Methods, Systems And Computer Program Products For Identifying Endpoints In A Network

Methods for identifying in range endpoints in a network are provided. The methods includes providing a map including endpoints in the network, the endpoints including target endpoints, out of range endpoints and non-out of range endpoints; positioning a grid over the map including the endpoints in the network, the grid including a plurality of subsections each having a defined radius, locating a target endpoint on the map and in one of the subsections of the grid; and identifying a plurality of endpoints within subsections of the grid within a defined range of the target endpoint.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method for identifying in range endpoints in a network, the method comprising: providing a map including endpoints in the network, the endpoints including target endpoints, out of range endpoints and non-out of range endpoints; positioning a grid over the map including the endpoints in the network, the grid including a plurality of subsections each having a defined radius, locating a target endpoint on the map and in one of the subsections of the grid; and identifying a plurality of endpoints within subsections of the grid within a defined range of the target endpoint, wherein at least one of the providing, positioning, locating and identifying are performed by at least one processor.

  • 10. A system for identifying in range endpoints in a network, the system comprising a plurality of endpoints and a processor configured to: provide a map including endpoints in the network, the endpoints including target endpoints, out of range endpoints and non-out of range endpoints; position a grid over the map including the endpoints in the network, the grid including a plurality of subsections each having a defined radius, locate a target endpoint on the map and in one of the subsections of the grid; and identify a plurality of endpoints within subsections of the grid within a defined range of the target endpoint.

  • 19. A computer program product for identifying in range endpoints in a network, the computer program product comprising: a non-transitory computer readable-storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in said medium, the computer readable program code comprising: computer readable program code to provide a map including endpoints in the network, the endpoints including target endpoints, out of range endpoints and non-out of range endpoints; computer readable program code to position a grid over the map including the endpoints in the network, the grid including a plurality of subsections each having a defined radius, computer readable program code to locate a target endpoint on the map and in one of the subsections of the grid; and computer readable program code to identify a plurality of endpoints within subsections of the grid within a defined range of the target endpoint.
