Abstract
A method of identifying a target mobile transceiver in a communications network that includes multiple unknown mobile transceivers. In this aspect of the method, a location system interrogates the target mobile transceiver multiple times in an interrogation pattern to cause the target mobile transceiver to transmit a signal in response to each interrogation. The location system monitors signals transmitted by all mobile transceivers in the network, and identifies the target mobile transceiver as the mobile transceiver whose pattern of response most closely matches the interrogation pattern.
