Crowdsourcing method to detect broken WiFi indoor locationing model

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for detecting breaks in a wireless network data model. An exemplary method includes determining neighboring access points from scans of network access points in a space. Each neighboring access point occurs together in a scan of a particular level of the space. Wireless data is received from a plurality of mobile devices moving through a space. A set of all access points for the space is identified based on the wireless data. A ratio is derived based on a difference between the neighboring access points and the set of all access points. The ratio represents a percentage of missing access points for the particular level of the space.

1. A method, comprising:
determining a set of neighboring access points from scans of network access points in a space, wherein each neighboring access point occurs together in a scan of a particular level of the space; receiving wireless data from a plurality of mobile devices moving through the space; identifying a set of all access points for the space based on the wireless data; and deriving, using a processor, a ratio based on the size of a difference between the set of neighboring access points and the set of all access points, the ratio representing a percentage of missing access points for the particular level of the space.
