Claims10
A method of identifying a location of a first node in a network having a plurality of nodes comprising:
- receiving a location of a region that is guaranteed to contain the first node, wherein the receiving of a location of a region that is guaranteed to contain the first node comprises receiving a region of a second node that was extended by a measured range value rij, wherein the second node is within the transmission range of the first node, and wherein rij is based on a range between first and second nodes;
- determining a region of residence of the first node based on the region that is guaranteed to contain the first node, wherein the region of residence has a size;
- and,
- iteratively minimizing the size of the region of residence of the first node.
