SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFECTIVE IDENTIFICATION OF GEO-LOCATION IN MOBILE HETNET ENVIRONMENTS
First Claim
1. A wireless access point geo-location method, comprising:
- receiving one or more wireless access point connectivity notifications associated with one or more user devices;
receiving at least three;
user device location coordinates associated with the one or more user devices, and wireless signal strengths associated with the one or more wireless access point connectivity notifications;
calculating, via a processor, user device distances using the at least three wireless signal strengths;
triangulating, via the processor, a wireless access point location coordinate using the at least three user device location coordinates and the calculated user device distances; and
storing the wireless access point location coordinate.

Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to location services, and more particularly to systems and methods for effective identification of geo-location in mobile HetNet environments. In one embodiment, a device geo-location method is disclosed, comprising: receiving one or more wireless signal strengths associated with connectivity of a user device to one or more wireless access points; calculating, via a processor, one or more distances of the user device from the one or more wireless access points using the one or more wireless signal strengths; triangulating a user device location coordinate using: a pre-determined wireless access point location coordinate associated with at least one of the one or more wireless access points; and the calculated one or more distances of the user device from the one or more wireless access points; and storing the user device location coordinate.
