Abstract
Techniques described herein may be used to locate a user device within a wireless network. A first user device may send, to a location server, a request to locate a second user device. The location server may determine a general location of the second user device based on a wireless network service, a Global Positioning System (GPS) service, etc. The location server may collect sensor information (e.g., Radio Frequency (RF) signal strength, temperature, pressure, etc.) from the first user device and/or the second user device. The location server may analyze, compare, and otherwise process the sensor information to generate and send, to the first user device, instructions for locating the second user device.
