Abstract

A wireless communication device (104) for providing guidance about surrounding conditions and a communication server (1000) for receiving data feeds from cooperative wireless devices are provided. The wireless communication device (104) comprises a device discovery mechanism (214, 302) to identify second devices (116-150) in a vicinity (106-114) of the device, a processor (306) to determine a coverage capability for each area surrounding the first device (104), and a display (208, 310) to represent the coverage capability of each area surrounding the first device. The communication server (1000) comprises a network interface (1002) to receive one or more data feeds associated with a location of a first device (104), a processor (1004) to associate each data feed with an area adjacent to the first device, and a display (1008) to represent surrounding cells surrounding the first device. One or more surrounding cells (1102-1118) show a data feed of the location of the first device (104), and each data feed is provided by a second device (116-150) located in the corresponding surrounding cell.
