ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the path loss model of an object within a wireless communication system is provided herein. During operation, a path loss model for a node is generated based on path loss values and corresponding numbers of neighbors of the said node. The path loss model is used to determine a relationship between path loss and distance. With this relationship established, distances to known-located nodes may be obtained by obtaining a path loss to the known-located node. From these distances, a node can then be located.
