Abstract
Techniques for access point (AP) based location computation are disclosed. A target wireless AP, communicatively coupled to a wireless station (STA), is identified. One or more location buddy APs, relating to the target AP, are identified based on the physical locations of the location buddy APs and the target AP. It is determined that a first location buddy AP, of the one or more location buddy APs, is communicatively coupled to the STA, and in response a location of the STA is determined using the target AP.
