Claim 17:
18. A method for automatic generation of access point locations comprising:
transmitting a request from a computing device to a plurality of access points in a network prompting each access point of the plurality of access points to determine a distance between each pair of access points of the plurality of access points, wherein the determination of the distance between each pair of access points includes measurement of time of flight of signals transmitted between each pair of access points;
receiving at the computing device the determined distances between each pair of access points of the plurality of access points;
generating a proximity matrix containing the determined distances between each pair of access points of the plurality of access points;
solving the proximity matrix to automatically generate a set of locations for the plurality of access points; and
orienting the generated set of locations for the plurality of access points based on known locations of one or more anchor points in a subset of the plurality of access points.
