Abstract

A method of determining a position of at least one transceiver node comprises, anchor node by anchor node, transmitting respective positioning frames suitable for reception by a transceiver node and by the other anchor nodes. The transceiver node receives the positioning frames transmitted by the anchor nodes and ascertains respective times of reception for each. A solver stage determines the coordinates (x, y, z) of the respective transceiver node and the time tof transmission of the first positioning frame by an anchor node of first rank in the positioning sequence by numerically solving a non-linear system of at least five equations.
