Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for locating a user device in an indoor environment such as a building based at least on a building topology model using one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Certain aspects of the techniques include detecting a presence of a user device in communication with an IoT device in a building, wherein the IoT device is associated with device attributes. The building is identified based at least on a building topology model that is associated with the building and the device attributes. The location of the IoT device is determined based at least on the building topology model. The user device is located relative to the location of the IoT device.
