Abstract
A method includes transmitting a first electromagnetic signal from a first node to a second node and receiving a second electromagnetic signal from the second node at the first node. The method also includes repeating the transmission of the first electromagnetic signal and the reception of the second electromagnetic signal multiple times. The method further includes identifying, based on the repeated transmissions and receptions, a time-of-flight associated with a travel time for one of the electromagnetic signals to travel between the first and second nodes. The time-of-flight is indicative of a distance between the nodes.
