Abstract: A location engine uses the empirical measurements made by a scouting wireless terminal (i) to discover the existence of a reference radio within a geographic region; (ii) to generate an estimate of the location of the newly-discovered reference radio, and (iii) to generate an estimate of the transmission power of the downlink control channel radio signal transmitted by the newly-discovered reference radio. The location engine then uses: (i) the estimate of the location of the newly-discovered reference radio, and (ii) the estimate of the transmission power of the downlink control channel radio signal transmitted by the newly-discovered reference radio, and (iii) measurements, made by a user wireless terminal, of the power of each of the downlink control channel radio signals transmitted by each of the reference radios to generate an estimate of the location of the user wireless terminal.

Abstract: A technique for the estimation of the location of a wireless terminal. The disclosed technique considers boundaries that are represented in a geographic information system (GIS) database in combination with a first, unenhanced estimate of location, in order to generate a second, enhanced estimate of location. To do so, the technique generates a point cloud based on the first estimate of location. At least some of the data points in the point cloud are then removed, depending on their positions in relation to certain boundaries stored in the GIS database, such as the exterior walls of buildings and other structures. By considering these boundaries, the disclosed technique can increase the probability that the estimated location is within an area that is occupiable by a person, thereby providing a more reasonable result. The technique generates the second, enhanced estimate based on the distribution of the remaining data points.

Abstract: A technique for developing a stack-effect compensation model that is representative of a structure, such as a particular building, and of generating an estimate of the elevation of a wireless terminal inside the structure by using the model. The technique includes estimating information related to one or more neutral pressure planes within the structure, at which the difference between the indoor barometric pressure and the outdoor barometric pressure is essentially zero. The technique leverages pressure and temperature measurements that are provided by one or more wireless terminals that are regularly present in the building. The stack-effect compensation model includes a parameter that represents, for each of a plurality of uncompensated elevations, the height of the particular uncompensated elevation above a neutral pressure plane. The location engine uses this height-information parameter from the compensation model, in order to develop the estimate of the elevation of the wireless terminal.

Abstract: A data-processing system that estimates the particular building floors that are present in a particular building based on differences in barometric pressure measurements provided by wireless terminals. A wireless terminal can report one or more barometric pressure measurements at the ground floor of a building and one or more pressure measurements at one or more above- or below-ground floors, or “non-ground” floors. The data-processing system receives the pressure measurements and uses the difference in the pressure measurements to determine a change in height between the ground floor and a non-ground floor. When the system collects enough data from many wireless terminals, it is able to identify the floors that are present in a particular building and their non-ground heights. Then, when an estimate of the vertical location of a wireless terminal is provided to a location application, the system is able to provide the estimate in terms of building floor.
