Embodiments of the invention address how trilateration processes are affected by physical placement and sub-optimal selection of peer devices (PDs) used to obtain a location of a mobile computing device. Embodiments of the invention describe processes for selecting nearest PDs over further PDs, as received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements are more reliablei.e., said nearest PDs provide more accurate distance measurements while improving the probability of finding more intersection points. Embodiments of the invention further describe selecting a physical spread of PDs to help increase the number of intersection points while helping distinction/resolution of the location of the mobile device in both the x (longitude) and the y (latitude) directions. Embodiments of the invention further enhance trilateration processes by utilizing dampening values for calculated location poll data.
