Method and system for determining a location of a mobile device based on a plurality of location samples
First Claim
1. A method for communication in a mobile device, the method comprising:
- acquiring three location samples of said mobile device using three resources, wherein each of said three location samples comprises an associated accuracy indicator;
determining a respective region around each of said three location samples based on said associated accuracy indicator;
expanding said respective region around each of said three location samples until a portion of said respective regions two of said three location samples overlap;
determining valid location samples from among said three location samples as those expanded respective regions that overlap; and
determining a location of said mobile device utilizing said valid location samples.

Abstract
A mobile device may be operable to receive three or more location samples for the mobile device from each of three or more resources. Two or more valid location samples may be selected based on an accuracy indicator associated with each of the received location samples. A location of the mobile device may be determined utilizing the selected two or more valid location samples. A region around each of the received location samples may be determined based on the accuracy indicator and a condition of a geographic environment that is associated with each of the received location samples. Two or more valid location samples among the received location samples may be selected in instances when at least a portion of the region of each of the selected valid location samples overlaps with at least a portion of the regions of each of other selected valid location samples.
