1. A positioning device coupled to a network, comprising:
- a receiver to receive position signals from a plurality of navigation beacons, said receiver to include a receiver code generator;
a transponder to receive and transmit communication signals, said transponder to use said receiver code generator as a transmitter code generator;
a processor coupled to the receiver and transponder; and
a memory coupled to the processor to store one or more instruction sequences, said instruction sequences to cause the positioning device to transmit said communication signals between said positioning device and another positioning device wherein the receiver code generator of the positioning device generates a unique transmitter code such that the transponder transmits a unique code for the positioning device within the network regardless of a position of the transponder of the positioning device and a position of the another positioning device.

Abstract
A network, network device and method is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting communication signals from a first network node to a second network node, where the first and second network nodes comprise a network and each include a receiver portion and a transponder portion. The method further comprises receiving, by the first and second network nodes, position signals from a plurality of navigation beacons, and generating transmitter codes for the transponder portions using local code generators of the receiver portions.
