    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for using a location token to locate a mobile device in a mapped environment. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to identifying an AP in the environment using an AP location token. By finding a map from a map vendor which has a substantially identical map token, the AP and the map may be matched together. Once the AP is matched to the map, its exact location will be known. The location of a mobile device may be determined in relation to the AP's location. The same process may be used to identify the location of several APs on a map and thereby identify the location of the mobile device relative to the APs.

    Abstract: Embodiments for performing access point position determination using crowd sourcing are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a range report request is received, by at least one mobile device, from a network entity for determining a position of a plurality of access points (APs). The at least one mobile device performs range measurements on each of the plurality of APs at different locations. A range report associated with the range measurements performed on each of the plurality of APs is sent to the network entity by the at least one mobile device.
