Selecting nodes close to another node in a network using location information for the nodes

摘要

A network includes a plurality of nodes. A set of candidate nodes from the plurality of nodes is selected based on location information for the candidate nodes and a first node also in the network. A clustering algorithm is applied to the location information for the candidate nodes and the first node, and a subset of the set of candidate nodes closest to the first node is identified based on the results of applying the clustering algorithm.
