Abstract: A wireless computing device may scan a frequency set. A first group of base stations may use the frequencies in the frequency set. Based on information relating to one or more base stations in the first group of base stations, the wireless computing device may estimate its location. The wireless computing device may further select a frequency subset of the frequency set. A second group of base stations may use the frequencies of the frequency subset. Based on information relating to one or more base stations in the second group of base stations, the wireless computing device may again estimate its location. If the two estimated locations are within a threshold distance of one another, the wireless computing device may perform, during a subsequent location-estimating operation, an additional frequency scan using the frequency subset.
