Abstract
Disclosed system and method enable a location-unaware device to know its approximate location by wirelessly near-field coupling it to a geo-proximate location-aware device such as a Global Navigation Satellite System—(GNSS)-enabled mobile phone. The geo-location data are conveyed in accordance with a predefined signaling protocol. Request and response mechanisms within the devices take the form of predefined data packets that convey geo-location and the devices' unique identification (ID) information.
