Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of estimating a location of a mobile device. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to communicate a message between an access point and a mobile device, the message including a group identifier to indicate the access point belongs to a group of two or more access points having local coordinates measured with respect to a common origin point.
Claims25
An apparatus including circuitry to cause a first station to:
- receive a Location Configuration Information (LCI) report from a second station, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the second station with respect to an origin point;
- and
- estimate a location of said first station based at least in part on the location error.
An apparatus including circuitry to cause an access point (AP) to:
- receive a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request from a mobile device;
- and
- transmit to the mobile device a LCI report in response to the LCI request, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the AP with respect to an origin point.
A computer program product comprising one or more tangible computer readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor logic, enable the at least one processor logic to:
- receive at a first station a Location Configuration Information (LCI) report from a second station, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the second station with respect to an origin point;
- and
- estimate a location of said first station based at least in part on the location error.
The computer program product claim of 14, wherein the LCI report comprises latitude information, longitude information, and altitude information.
A computer program product comprising one or more tangible computer readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor logic, enable the at least one processor logic to:
- receive at an Access Point (AP) a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request from a mobile;
- and
- transmit to the mobile device a LCI report in response to the LCI request, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the AP with respect to an origin point.
The computer program product claim of 17, wherein the LCI report comprises latitude information, longitude information, and altitude information.
A method to be performed by a first station, the method comprising:
- receiving a Location Configuration Information (LCI) report from a second station, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the second station with respect to an origin point;
- and
- estimating a location of said first station based at least in part on the location error.
A method to be performed by an access point (AP), the method comprising:
- receiving a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request from a mobile device;
- and
- transmitting to the mobile device a LCI report in response to the LCI request, the LCI report including a relative location error subelement, which is configured to indicate a location error of the AP with respect to an origin point.
