Abstract
Methods and apparatuses of providing positioning assistance data are disclosed. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a venue is partitioned into a plurality of tiles, with each tile represents an area of the venue. Measurements from each tile with respect to one or more access points in the venue may be represented as one or more images. The one or more images are then processed to generate a compressed positioning assistance data of the venue. The compressed positioning assistance data may then be provided to a mobile device. Position of a mobile device may be determined using the compressed positioning assistance data of the venue.
