Original Abstract Submitted

A management system may analyze signal strengths of signals received, from a plurality of devices, by a first device located in a first location of an enclosed structure. The management system may determine, based on analyzing the signal strengths, that a first subset of devices are located outside of the enclosed structure and that a second subset of devices are located inside of the structure. The second subset of devices include a second device and a third device that are stationary. The management system may determine that the first signal strength, of the second device, has increased by an attenuation value and that the second signal strength, of the third device, has decreased by the attenuation value. The management system may determine that the first device has been relocated based on the first signal strength increasing by the attenuation value and the second signal strength decreasing by the attenuation value.
