ABSTRACT:
Techniques are generally described for determining locations of a number of communication devices in a network. A method for determining locations of a number of communication devices in a network may include one or more of solving an objective function to determine a first set of locations of one or more of the number of communication devices. The method may further include re-solving either the objective function or a modified variant of the objective function, to determine a second set of locations of the communication devices; comparing the first set of locations with the second set of locations; and determining the locations of the communication devices based at least in part on the comparing.
