Abstract

Examples of location determination of access points in a network are disclosed. In an example, a provisional proximity matrix comprising a measured distance between each pair of Access Points (APs) of a plurality of APs in a network is generated. Missing distances between one or more pairs of APs in the provisional proximity matrix are filled to generate a complete proximity matrix. A provisional deployment location map is generated for the plurality of APs based on the complete proximity matrix. Relative angles between paths connecting each pair of APs of the plurality of APs in the provisional deployment location map is determined. The filled distances in the complete proximity matrix are revised based on the relative angles to generate a corrected proximity matrix. A complete deployment location map for the plurality of APs is generated based on the corrected proximity matrix.
