Abstract

A provisioning application can provide a location of an access point device so that the access point device can request provisioning of a transmit power level. The provisioning application can receive information from a user via user interface associated with the provisioning application, such as one or more location parameters, a height location, and/or an address associated with an access point device. The provisioning application provides a user with prompts and/or instructions for obtaining the information and for using an interact tool so as to indicate a boundary associated with the access point device. The one or more location parameters are updated or determined based on the boundary such that the location of the access point device can be accurately determined and transmitted to the access point device so as to be used by the access point device in receiving a transmission power level.

Claims (63)

1 . A method for providing one or more location parameters associated with an access point device of a network comprising:

determining an initial location associated with the client device;

providing a visual representation of the initial location to a user;

providing an interact tool for the user to indicate a new location and a boundary associated with the access point device on the visual representation;

receiving the new location and the boundary based on user interaction with the interact tool of the visual representation;

receiving a height location associated with the access point device; and

providing one or more location parameters to the access point device for obtaining a transmission power level, wherein the one or more location parameters are based on the new location, the boundary, and the height location.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the initial location comprises:

receiving an address based on an address prompt, wherein at least one of:

the address is pre-filled; and

the address is filled in by the user.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the initial location is based on one or more coordinates received from a GPS receiver of the client device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the height location indicates any of a height above sea level, a height above ground, a depth below sea level, a depth below ground, a vertical uncertainty, or any combination thereof.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of:

determining that the new location is within a location threshold of the initial location; and

determining that the client device is within a proximity threshold of the access point device.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing the interact tool to indicate a height location of the access point device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

discovering one or more other access point devices of the network; and

providing the one or more location parameters to the one or more other access point devices for obtaining a transmission power level.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for providing one or more location parameters associated with an access point device of a network, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:

determining an initial location associated with the client device;

providing a visual representation of the initial location to a user;

providing an interact tool for the user to indicate a new location and a boundary associated with the access point device on the visual representation;

receiving the new location and the boundary based on user interaction with the interact tool of the visual representation;

receiving a height location associated with the access point device; and

providing one or more location parameters to the access point device for obtaining a transmission power level, wherein the one or more location parameters are based on the new location, the boundary, and the height location.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein determining the initial location comprises receiving an address from the user based on an address prompt, wherein at least one of:

the address is pre-filled; and

the address is filled in by the user.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein determining the initial location is based on one or more coordinates received from a GPS receiver of the client device.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the height location indicates any of a height above sea level, a height above ground, a depth below sea level, a depth below ground, a vertical uncertainty, or any combination thereof.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to perform the one or more operations further comprising at least one of:

determining that the new location is within a location threshold of the initial location; and

determining that the client device is within a proximity threshold of the access point device.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to perform the one or more operations further comprising:

providing the interact tool to indicate a height location of the access point device.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to perform the one or more operations further comprising:

discovering one or more other access point devices of the network; and

providing the one or more location parameters to the one or more other access point devices for obtaining a transmission power level.

15 . A network device for determining a location of an access point device of a network comprising:

a memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions stored on the memory to cause the network device to:

determine an initial location associated with the network device;

provide a visual representation of the initial location to a user;

provide an interact tool for the user to indicate a new location and a boundary associated with the access point device on the visual representation;

receive the new location and the boundary based on user interaction with the interact tool of the visual representation;

receive a height location associated with the access point device; and

provide one or more location parameters to the access point device for obtaining a transmission power level, wherein the one or more location parameters are based on the new location, the boundary, and the height location.

16 . The network device of claim 15 , wherein at least one of:

the determining the initial location comprises receiving an address from the user based on an address prompt, wherein at least one of:

the address is pre-filled; and

the address is filled in by the user; and

the determining the initial location is based on one or more coordinates received from a GPS receiver of the network device.

17 . The network device of claim 15 , wherein the height location indicates any of a height above sea level, a height above ground, a depth below sea level, a depth below ground, a vertical uncertainty, or any combination thereof.

18 . The network device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions to cause the network device to at least one of:

determine that the new location is within a location threshold of the initial location; and

determine that the network device is within a proximity threshold of the access point device.

19 . The network device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions to cause the network device to provide the interact tool to indicate a height location of the access point device.

20 . The network device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions to cause the network device to:

discover one or more other access point devices of the network; and

provide the one or more location parameters to the one or more other access point devices for obtaining a transmission power level.
