Abstract: Accurate position capability can be quickly provided using a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). When associated with a WLAN, a wireless device can quickly determine its relative and/or coordinate position based on information provided by an access point in the WLAN. Before a wireless device disassociates with the access point, the WLAN can periodically provide time, location, and decoded GPS data to the wireless device. In this manner, the wireless device can significantly reduce the time to acquire the necessary GPS satellite data (i.e. on the order if seconds instead of minutes) to determine its coordinate position.

Abstract: An indoor positioning system determines the location of a mobile device by comparing measured signal strengths to a database determined via offline calibration. Automated maintenance and repair of the database are facilitated by accurately characterizing indoor radio signal propagation. Systems and methods for updating a signal strength database are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method of discovering a new or moved wireless access point (AP) within an indoor environment involves flagging one of the wireless APs as the new or moved AP; determining a location of the new or moved AP using information from at least one of an installation log and an AP location solver; determining transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths of signals transmitted from calibration reference points (RPs) to the AP using a spatially-dependent path-loss model; and adding the transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths to the signal strength database.

Abstract: Systems and methods to generate safe zones and safe routes associated with a device are disclosed. These safe zones and safe routes can be used to map complicated location behavior into location behavior scores that can be applied systematically to tracking and authentication applications.

Abstract: GPS receivers obtain GPS navigation data from acquired GPS satellites and determine a position of the GPS receiver. However, the GPS receivers may not always be in view of the GPS satellites or may receive GPS signals that are too weak to decode. Moreover, assisted GPS techniques rely on the ability of the GPS receivers to connect to auxiliary channels to receive navigation data, which might not always be possible. Functionality for powerline-aided GPS can be implemented to provide the navigation data, with varying levels of accuracy via a powerline network, when the GPS satellites are not in view of the GPS receiver. Moreover, the GPS receiver can use the navigation data to determine the position of the GPS receiver and/or to synchronize a local clock in the GPS receiver. Receiving the navigation data can ensure that the GPS receiver has a fast time to first fix.
