Abstract

Example methods and apparatus to determine a base station location are disclosed herein and include aggregating retrieved base-station signal records based on signal identifiers and geographic locations, and differentiating the aggregated signal records and prevent errors caused by base-station signal reuse by assigning a first reuse identifier to a first one of the base-station signal records and a second reuse identifier to a second one of the base-station signal records when (1) the first and second ones of the base-station signal records exhibit a same signal identifier and (2) a distance between a first location associated with the first one of the base-station signal records and a second location associated with the second one of the base-station signal records satisfies a threshold.
