Claim 15:
16. A method for accelerating estimation of a radio model of a beamforming access point, the method comprising:
following estimation of respective radio models of one or more existing access points within a radio environment, detecting that the beamforming access point has been added to or has been relocated within the radio environment;
obtaining information regarding one or more of a plurality of beams that have been transmitted by the beamforming access point; and
estimating the radio model of the beamforming access point based at least upon: (i) at least some of the information regarding one or more of the beams transmitted by the beamforming access point, (ii) signal propagation characteristics of the one or more existing access points in the radio environment, and (iii) weighted contributions of the respective radio models of the one or more existing access points, wherein the weighted contributions are based upon one or more weighting factors, and wherein the one or more weighting factors include measurements of similarity between shapes and sizes of the respective radio models of the one or more existing access points.
