Access point signal estimation

A computing device for access point signal estimation, the computing device comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• and
• a data storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to:
• receive a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from a first access point, the first RSSI being observed at a first frequency;
• receive a second RSSI from a second access point, the second RSSI being observed at the first frequency;
• receive a third RSSI from the second access point, the third RSSI being observed at a second frequency that is different from the first frequency;
• and
• generate, using the first RSSI, second RSSI, and third RSSI, an estimated RSSI in the second frequency for the first access point.

A method for access point signal estimation, implemented by a hardware processor, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a first access point and in a first frequency, transmission data from a particular access point;
• determining, based on the transmission data, a first pathloss value indicating a difference in transmit power of the particular access point and a received signal strength observed by the first access point;
• receiving, at the first access point, a second pathloss value associated with the first frequency, the second pathloss value indicating a difference in transmit power of the particular access point and a received signal strength observed by a second access point in the first frequency;
• receiving, at the first access point;
• a third pathloss value associated with a second frequency that is different from the first frequency, the third pathloss value indicating a difference in transmit power of the particular access point and a received signal strength observed by the second access point in the second frequency;
• and
• determining, using the first pathloss value, second pathloss value, and third pathloss value, an estimated pathloss between the first access point and the particular access point in the second frequency.
