Determination of altitude of access point

An access point (AP) comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions to cause the at least one processor to:
• obtain an air pressure associated with the AP, a location associated with the AP, a temperature associated with the AP, and a humidity associated with the AP;
• calibrate a gravitational acceleration at the AP based on a gravitational acceleration on an equatorial surface and the location associated with the AP;
• calibrate a Molar mass of air at the AP based on the humidity associated with the AP and the temperature associated with the AP;
• calibrate the temperature associated with the AP based on a temperature at sea level and the location of the AP;
• and
• determine an altitude of the AP based on the calibrated gravitational acceleration at the AP, the calibrated Molar mass of air at the AP, the calibrated temperature associated with the AP, and the air pressure associated with the AP.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which, when executed by an access point (AP), cause the AP to:

• obtain an air pressure associated with the AP, a location associated with the AP, a temperature associated with the AP, and a humidity associated with the AP;
• calibrate a gravitational acceleration at the AP based on a gravitational acceleration on an equatorial surface and the location associated with the AP;
• calibrate a Molar mass of air at the AP based on the humidity associated with the AP and the temperature associated with the AP;
• calibrate the temperature associated with the AP based on a temperature at sea level and the location of the AP;
• and
• determine an altitude of the AP based on the calibrated gravitational acceleration at the AP, the calibrated Molar mass of air at the AP, the calibrated temperature associated with the AP, and the air pressure associated with the AP.
