Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to determining the location of a device using hybrid localization techniques. For example, a first technique such as trilateration may be used to determine an approximate location of the device. An error associated with the approximate location may also be implemented to increase the likelihood of locating the device upon applying a second localization technique, such as fingerprinting. Fingerprinting, when applied to the approximate location determined from trilateration, may determine the location of the device, or a more precise location than that determined from trilateration, such that reduced power consumption by the device may be achieved without sacrificing location accuracy.
