Abstract: In some implementations, a location of a mobile device can be determined by calculating an average of the locations of wireless signal transmitters that have transmitted signals received by the mobile device. In some implementations, locations are weighted with coefficients and the average is a weighted average. In some implementations, the locations of the wireless signal transmitters are determined based on identification information encoded in the wireless signals received by the mobile device. The identification information can include an identifier for a wireless signal transmitter. The identification information can include characteristics of the received wireless signal that can be used to identify wireless signal transmitters. In some implementations, identification information from one signal can be combined with identification information from another signal to determine a location of a wireless transmitter.

Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems of location estimation using multiple wireless access gateways are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a mobile device can scan and detect multiple wireless access gateways. The mobile device can determine an initial estimate of distance between the mobile device and each wireless access gateway. The mobile device can receive, from a server, location data of the detected wireless access gateways. The location data can include an estimated location of each wireless access gateway, an uncertainty of the estimated location, and a reach of each wireless access gateway. The mobile device can assign a weight to each estimated location using the uncertainty, the reach, and the initial estimate. The mobile device can estimate the location of the mobile device using the weighted locations.

Abstract: A mobile device can store a set of first CDMA identifiers including, for example, system identifiers, network identifiers, or zone identifiers. Each first CDMA identifier can be associated with a first geographic location. The mobile device can determine a current location by matching a current first CDMA identifier with a stored first CDMA identifier. If a user desires a current location that has finer granularity, the mobile device can retrieve a set of second CDMA identifiers including, for example, base station identifiers. Each second CDMA identifiers can be associated with a second geographic location that has a finer granularity than that of the first geographic location. The mobile device can match a current second CDMA identifier from the retrieved second CDMA identifiers and designate the second geographic location associated with the matching second CDMA identifier as the current location that has the finer granularity.
