Method and system for performing trilateration for fixed infrastructure nodes (FIN) based on enhanced location based information
First Claim
1. A method of performing trilateration for a fixed infrastructure node (FIN) using enhanced location based information, comprising:
- receiving, via a processor of a FIN device, a plurality of inputs from a plurality of devices, the received plurality of inputs including two or more of;
a global position system (GPS) data input, a network provided location based service (LBS) data input, a mobile device LBS data input, a dead reckoning data input collected during an initial positioning of the FIN, and an external device data input;
using the received plurality of inputs to generate an initial positional fix;
setting a current waypoint of the FIN based the initial positional fix;
using the received plurality of inputs to generate updated location information for the FIN; and
updating the current waypoint based on the generated updated location information.

Abstract
Method, systems and devices for performing trilateration for a fixed infrastructure node (FIN) using enhanced location based information may include receiving a plurality of inputs (e.g., waypoints) from a plurality of devices, using the received plurality of inputs to generate an initial positional fix, and setting a current waypoint of the FIN based the initial positional fix. The FIN may receive additional inputs, and use the plurality of inputs to generate updated (more accurate) location information for the FIN. The FIN may update its current waypoint based on the generated updated location information. The FIN trilateration operation may also include applying three or four of the received inputs (e.g., waypoints) kalman filter, and reporting/using the output of the kalman filter as the device'"'"'s current waypoint or location.
