  • Method for estimating signal strengths
    Patent number: 6680924
    Abstract: A method for estimating signal strengths for a wireless environment. The method includes measuring a strength of a first radio signal at a plurality of locations in the environment, wherein the first radio signal is transmitted from a radio transmitter at a first location, estimating the strength of the first radio signal at each of the plurality of locations, and estimating a strength of a second radio signal at the plurality of locations, wherein the second radio signal corresponds to a signal transmitted from one of the plurality of locations, based on a difference between the measured signal strength and the estimated signal strength for the first radio signal.
