Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to associate wireless beacon positions within a building with physical position coordinates. Client device positions within the building are computed based upon the physical position coordinates. The client device positions are aggregated to form a client position database.

Abstract: A method to support client device position discovery within a building includes ascribing building position coordinates to beacons within the building. The building position coordinates are converted to physical position coordinates. The physical position coordinates are augmented with at least one additional parameter that supports position resolution. A client device communicates with accessed beacons positioned within the building. A beacon location database characterizing the physical locations of the accessed beacons is also accessed. The physical location of the client device is computed based upon the physical locations of the accessed beacons.
