Patent ID: 8831594

Claim:
A method for identifying a misconfigured wireless access point used for determining a position of a mobile station, the method comprising: receiving a position of at least one mobile station; receiving wireless signal model measurements based at least in part on packets exchanged between the at least one mobile station and a plurality of wireless access points; determining angles of arrival at the at least one mobile station of signals from the plurality of wireless access points based on packets received from the plurality of wireless access points; receiving information associated with the plurality of wireless access points used in determining the position of the at least one mobile station; comparing the wireless signal model measurements with expected wireless signal model values to identify differences between the expected wireless signal model values and the received wireless signal model measurements that exceed a predetermined threshold; identifying the misconfigured wireless access point based at least in part on the differences between the expected wireless signal model values and the received wireless signal model measurements that exceed the predetermined threshold; and isolating a position of the misconfigured wireless access point based at least in part on at least one of the angles of arrival of signals from the plurality of wireless access points.
