Abstract:
Described herein are techniques for determining a location of a disconnected device. In an example, a method includes instructing a first access point to sniff a wireless channel for probe request packets from disconnected devices, and instructing the first access point to send a distance-probing packet to a disconnected device after receiving a probe request packet from the disconnected device. The method further includes receiving, from the first access point, a MAC address of the disconnected device determined from the received probe request packet. After receiving the MAC address from the first access point, a group of access points is instructed to send distance-probing packets to the disconnected device. The method further includes receiving, from the first access point and the group of access points, time-of-flight measurements associated with the disconnected device. A location of the disconnected device can be determined using the time-of-flight measurements.

Claim (Index 35):
The method of  claim 34 , wherein the sub-group of APs includes at least three APs, and wherein the method includes determining the location of the disconnected device using the distance between the at least three APs and the disconnected device, the ToF measurements, and physical locations of the at least three APs via multilateration.
