/Access Point Positioning
Abstract

Disclosed are a method, an access point (AP) and a computer program product for determining location of the AP. A location information of a communication device wirelessly coupled to the AP may be received, the location information including a first location uncertainty with a first confidence level. A distance between the AP and the communication device may be determined based at least on a measured signal strength of a signal received from the communication device. Location information of the AP may be determined based at least on the distance and the location information of the communication device. A second location uncertainty with a second confidence level may be determined based on the distance and the first location uncertainty as at least a portion of the location information of the AP.
