Patent ID: 7711360

Claim:
A method comprising: providing to a computer a first set of location data using a first coordinate system that corresponds to a first building, said location data indicative of respective locations of objects within the first building; providing to the computer a second set of location data using a second coordinate system that corresponds to a second building, said second coordinate system different from said first coordinate system, said second building different from said first building, said second set of location data indicative of respective locations of objects within the second building; generating a third set of location data from said first and second sets of location data by: converting, via the computer, the first set of location data from the first coordinate system to a third coordinate system by: computing Euler angles for the first coordinate system relative to the third coordinate system by translating the first coordinate system so that it is co-located with the third coordinate system using vector subtraction; and transforming the location data indicative of respective locations of objects within the first building from the first coordinate system to the third coordinate system by multiplying one or more coordinate vectors associated with the first coordinate system by a first rotation operator associated with the first coordinate system and converting, via the computer, the second set of location data from the second coordinate system to the third coordinate system by: computing Euler angles for the second coordinate system relative to the third coordinate system by translating the second coordinate system so that it is co-located with the third coordinate system using vector subtraction; and transforming the location data indicative of respective locations of objects within the second building from the second coordinate system to the third coordinate system by multiplying one or more coordinate vectors associated with the second coordinate system by a second rotation operator associated with the first coordinate system, the third coordinate system being different from the first and second coordinate systems, said third set of location data indicative of respective locations of said objects within the first building and within the second building in relation to said third coordinate system, wherein: the first set of location data includes data indicative of a location in the first building of at least one source of radio frequency (RF) signals; and the second set of location data includes data indicative of a location in the second building of at least one source of RF signals, further comprising: using the third set of location data as an input to an RF planning function; and adjusting a transmit power level of the at least one RF source based on the third set of location data.
