    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing and using signals transmitted by a device, e.g., a low cost beacon transmitter device, to facilitate making location determinations with regard to the transmitting device and/or making a decision of when or how to use location information generated based on received signals are described. In accordance with some features the processing performed on the received signal strength measurements is based on whether or not the device from which the signals are received is in motion. The size of a sample period used as a processing window when determining device location is based, in some embodiments, on the rate of motion. When and/or how to use location determinations are performed is also based on motion in some embodiments. Machine learning updates of location determination parameters, based on received signals, are disabled when the signals are from devices determined to be in motion.

    Abstract: A network management system (NMS) automatically determines locations of deployed access points (APs) in a wireless network. The system identifies clusters of APs, wherein each AP in a cluster is a member of at least one robust quad, and wherein each robust quad in the cluster has three APs in common with another robust quad in the cluster. The NMS identifies one of the plurality of clusters as a gxlobal cluster and the remaining plurality of clusters as local clusters. The NMS determines coordinates of each node in the global cluster based on the coordinates of the anchor APs in the global coordinate system. For each local cluster, the NMS transforms the coordinates of each AP from the respective local coordinate system to the global coordinate system.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for orchestration of measurements between a plurality of devices in a wireless network. In an example, a computing system configured to orchestrate round-trip time (RTT) measurements in a network of a plurality of wireless devices comprises one or more processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: generate a network graph of the plurality of wireless devices in which each wireless device pair of a plurality of wireless device pairs of the network graph is connected by an edge assigned to an identifier, wherein each edge of at least two adjacent edges is assigned a different identifier; and orchestrate the RTT measurements such that RTT measurements between wireless device pairs connected by edges assigned to a same identifier are performed in parallel.

    Abstract: Techniques are described by which a network management system (NMS) is configured to generate and monitor an RSSI-based proximity zone for a wireless network using a user interface (UI). The NMS may generate a UI comprising UI elements representing access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site; receive, at the user interface, an indication of a user input selecting one or more UI elements representing selected AP devices; establish a proximity zone for each of the selected AP devices based on an RSSI threshold value; receive network data comprising proximity information of a client device relative to the selected AP devices; generate, based on proximity assessments using the proximity information and the RSSI threshold value of the proximity zone, one or more proximity events indicating the client device relation to the proximity zone; and invoke, based on the proximity events, one or more actions.
