Abstract

Examples herein include methods and systems for signal diffusion modeling for a discretized map of signal. An example method includes receiving data related to RSSI for a wireless AP for a plurality of locations of an area, associating the data to a diagram of the area based on the plurality of locations of the area, determining a given partition of the diagram in which a magnitude of a given RSSI associated with the given partition is greater than or equal to a highest magnitude of a given RSSI associated with any partitions of the plurality of partitions, assigning a location of the wireless AP to be within the given partition, and applying a constraint such that a magnitude of a given RSSI associated with other respective partitions is less than or equal to a highest magnitude of a given RSSI associated with neighboring partitions of the other respective partitions.
