  • Method and system of incorporating passive-based proximity data for position determination
    Patent number: 9226114
    Abstract: Systems and methods establish passive-based proximity regions to determine position of a device and an area. Example embodiments may be utilized in a wireless network where passive-based proximity regions are established for one or more access points in a wireless network. When a wireless device enters or moves through such a passive-based proximity region, one or more resources associated with the wireless network or wireless device may recognize the presence of the passive-based region and utilize this information to determine positioning data for the wireless device.
