Abstract
To conserve energy associated with bi-directional communications with network devices (e.g., access point, router, long-range (LoRa) access point, edge device, etc.), and to limit data/information processing resources associated with such bi-directional communications, a user device (e.g., a data collection device, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an end device, a low-power device, a sensor, etc.) may determine its location (e.g., geolocation, etc.). The user device may use mapping information that identifies each network device within a geographical area to identify locations of network devices within a communication range of the user device. The user device may determine its own location based on the locations of the network devices within the communication range.
