Abstract

Location may be determined in a way that does not primarily rely on jam-able or spoof-able techniques. For example, an apparatus may have multiple location-determining units, each unit having a different level of trust. One unit may have a first (e.g., highest) level of trust, a second such unit may have a second (e.g., medium) level of trust lower than the first level of trust, and a third such unit may have a third (e.g., lowest) level of trust lower than the first and second levels of trust. The apparatus may generally prefer to determine its location using the highest level of trust unit that is available at any given time.
