METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CHARACTERIZING AND AFFECTING MOBILE DEVICE LOCATION ACCURACY AND/OR UNCERTAINTY

摘要

Techniques are provided, which may be implemented via various methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture. For example, an electronic device may obtain an estimated location of a mobile device, determine a quality of a geometric distribution of transmitting devices capable of transmitting wireless signals to the mobile device at the estimated location, and assign an uncertainty to the estimated location. In certain implementations, an electronic device may further determine an adapted transmission setting for a transmitting device and transmit a corresponding message to the transmitting device. In certain implementations, an electronic device may identify adapted assistance data for the mobile device and transmit a corresponding message to one or more other electronic devices.

1. A method comprising, with a computing platform:
obtaining an estimated location of a mobile device; determining a quality of a geometric distribution of a plurality of transmitting devices capable of transmitting wireless signals to said mobile device at said estimated location; assigning an uncertainty to said estimated location based, at least in part, on said quality of said geometric distribution; in response to said uncertainty being less than a threshold uncertainty, determining an adapted transmission setting for at least one of said plurality of transmitting devices; and transmitting a message to said at least one of said plurality of transmitting devices indicating said adapted transmission setting.
