1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving, from a network device of a telecommunication network, propagation delay measurements based on signals exchanged by a mobile device and an access point device;
receiving, from the network device, location data related to a location of the mobile device;
generating location data based upon the propagation delay measurements and the location data;
determining, at a random time interval, intersecting locations between the location data and other location data;
determining an estimated location of the access point device wherein the determining the estimated location comprises determining the estimated location satisfies an error threshold, and wherein the error threshold is a difference between a minimum propagation delay and a maximum propagation delay of the propagation delay measurements;
generating, based on locations of different mobile devices and other propagation delay measurements for other signals exchanged by the access point device and the different mobile devices, additional location data associated with determining that the actual location of the access point device is an improbable location setting the estimated location of the access point device as an actual location of the access point device based on a condition being determined to have been satisfied; and
sending, to the network device, the additional location data of the access point device to facilitate modeling of network devices of a network comprising the access point device.

Abstract
Site location determination using crowd sourced propagation delay and location data is provided. A propagation delay component receives a set of propagation delay measurements for communications between a mobile device and an access point. A user equipment location component receives a location of the mobile device, and a combination component combines the set of propagation delay measurements and the location into a set of location data. An access point location component determines a set of intersecting locations between the set of location data and additional sets of location data, and determines a location of the access point based on the set of intersecting locations.

10. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, propagation delay measurements based on signals exchanged by a mobile device and an access point device;
receiving, by the system, a location of the mobile device;generating, by the system, location data based on the propagation delay measurements and the location of the mobile device; comparing, by the system, the location data and first additional location data corresponding to mobile devices, wherein the comparing comprises comparing intersecting locations of the mobile devices and results in quantity data; determining, by the system based on the comparing of the location data and the first additional location data, an estimated location of the access point device; determining, by the system, quantity data based on a condition related to an error threshold being determined to have been satisfied, wherein the error threshold is a difference between a minimum propagation delay and a maximum propagation delay; comparing, by the system at a defined time interval, the location data and second additional location data corresponding to the mobile devices, wherein the comparing the location data and the second additional location data comprises comparing other intersecting locations of the mobile devices; and adding, by the system, flag data to the location data in response to a condition related to the quantity data being determined to have been satisfied, wherein the flag data indicates that an access point location is an improbable location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving a first location of a first mobile device and first propagation delay measurements for first signals exchanged by the first mobile device and an access point device; generating first location data using the first propagation delay measurements and the first location of the first mobile device; receiving a second location of a second mobile device and second propagation delay measurements for second signals exchanged by the second mobile device and the access point device; generating second location data using the second propagation delay measurements and the second location of the second mobile device; determining an intersecting location between the first location data and the second location data; identifying an estimated location of the access point device based on the intersecting location; biasing the estimated location as not corresponding to an actual location of the access point device; determining that the second propagation delay measurements do not include a compensation factor for a cable length of a connection between an antenna of the access point device and base equipment for the access point device; correcting the second propagation delay measurements based on the compensation factor for the cable length; and instructing a cell site component to increase a sample size associated with the location data in response to a condition associated with the estimated location being determined to have been satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
