DETERMINING RELATIVE SPATIAL INFORMATION BETWEEN VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly containing computer-executable instructions for determining relative spatial information between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, wherein execution of the instructions by a processing circuit causes the processing circuit to execute the steps of:
- monitoring a communication channel at the first vehicle;
receiving on the communication channel at the first vehicle a communication signal originating from the second vehicle at a fixed power level, wherein the communication signal as received defines a current communication signal at a received power level; and
calculating a relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, wherein input to the calculating includes an actual or estimated transmitted power level and the received power level.

Abstract
A method for determining relative spatial information between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, the method including monitoring a communication channel at the first vehicle and receiving a current communication signal sent by the second vehicle on the communication channel. The current communication signal is received at a received power level. A relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle is calculated. Input to the calculating includes an actual or estimated transmitted power level, and the received power level.
