Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, estimating a location of a mobile device based on a first wireless signal transmitted by one of a first group of wireless anchors of a first location service operating within a first area. Ranges between the mobile device and a group of wireless reference devices are determined responsive to the location indicating the mobile device is proximate to a predetermined transition region. A handover requirement is identified according to the range information and, responsive to this requirement, the mobile device is configured to receive a second wireless signal transmitted one of a second group of wireless anchors of a second location service operating within a second area. The location of the mobile device may be determined according to the second wireless signal, without reference to the first wireless signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.
