    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for determining a location of a device. In an example, a group of access points may be selected. Time-of-flight (ToF) measurements relative to the device may be received from each of the access points in the group. A respective distance of the device from each access point may be determined using the ToF measurements and a baseToF value. Location coordinates of the device and a new baseToF value may be determined based on the determined distances and the location coordinates of each access point in the group.

    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.

    Abstract: In an example, a method for correcting time-of-flight measurements includes receiving a plurality of time-of-flight measurements and determining whether the time-of-flight measurements relate to a strong signal client, a weak signal client, or a preferred signal client. If the time-of-flight measurements relate to a strong signal client or a weak signal client, the method determines whether the time-of-flight measurements constitute two distinct distributions. If the time-of-flight measurements constitute two distinct distributions, a mean value for each distribution is determined. If the mean values differ by a predetermined time delay attributable to automatic gain control processing, the time-of-flight measurements corresponding to the distribution having the lower mean value are used. If the mean values differ by less than the predetermined time delay attributable to automatic gain control processing, the time-of-flight measurements corresponding to both distributions are used.

    Abstract: A method of determining the location of a client device includes selecting sets of four access points (APs) from APs that can communicate with a client device. Each set of four APs forms a quadrilateral that contains the location of the client device. The method further includes selecting a first quadrilateral from quadrilaterals formed by the sets of four APs based on a policy, and, with the first quadrilateral, executing a time-of-flight (ToF)-based distance estimation process to determine the location of the client device.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to an access point. One example apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is to instruct the transceiver to transmit a first wake up message to a client device at a first transmission rate via a wireless network. The processor, in response to receiving a sleep message from the client device via the transceiver, is to instruct the transceiver to transmit a second wake up message to the client device at a second transmission rate that is greater than the first transmission rate.
