ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the location of a node within a communication system is provided herein. During operation, reference nodes (105) having known locations are utilized to locate “blind” nodes (104) whose location is to be determined. More particularly, a blind node (104) wishing to determine its location will measure a plurality of path losses between itself and a plurality of reference nodes (105). These reference nodes' locations will then be mathematically weighted by the path loss between these reference nodes (105) and the blind node (104). The location of the blind node (104) is a sum of the mathematically weighted reference nodes' locations.
