Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a server device may obtain a channel frequency of a channel of a transmission-reception point (TRP), a positioning procedure for a user device being performed based on one or more positioning reference signals from the TRP over the channel. The server device may determine a first frequency-scaled filtering distance by applying a frequency-scaled filtering distance model based on the channel frequency, a nominal frequency of the TRP, a first filtering distance, and a decay parameter of the TRP. In an aspect, the first frequency-scaled filtering distance indicates that, based on one or more recorded positions of one or more access points (APs) being within the first frequency-scaled filtering distance from the TRP, the one or more recorded positions of the one or more APs are usable in the positioning procedure for the user device.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for providing location to a device without explicitly identifying the device are provided. An example method may include transmitting, for a location server, a location request including a first state token associated with the device, wherein the location request does not include an identifier associated with the device. The example method may further include receiving, from the location server based on the location request, a location response including a second state token associated with the device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may receive, from a server, a set of priority lists for localization of the mobile device, where the set of priority lists comprises, for each context of a plurality of contexts, a corresponding prioritized list of localization methods for the mobile device to use, during a journey, for a respective context. The mobile device may determine an applicable context from the plurality of contexts based on a course location of the mobile device along the journey. The mobile device may perform localization method in accordance with a priority list, from the set of priority lists, corresponding to the applicable context.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, a certified location service enables a mobile device to access a location-based service when a determined location meets a location requirement and an overall confidence score for the determined location exceeds a confidence threshold. A data package is received including identifiers of beacons observed by the mobile device, and a location of the mobile device is determined based on a calculated location of one or more of the beacons. An overall confidence score for the determined location is calculated based on one or more individual confidence scores for the one or more beacons used in determining the location or composite confidence scores for types of the one or more beacons. The determined location and the overall confidence score are provided to one or more provider servers that allow the mobile device to access a location-based service based thereon.

Abstract: In various embodiments, techniques are provided for determining and associating multiple locations with beacons, and estimating a location of an electronic device based on beacons having multiple associated locations.

Abstract: In various embodiments, techniques are provided for determining and associating multiple locations with beacons, and estimating a location of an electronic device based on beacons having multiple associated locations. To determine multiple locations of a beacon, observations are grouped into observation clusters, a probability is calculated that each observation cluster accurately describes the beacon, multiple observation clusters are selected as representative of the beacon based on the calculated probabilities, characteristics are derived for the beacon (including multiple locations) based on the selected multiple observation clusters, and at least the multiple locations for the beacon are stored in a reference database.
