Abstract
Crowdsourced information may be used to associate APs with a venue and creating a venue-specific information file based on this association. This can enable the mobile device to download a single venue information file for a venue in which the mobile device may stay for an extended period of time, which may alleviate or eliminate the need to download additional AP location information while at the venue.
