Abstract
A network management system (NMS) automatically determines locations of deployed access points (APs) in a wireless network. The system identifies clusters of APs, wherein each AP in a cluster is a member of at least one robust quad, and wherein each robust quad in the cluster has three APs in common with another robust quad in the cluster. The NMS identifies one of the plurality of clusters as a global cluster and the remaining plurality of clusters as local clusters. The NMS determines coordinates of each node in the global cluster based on the coordinates of the anchor APs in the global coordinate system. For each local cluster, the NMS transforms the coordinates of each AP from the respective local coordinate system to the global coordinate system.
