1. A computer-implemented method of quantifying the shadow fading observed in a wireless environment having a plurality of wireless access points comprising:

  • receiving location information relating to respective locations of the plurality of wireless access points in the wireless environment;

    selecting a plurality of transceiver pairings from the plurality of wireless access points;

    determining, based on the location information, a distance between individual wireless access points associated with the transceiver pairings to obtain a plurality of distances;

    causing at least one wireless signal to be transmitted between each of the plurality of transceiver pairings;

    determining a plurality of shadow fading factors based on the plurality of distances and received signal strength (RSS) information respectively associated with the at least one wireless signal transmitted between each of the plurality of transceiver pairings; and

    determining an average shadow fading factor based on the plurality of shadow fading factors.
