The invention relates to opportunistic wireless mesh networks which operate under random networking conditions. Such random network conditions typically limit the effectiveness of prior art wireless mesh networks, and more particularly to those supporting low power devices within the wireless network. Random network conditions include: random power supply, random node distribution, random node mobility, high mobility of nodes, random wireless link fluctuations, and random application traffic.

A method for determining the location of partition walls within a building uses a wirelessly interconnected network of nodes to determine relative spatial positions of selected nodes using (i) received signal strength indication (RSSI) values and time of flight (ToF) values, both indicative of a distance of separation between two communicating nodes. A first map of the network topology is derived from the RSSI values and a second map of the network topology is derived from the ToF values. The RSSI values are affected by building partition walls whereas the ToF values are relatively unaffected by partition walls. A comparison of the first and second maps is used to determine the location of partition walls within the building.
