Systems and methods for determining locations of access points

A method for determining location-related data for a plurality of access points located in an area in communication with a network, the method comprising:

• identifying, from among a plurality of access points in a network, a first access point associated with a geographical area;
• determining first location-related data for the first access point within the geographical area;
• determining that a second access point has at least a threshold number of neighbor access points, the second access point being defined as a non-edge access point and interior within at least one of a plurality of edge access point within the network based on the threshold number of neighbor access points;
• and
• determining second location-related data for the second access point of the plurality of access points within the geographical area based on exchanging of ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data being based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• identifying, from among a plurality of access points in a network, a first access point associated with a geographical area;
• determining first location-related data for the first access point within the geographical area;
• determining that a second access point has at least a threshold number of neighbor access points, the second access point being defined as a non-edge access point and interior within at least one of a plurality of edge access point within the network based on the threshold number of neighbor access points;
• and
• determining second location-related data for the second access point of the plurality of access points within the geographical area based on exchanging of ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data being based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements.
