Methods and apparatus to determine a base station location |
摘要 |
Example methods and apparatus to determine a base station location are disclosed herein and include determining which signals are transmitted from a first base station by identifying a first set of signals having a first signal identifier, identifying a first signal in the first set of signals having a first relative highest signal quality value, identifying a first location associated with the first signal, identifying a second set of signals having a second signal identifier, identifying a second signal in the second set of signals having a second relative highest signal quality value, identifying a second location associated with the second signal, determining a first distance between the first location and the second location, comparing the first distance to a first threshold distance, associating the first signal and the second signal with the first base station when the first distance satisfies the first threshold distance, and estimating a location of the first base station based on at least one of the first location or the second location. |

1. A computer-implemented method to estimate a location of a base station comprising:
determining which signals are transmitted from a first base station by:
identifying a first set of signals having a first signal identifier;identifying a first signal in the first set of signals having a first relative highest signal quality value;identifying a first location associated with the first signal;identifying a second set of signals having a second signal identifier;identifying a second signal in the second set of signals having a second relative highest signal quality value;identifying a second location associated with the second signal;determining a first distance between the first location and the second location;comparing the first distance to a first threshold distance; andassociating the first signal and the second signal with the first base station when the first distance satisfies the first threshold distance; and estimating a location of the first base station based on at least one of the first location or the second location. |
