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 wireless network, propagation delay measurements based on signals exchanged by a mobile device and an access point device;
receiving, from the network device, first location data related to a first location of the mobile device;
generating second location data based on the propagation delay measurements and the first location data;
based on the second location data, determining an estimated location of the access point device resulting in third location data related to the estimated location;
generating first flag data associated with a first flagging of the estimated location as not corresponding to an actual location of the access point device;
comparing the third location data to geographical data related to a topology of the estimated location;
based on the comparing, determining that the estimated location is an improbable location of the access point device; and
generating second flag data associated with a second flagging of the estimated location as an undesirable location.

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.

11. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a system comprising a processor, propagation delay measurements by receiving signals exchanged by a mobile device, of mobile devices, and an access point device; receiving, by the system, first location data representing a location of the mobile device; generating, by the system, second location data based on the propagation delay measurements and the first location data; comparing, by the system, the second location data and first additional location data corresponding to the mobile device, wherein the comparing comprises comparing intersecting locations of the mobile devices, resulting in quantity data; based on the quantity data, determining, by the system, an estimated location of the access point device, resulting in estimated location data; marking, by the system, the estimated location as not corresponding to an actual location of the access point device; comparing, by the system, the estimated location data to topographical data related to a topography of the location of the mobile device; in response to the comparing the estimated location data to topographical data, marking, by the system, the estimated location as an undesirable location; and in response to the comparing, determining, by the system, that the estimated location is not a probable location of the access point device based on satisfaction of a probability criterion. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. 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 that were 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; based on the intersecting location, identifying an estimated location of the access point device resulting in estimated location data; and in response to comparing the estimated location data to geographical data related to a geography associated with the estimated location, generating metadata indicating the estimated location does not correspond to an actual location of the access point device, wherein the metadata comprises data associated with the estimated location being an undesirable location. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
