Abstract

See full text

Improved methods, systems, and apparatus are described for determining a location using chaining triangulation for one of a plurality of nodes in a wireless node network having a server. A first of the nodes determines a location of the first node, and transmits the location of the first node to the server. A second of the nodes determines a location of the second node, and transmits the location of the second node to the server. The server receives the locations of the first and second notes, and infers a location of a third of the nodes. Thereafter, the server triangulates the location of the one node based upon a determined distance of the one node to each of the locations of the first and second nodes and a determined distance of the one node to the inferred location of the third node.
