Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention separates the region of measurement space into a plurality of sub-regions and calculates a confidence, for reconstruction of an underlying signal within said space, corresponding to each of the sub-regions. This embodiment can then accept measurements from mobile measuring devices within said measurement space and store those measurements if they originate from devices in sub-regions having a confidence below an acceptable value.

12. A method for efficiently managing a reconstruction of broadcast signal, said method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of mobile measurement platforms capable of measuring said signal within a service area;
segmenting said service area into a plurality of sub-regions;
calculating an upper and a lower bound for the value of said signal within each said sub-regions; and
for each said sub-region, calculating a confidence that a measured value of said signal lies between said upper and said lower bound. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
