Automated position estimation based on coordinating access points

A network device comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a processor configured to execute instructions and cause the processor to:
• receive a first location measurement associated with a first measurement variant and a second location measurement associated with a second measurement variant from a first AP;
• receive a third location measurement associated with the first measurement variant and a fourth location measurement associated with the second measurement variant from a second AP;
• determine a first weight associated with the first location measurement, a second weight associated with the second location measurement, a third weight associated with the third location measurement, and a fourth weight associated with the fourth location measurement;
• determine a first location associated with the first AP and a second location associated with the second AP based on the first weight, the second weight, the third weight, and the fourth weight;
• determine a confidence of the first location based on a comparison of the first location measurement and the second location measurement;
• identify a trigger to perform additional location measurements of the first AP and the second AP;
• and
• perform the additional location measurements of the first AP and the second AP based on the trigger.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• receive a first location measurement associated with a first measurement variant and a second location measurement associated with a second measurement variant from a first AP;
• receive a third location measurement associated with the first measurement variant and a fourth location measurement associated with the second measurement variant from a second AP;
• determine a first weight associated with the first location measurement, a second weight associated with the second location measurement, a third weight associated with the third location measurement, and a fourth weight associated with the fourth location measurement;
• determine a first location associated with the first AP and a second location associated with the second AP based on the first weight, the second weight, the third weight, and the fourth weight;
• determine a confidence of the first location based on a comparison of the first location measurement and the second location measurement;
• identify a trigger to perform additional location measurements of the first AP and the second AP;
• and
• perform the additional location measurements of the first AP and the second AP based on the trigger.
