Abstract

We face the problem of estimating the real coverage area of a certain (mobile or static) object in a wireless scenario by considering as input data just the location of the devices that can communicate with that object.We propose and evaluate different algorithms to show that estimating the real coverage area of an object without assuming a disk of fixed radius, is not only possible but also simple and efficient.

Keywords: coverage area estimation location based services
