Abstract
A device may receive multiple location estimates, with uncertainties, for the user device based on determining that the uncertainty is greater than or equal to the uncertainty threshold, and may store the location estimate, the multiple location estimates, and the uncertainties in a data structure. The device may identify a greatest uncertainty of the uncertainties, and may remove, from the data structure, location estimates and uncertainties associated with the greatest uncertainty to generate a set of location estimates and a set of uncertainties. The device may calculate a set of weights based on the set of uncertainties, and may calculate a set of weighted location estimates based on the set of weights and the set of location estimates. The device may calculate a weighted average location of the user device based on the set of weighted location estimates, and may provide the weighted average location to the user device.
