ACCESS POINT SELECTION FOR NETWORK-BASED POSITIONING
First Claim
1. A method for network-based positioning of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- selecting a first set of access points (APs) to take first positioning measurements from the mobile device;
obtaining the first positioning measurements from the first set of APs;
selecting, based on the first positioning measurements, a second set of APs to take second positioning measurements from the mobile device;
obtaining the second positioning measurements from the second set of APs; and
determining a location of the mobile device based on the first positioning measurements and the second positioning measurements.
