First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, using a computing device, a plurality of access points in a first area using an identifier for each access point of the plurality of access points;
associating a location assistance quality value with each access point of the plurality of access points;
selecting a subset of the plurality of access points based on the location assistance quality value of each access point of the plurality of access points; and
generating assistance data including identifiers for the subset of the plurality of access points.

Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses selecting access points and generating assistance data for access points is provided. In one embodiment a plurality of access points in a first area are identified, a location assistance quality value with each access point of the plurality of access points is associated with each access point, and a subset of the plurality of access points is selected based on the location assistance quality value of each access point of the plurality of access points. Assistance data is then generated for the selected access points.

15. A mobile device comprising:
-
a processor; an antenna coupled to the processor; and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor; wherein the antenna receives signals from a plurality of access points and communicates the signals to the processor which identifies the plurality of access points in a first area using an identifier for each access point of the plurality of access points; and wherein the processor associates a location assistance quality value with each access point of the plurality of access points, selects a subset of the plurality of access points based on the location assistance quality value of each access point of the plurality of access points and generates assistance data including identifiers for the subset of the plurality of access points. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
