Abstract

Systems and method for location determination in a distributed system are disclosed. In one aspect, the distributed system operates at frequencies where obstacles and distance may preclude direct connection between a system node and a remote mobile device. The system may determine the location of the remote mobile device using an intermediate device and thus be a location system. Specifically, a position of the intermediate device relative to the system node is calculated and a position of the remote mobile device relative to the intermediate device is calculated. The two positions may be combined to determine a position of the remote mobile device relative to the system node. Once the location of the remote mobile device is known relative to the system node, a variety of location services become available.
