1. An apparatus, including:
- a path distance module associated with a mobile station (MS) in a wireless packet-carrying network to calculate a first distance (R1) between the MS and a first base station (BS1) using a first path loss value (L1), wherein L1 comprises a value of a reduction in signal strength of a signal as transmitted by the BS1 and as received by the MS and to calculate a second distance (R2) between the MS and a second base station (BS2) using a second path loss value (L2), wherein L2 comprises a value of a reduction in signal strength of a signal as transmitted by the BS2 and as received by the MS; and
a triangulation module coupled to the path distance module to triangulate a position of the MS relative to a grid using R1 and R2.

Abstract
Embodiments herein may use first and second path loss values L1 and L2 to calculate first and second distances R1 and R2 between the MS and first and second base stations BS1 and BS2, respectively, in a wireless packet-carrying network. L1 and L2 may comprise values of a reduction in signal strength of signals as transmitted by the BS1 and the BS2 and as received by the MS. The MS may triangulate its position relative to a grid using R1 and R2. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
