18. In a mobile-appliance communication system with plural base stations, a method of positioning location sensors for determining the location of a mobile-appliance within a predetermined accuracy, the improvement comprising the steps of:
-
positioning the location determining sensors at some but not all of the plural base stations based on an estimated accuracy of the location calculated by the location determining sensors; and positioning the location determining sensors at some but not all of the plural base stations based on the costs of the location determination sensors.
