Abstract: Techniques are provided, which may be implemented via various methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture. For example, an electronic device may obtain an estimated location of a mobile device, determine a quality of a geometric distribution of transmitting devices capable of transmitting wireless signals to the mobile device at the estimated location, and assign an uncertainty to the estimated location. In certain implementations, an electronic device may further determine an adapted transmission setting for a transmitting device and transmit a corresponding message to the transmitting device. In certain implementations, an electronic device may identify adapted assistance data for the mobile device and transmit a corresponding message to one or more other electronic devices.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for determining whether to use an indoor map or an outdoor map based on local area network (LAN) signals from access points (APs) are disclosed. If only weak AP signals belonging to a location content identifier (LCI) are received, prior art systems display an indoor map associated with the LCI. An improvement herein further determines a quality of AP signals and/or wide area network (WAN) signals before determining whether to display the indoor map or an outdoor map.

Abstract: A method of associating environmental context with wireless access points is disclosed. In some embodiments, a method on a user equipment may comprise determining at least one environmental context associated with a subset of one or more Access Points (APs) visible to the UE at an estimated location of the UE. The at least one environmental context associated with the subset may be determined based on one or more of wireless measurements by the UE, and/or sensor measurements by the UE. Further, at least one AP cluster may be determined by clustering the subset of the one or more APs visible to the UE based on the at least one environmental context and the estimated location. Environmental context for APs may be crowdsourced and stored and provided to a UE as location assistance information to facilitate location determination and other functions.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments facilitate combining a plurality of wireless signal measurement sets with displacement measurements within some time interval of a position request to determine a User Equipment (UE) position. A first set of wireless signal measurements may be obtained from a first set of base stations at a first time at a first location. Subsequently, a second set of wireless signal measurements from a second set of base stations may be obtained at a second time at a second location distinct from the first location. A displacement measurement (e.g. a displacement vector) between the first location and the second location may be obtained. The position of the UE at the second location may then be determined based on the first and second sets of wireless signal measurements and the displacement measurement. In some embodiments, the first and second sets of wireless signal measurements may each be deficient measurement sets.
