Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to providing assistance information to a mobile station for performing position estimation operations.
Claims80
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, fix information records associated with position estimations of a first plurality of mobile stations, wherein each received fix information record is associated with a corresponding mobile station position estimation and comprises measurements of one or more one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- computing, for each of the received fix information records, a corresponding fix score;
- and
- determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to store one or more fix information records.
A server, comprising:
- a communications interface to receive fix information records associated with position estimations of a first plurality of mobile stations, wherein each received fix information record is associated with a corresponding mobile station position estimation and comprises measurements of one or more one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- and
- a processor coupled to the communications interface, wherein the processor is configured to:
- compute, for each of the received fix information records, a corresponding fix score;
- and
- determine, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to store one or more fix information records.
A server, comprising:
- communications interface means, the communications interface means to receive fix information records associated with position estimations of a first plurality of mobile stations, wherein each received fix information record is associated with a corresponding mobile station position estimation and comprises measurements of one or more one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- means for computing, for each of the received fix information records, a corresponding fix score;
- and
- means for determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to store one or more fix information records.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, fix information records associated with position estimations of a first plurality of mobile stations, wherein each received fix information record is associated with a corresponding mobile station position estimation and comprises measurements of one or more one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- computing, for each of the received fix information records, a corresponding fix score;
- and
- determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to store one or more fix information records.
A method, comprising:
- generating, at a mobile station (MS), one or more fix information records, wherein each fix information record is associated with a corresponding position estimation of the MS and comprises measurements of one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- compute a distinct score associated with each fix information record in a subset of the generated fix information records;
- and
- determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to transmit at least one fix information record in the subset.
A mobile station (MS), comprising:
- a receiver to receive one or more wireless signals from one or more wireless transmitters;
- a processor coupled to the receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
- generate one or more fix information records, wherein each fix information record is associated with a corresponding position estimation of the MS and comprises measurements of one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- compute a distinct score associated with each fix information record in a subset of the generated fix information records;
- and
- determine, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to transmit at least one fix information record in the subset.
A mobile station (MS), comprising:
- receiving means for receiving one or more wireless signals from one or more wireless transmitters;
- means for generating one or more fix information records coupled to the receiving means, wherein each generated fix information record is associated with a corresponding position estimation of the MS and comprises measurements of one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- means for computing a distinct score associated with each fix information record in a subset of the generated fix information records;
- and
- means for determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to transmit at least one fix information record in the subset.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor perform steps in a method, the steps comprising:
- generating, at a mobile station (MS), one or more fix information records, wherein each fix information record is associated with a corresponding position estimation of the MS and comprises measurements of one or more wireless transmitter signals;
- compute a distinct score associated with each fix information record in a subset of the generated fix information records;
- and
- determining, based, at least in part, on the corresponding fix scores, whether to transmit at least one fix information record in the subset.
