1. An electronic device, comprising:
a sensor;
a short-range radio-frequency transceiver configured to receive advertisement packets from a remote device, wherein the advertisement packets include remote device motion context; and
control circuitry configured to:
measure local motion context with the sensor; and
measure received signal strength indicator values associated with the received advertisement packets;
compare the remote motion context and the local motion context; and
ignore erroneous received signal strength indicator values from among the measured signal strength indicator values based on the comparison of the remote motion context and the local motion context.
