Patent ID: 7567822

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving first absolute geographic location data from each of two or more first wireless access points in a wireless network, the first absolute geographic location data from each first wireless access point indicating an absolute geographic location of the first wireless access point; receiving relative geographic location data from each of one or more of the first wireless access points or one or more second wireless access points in the wireless network, the relative geographic location data indicating a relative location of each of one or more of the first wireless access points and the second wireless access points with respect to each other; determining second absolute geographic location data indicating an absolute geographic location of each of one or more of the second wireless access points based on the first absolute geographic location data and the relative geographic location data; receiving antenna orientation data from each of one or more of the first wireless access points or the second wireless access points, the antenna orientation data indicating orientation of one or more antennae of the first or second wireless access point; and generating a radio frequency (RF) model representing RF coverage of one or more of the first or second wireless access points based at least in part on the first absolute geographic location data, the second absolute geographic location data, and the antenna orientation data.
