Abstract: A system is disclosed that enables the estimation of the location of a wireless terminal in a wireless network. The illustrative embodiment works without requiring modifications to be made to the wireless terminal. Furthermore, the hardware of some embodiments of the present invention can be inexpensively deployed indoors. Some embodiments of the present invention are, therefore, ideally suited for use with legacy indoor systems. The system of the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, in some embodiments, uses an offline process and an online process for location estimation. The described system, however, can be used with other techniques for location estimation.
