An example method includes identifying a link that is one of a plurality of links of a wireless locating system, the link being defined by at least a reference signal source, a first receiver unit, and a second receiver unit; determining a reliability metric for signal transmission via a link based on first link data, the link data describing first reference signal events for the link; and modifying the reliability metric based on second link data describing second reference signal events for the link, wherein modifying the reliability metric includes: determining whether the second link data is consistent with the first link data; adjusting the reliability metric using a first function when the second link data is consistent with the first link data; and adjusting the reliability metric using a second function different than the first function when the second link data is inconsistent with the second link data.
