Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for processing signal strength information from a radio frequency transmitter and for determining signal coverage for a wireless device. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving signal strength information indicating a power for the radio frequency transmitter at one or more first locations; receiving location information representing a geographic location for one or more second locations; dividing the received signal strength information into one or more subsets of signal strength information; determining, for each of the one or more subsets, a local mean such that the local mean represents an average for one of the one or more subsets; and estimating a location for the local mean based on the received location information.
