ABSTRACT:
A first estimated location of a target terminal to be estimated in its location is obtained based on information derived from radio signals for location estimation and also locations of anchor terminals. Then, on the basis of the first estimated location thus obtained, estimated distances are calculated while expected values are calculated based on information required for location estimation to compare the estimated distances with the expected-values. Depending on the comparison result, one or more anchor terminals are selected as nonuse terminals. On the basis of information required for location estimation derived from radio signals sent by the anchor terminals other than the selected nonuse terminals and also on the locations of the anchor terminals except the nonuse terminals, a second estimated location of the target terminal is obtained.
