First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a radio unit to capture multiple data measurements of multiple wireless communications from multiple fixed location devices; and
a location engine to calculate a first client specific location of the wireless communication apparatus using at least a first portion of the multiple data measurements and first client specific location information of a corresponding first portion of the multiple fixed location devices and to calculate a second client specific location of the wireless communication apparatus using at least a second portion of the multiple data measurements and second client specific location information of a corresponding second portion of the multiple fixed location devices.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for techniques for a new method of calculating multiple locations of a wireless communication device based on the same or a subset of the same raw data measurements (such as WiFi Time-Of-Flight/Fine-Time-Measurements or RSSI) and client specific fixed location device locations sources and/or database. Additionally, new APIs and implementation methods to support the new method are disclosed.
