile device 104a over a greater distance than access point 102a using various cellular technologies. In some embodiments, the cell tower 101a may be a cell tower for a Mobile Communications (GSM) network with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE). In some embodiments, the cell tower 101a may be a cell tower of a Universal Mobil...

Abstract

In some implementations, a system for determining an estimated location of a base station includes a server that receives location information from mobile devices located within a communication range of base stations of a wireless communication network, processes the location information, and stores the location information in a data repository. The location information includes a location of a mobile device, the location associated with an identifier of a base station and a received signal strength indication between the mobile device and the base station. The server excludes at least one location of the mobile device from a set of locations of the mobile device using a previously determined coverage area length and a previously determined transmission signal range, and calculates a geographic location of each base station using non-excluded locations of the mobile device by accessing a base station information table using an identifier of each base station.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This disclosure claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to US Provisional Application No. 61 / 770,053, filed February 27, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to determining an estimated location of a base station. Background technique [0004] Mobile devices are able to communicate wirelessly with wireless communication networks by employing radio frequency (RF) field propagation. Radio frequency, being a frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with the propagation of radio waves, is supplied to an antenna, producing an electromagnetic field that propagates through space. One element of a wireless communication network may be a base station, eg, a cell tower of a cellular network, or an access point of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). A ...
