Abstract
A method includes determining a plurality of target device distances between a plurality of vehicle sensor nodes of a vehicle and the target device, identifying a reference target device distance from among the plurality of target device distances based on a magnitude of the plurality of target device distances, and determining a threshold comparison distance based on the reference target device distance, a reference intranode distance, and a predetermined error distance. The method includes assigning the plurality of vehicle sensor nodes to one of a reflecting vehicle sensor node set and a non-reflecting vehicle sensor node set based on a comparison between the threshold comparison distance and the plurality of target device distances and determining a positional characteristic of the target device based on one or more target device distances associated with one or more vehicle sensor nodes from among the non-reflecting vehicle sensor node set.
