1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, by at least one wireless computing system access point of a computing system, a wireless signal from a user computing device;

    calculating, using the computing system, a first estimated location of the user computing device based on an angle of arrival of the received wireless signal with respect to each of the at least one wireless computing system access point;

    calculating, using the computing system, a current received signal strength indicator (“

    RSSI”

    ) estimated location of the user computing device based on a signal strength of the received wireless signal with respect to each of the at least one wireless computing system access point;

    determining, using the computing system, whether an elapsed time between calculating the current RSSI estimated location of the user computing device and a previously calculated RSSI estimated location of the user computing device is within a configured time interval;

    in response to a determination that an elapsed time between calculating the current RSSI estimated location of the user computing device and the previously calculated RSSI estimated location of the user computing device is within the configured time interval, calculating, using the computing system, a second estimated location of the user computing device based on a combination of results of the first estimated location of the user computing device based on the angle of arrival of the received wireless signal with results of the previously calculated RSSI estimated location of the user computing device and the current RSSI estimated location of the user computing device; and

    transmitting, using the computing system and to the user computing device, location data related to the second estimated location to indicate an actual location of the user computing device.
