Abstract

In a general aspect, a method for determining a location of motion detected by wireless communication devices in a wireless communication network includes obtaining a set of motion indicator values associated with a time frame. The set of motion indicator values indicates motion detected from wireless links during the time frame, each motion indicator value associated with a respective wireless link. The method also includes identifying a subset of the wireless links based on a magnitude of their respective motion indicator values relative to other motion indicator values in the set of motion indicator values. The method additionally includes generating count values for the wireless communication devices connected to the wireless communication network during the time frame. The method further includes generating a probability vector based on the count values and comprising values for the connected wireless communication devices.
