Abstract
Operations include estimating a signal strength of a wireless signal as if received by a target wireless device. One or more relationships between detected signal strength values, measured channel utilization values, and/or actual channel utilization values are determined. The estimation is made based on applying detected signal strength values received at other wireless devices, measured channel utilization values at other wireless devices, and/or actual channel utilization values at other wireless devices to the relationships.
