An example system includes a processor configurable to identify, — 702 from a first device, a second device transmitting wireless signals to the first device. The processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a transmission time of the wireless signals received by the first device from the second device. The processor is configurable to identify, from the first device, a third device transmitting wireless signals to the second device. The 704 processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a transmission time of the wireless signals received by the second device from the third device. The processor is configurable to derive a location status of the first device based on the identification of the second and third devices and the transmission times of the wireless signals received by the first and second 706 devices from the second and third devices, respectively. — 708 = (54) Establishing a communication channel V Assessing a current state of the computing deuce 1-1 .4 0 ei 01 0 ei --.... 1-1 0 ei V Assessing a communication state of the computing device v Deriving the location and/or location status of the computing device C Figure 7
