System and Method for Generating Signal Coverage Information from Client Metrics

摘要

Embodiments may include receiving signal strength information reported by multiple client communication devices. The signal strength information reported by a given client device may indicate one or more locations detected by the given client device. The signal strength information may also indicate, for each location, a respective measure of signal strength for a communication signal detected at that location by the client device. Embodiments may also include generating a signal strength map for a region based on the client-reported signal strength information. Generating the signal strength map may include, for each location of multiple locations within the region, generating an expected signal strength value for that location based on an evaluation of the signal strength information received for that location. The generation of the signal strength map for the region may also be based on the expected signal strength values for the locations within the region.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving signal strength information reported by multiple client communication devices; wherein the signal strength information reported by a given client device indicates: one or more locations detected by the given client device, and for each location a respective measure of signal strength for a communication signal detected at that location by the client device; and generating a signal strength map for a region based on the client-reported signal strength information, wherein the generating comprises:
for each location of multiple locations within the region, generating an expected signal strength value for that location based on an evaluation of the signal strength information received for that location; andgenerating the signal strength map for the region based on the expected signal strength values for the locations within the region.
