The disclosure provides various methods and apparatus useful for mapping wireless nodes using a drone and aligning the body of the drone with an antenna of the wireless node. A method includes mapping, by an apparatus, a space including one or more locations of one or more wireless nodes, determining whether the apparatus is in proximity to a first wireless node of the one or more wireless nodes, determining an orientation of an antenna of the first wireless node, and in response to determining that the apparatus is in proximity to the first wireless node and determining the orientation of the antenna of the first wireless node, adjusting a six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) orientation of the apparatus based on the determined orientation of the antenna of the first wireless node. The apparatus may be an autonomous drone.
