Abstract:
Embodiments may automatically place access points (APs) on floor plans by incorporating a number of conventions for identifying types and locations of APs. These conventions may include the name of APs, MAC addresses, lat/lon information, and feature analysis or image recognition techniques for matching visual cues if the AP locations are marked on images. Some embodiment may conduct several other operations to optimize placement of APs. These optimization operations may reduce the number of steps needed to place APs on floor plans, and/or may reduce extraneous and superfluous information from the floor plans that may clutter the annotated floor plan map.

Abstract:
Method, device, computer program product, and apparatus for performing and processing mobile device positioning are described. A mobile device can request vertical positioning assistance. The mobile device can receive vertical positioning assistance from a transmitter classified for vertical positioning assistance. The mobile device can receive optimized assistance data created in response to a particular positioning request. The optimized assistance data may be optimized for vertical position, horizontal positioning, or both usage types. The mobile device can receive usage type classifications directly from a transmitter. A server can receive and determine a request is a vertical positioning request. Vertical positioning can include determining one or more of: an altitude, floor, level, or any combination thereof, within the environment. Assistance data associated with a plurality of transmitters, vertical positioning assistance data from a transmitter classified for providing vertical assistance is selected and provided as vertical positioning assistance data.
