Patent ID: 8669902

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: an interface; and location determination logic coupled with the interface; wherein the location determination logic receives via the interface data representative of measured signal strengths of an associated wireless device measured by a plurality of associated receiving devices in operative communication with the apparatus and being disposed at known locations; wherein the location determination logic determines an estimated location of the associated wireless device based on i) the data representative of the measured signal strengths measured by the plurality of associated receiving devices disposed at the known locations, and ii) a predetermined a priori transmit power for the associated wireless device; wherein the location determination logic determines an estimated transmit power for the associated wireless device based on i) the data representative of the measured signal strengths measured by the plurality of associated receiving devices disposed at the known locations, and ii) the estimated location; and wherein the location determination logic determines a revised estimated location for the associated wireless device based on i) the data representative of the measured signal strengths, and ii) the estimated transmit power for the wireless device.
