CROWDSOURCING BASED ON BASE STATION ALMANAC QUALITY

摘要

Systems, apparatus and methods for a mobile device and a base station almanac server to throttle crowdsourcing information are presented. The crowdsourcing information may be used to improve a location of a base station in a base station almanac. A base station almanac is received from a base station almanac server. Crowdsourcing information for at least one base station is collected, including identifying an identifier for each base station and determining a position estimate of the mobile device for each base station. A crowdsourcing throttle is determined based on the base station almanac and the crowdsourcing information is sent to the base station almanac server based on the crowdsourcing throttle.
