Abstract
Techniques for provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses to allow a mobile device to identify and select certain wireless transmitting devices for use in estimating a location of the mobile device. For example with one method, a mobile device may identify a plurality of wireless transmitting devices from which measurements are obtainable to estimate a location of the mobile device, and select a set of wireless transmitting devices based, at least in part, on a location reliability indicator.
