First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of determining location information, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a modeling signal from each of a plurality of detectors;
receiving at least one of the transmitted modeling signals at each of plurality of detectors;
determining at least one characteristic of each of the received modeling signals; and
automatically determining a signal propagation model for an area near each of the detectors based on the determined at least one characteristic of each of the received modeling signals, the determined propagation model indicating an effect on a signal received within the corresponding area.

Abstract
An exemplary method of determining location information includes transmitting a modeling signal from each of a plurality of detectors. Each of the plurality of detectors receives at least one of the transmitted modeling signals from the other detectors. At least one characteristic of each of the received modeling signals is determined. A signal propagation model for an area near each of the detectors is automatically determined based on the characteristic of each of the received modeling signals. The determined propagation model indicates an effect on a signal received within the corresponding area.
