Detecting mobile nodes to improve radio-based positioning performance

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a computing device or a server device to perform operations comprising:

• making a determination (i) that a speed of a computing device is at or above a threshold speed, and (ii) that at least one condition is met, the at least one condition indicating that a radio node is moving substantially along with the computing device, wherein making the determination that the at least one condition is met comprises determining that the computing device is connected to the radio node and that the computing device has been connected to the radio node for at least a respective duration of time;
• and
• in response to making the determination, deeming the radio node to be a mobile node, thereby enabling exclusion of the radio node for positioning purposes.

A method comprising:

• making a determination, by one or more processors, (i) that a speed of a computing device is at or above a threshold speed, and (ii) that at least one condition is met, the at least one condition indicating that a radio node is moving substantially along with the computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to perform signal measurements respectively for one or more radio signal parameters in association with the radio node, and wherein making the determination that the at least one condition is met comprises determining that the signal measurements associated with the radio node remain substantially consistent for at least a respective duration of time;
• and
• in response to making the determination, deeming, by the one or more processors, the radio node to be a mobile node, thereby enabling exclusion of the radio node for positioning purposes.

A method comprising:

• making a determination, by one or more processors, (i) that a speed of a computing device is at or above a threshold speed, and (ii) that at least one condition is met, the at least one condition indicating that a radio node is moving substantially along with the computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to perform measurements to determine a received signal strength associated with the radio node, and wherein making the determination that the at least one condition is met comprises determining that the received signal strength associated with the radio node is at or above a threshold signal strength for at least a respective duration of time;
• and
• in response to making the determination, deeming, by the one or more processors, the radio node to be a mobile node, thereby enabling exclusion of the radio node for positioning purposes.
