    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a physical location of access points in a wireless network that include a plurality of access points, the plurality of access points in the wireless network including anchor access points with respective known locations and unanchored access points without respective known locations, may include: a first plurality of unanchored access points neighboring the anchor access points receiving known-location information from the anchor access points, performing range measurements to the anchor access points to determine their respective locations in the wireless network, thereby becoming pseudo-anchor access points; a second plurality of unanchored access points in communicative contact with a plurality of the pseudo-anchor points receiving the determined-location information from the pseudo-anchor access points, performing range measurements to the pseudo-anchor access points to determine their respective locations in the wireless network, thereby becoming pseudo-anchor access points.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving geolocation services, like GPS, using network device measurements. For example, a plurality of access points (APs) or other network devices may be implemented in a network environment and constructed with a GPS chip. Range measurements can be collected from these network devices and incorporated with the GPS locations using various methods described herein to improve the overall location determination of these devices.
