Claim 0:
1. A method for accelerating estimation of a radio model of a first access point, the method comprising:
determining a presence of the first access point in a radio environment;
determining that the first access point is a beamforming node and obtaining information regarding one or more of a plurality of beams, wherein the plurality of beams are transmitted by the first access point; and
estimating the radio model of the first access point based at least upon: (i) at least some of the information regarding the one or more of the beams transmitted by the first access point, (ii) signal propagation characteristics of one or more existing access points in the radio environment as represented by respective radio models of the one or more existing access points 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.
