Facilitation of timed fingerprint mobile device locating
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining respective signal strength information for base station devices, wherein the respective signal strength information is measured by a mobile device;
based on the mobile device measuring signal strength information for a base station device of the base station devices and determining the signal strength information for the base station device satisfies a defined condition, wherein the defined condition comprises the signal strength information for the base station device being determined to be greater than a defined threshold;
decreasing an initial search area associated with a set of the base station devices to a search area associated with the base station device having the signal strength information that satisfies the defined condition;
determining a defined distance from an approximate location of the base station device comprising the signal strength information that satisfies the defined condition, wherein an amount of the defined distance is based on another amount of the signal strength information for the base station device; and
scanning bin regions representing the search area, wherein the search area is a polygonal region.

Abstract
Downlink signal strength measurements from base stations (BSs) are reported by mobile devices to facilitate mobile device locating. A system receives the signal strength information and determines whether the mobile device is within a selected distance from any of the BSs in response to detecting that signal strength information for one of the BSs is greater than a predefined value. The system determines an area over which to search for the mobile device if the system fails to detect that the signal strength information for any of the BSs is greater than the predefined value. The area over which the search is performed is an intersection of all regions determined by the signal strengths of the BSs.
