Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for estimating, based on data collected from multiple types of data sources, the locations of cell towers. A first source is ranked relative to a second source based on the associated accuracy of each source with respect to estimating the location of a cell tower. Data collected from the higher-ranking source is used to identify estimated locations for cell towers from which such data has been collected. Data collected from the lower-ranking source is thereafter used to identify estimated locations for cell towers from which such data has been collected, to the extent that an estimated location for the cell tower has not already been identified via the data collected from the higher-ranking source. In an example method, the higher-ranking source is associated with RF Layer 3 data and/or messages, and the lower-ranking source is associated with RF Layer 1 data and/or messages.
