Abstract
A method and a location service component for providing an estimate of a location related to a device are disclosed. The location service component receives a request from a client for the estimate of the location and estimates the location based on a predictive model to obtain an initial set of data items. Each data item includes a respective estimate of the location and a set of identities representing one or more further devices in a neighborhood of the device. The location service component obtains a respective location for each of the further devices based on the set of identities. The location service component removes data items that are inconsistent with the respective location for the further devices to obtain a pruned set of data items. The location service component sends, estimates of the pruned set of data items to the client. A corresponding computer program and a computer program carrier are also disclosed.
