Abstract
A method and system includes a first radio establishing a group of radios that has a first plurality of radios and the first radio and a second radio not within the group. The first radio generates a first communication signal. The first communication signal includes a first radio identifier and first position data. The first radio receives the first communication signal, determines second position data of the first radio and compares the first position data and the second position data to obtain a distance. The first radio or the second radio broadcasts the first radio identifier and the first position data to the group when the distance is within a predetermined distance in response to comparing.

A method comprising:
- establishing a group of radios comprising a first plurality of radios and a first radio;
- generating a first communication signal at a second radio not within the group, the first communication signal comprising a first radio identifier and first position data;
- receiving the first communication signal at the first radio;
- determining second position data of the first radio;
- comparing, by the first radio, the first position data and the second position data to obtain a distance;
- and
- when the distance is within a predetermined distance in response to comparing, broadcasting the first radio identifier and the first position data to the group.
A system comprising:
- a first radio establishing a group of radios comprising a first plurality of radios and the first radio;
- a second radio not within the group generating a first communication signal, the first communication signal comprising a first] radio identifier and first position data;
- the first radio receiving the first communication signal, determining second position data of the first radio and comparing the first position data and the second position data to obtain a distance;
- and
- the first radio or the second radio broadcasting the first radio identifier and the first position data to the group when the distance is within a predetermined distance in response to comparing.
