Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for anonymous localization. The location of a mobile device can be determined based on received signal strength (RSS) from one or more access points (APs) and a radio map. A radio map can be generated by measuring RSS at a set of fingerprints, which are a finite set of reference points within the area to be mapped.
