Abstract
Various methods for modeling timing relationships between clocks are provided. One example method includes identifying a link that is one of a plurality of links within a wireless locating system and receiving link data describing a reference signal event for the link. The example method may also include determining a reliability metric for the link based on the link data and comparing the reliability metric to a threshold reliability metric to determine whether the link is a reliable link. Further, the example method may include adding the link to a collection of reliable links for the wireless locating system, and generating a model describing a timing relationship between respective clocks of each of a plurality of receiver units in the wireless locating system based on link data for each of the reliable links. Related systems and apparatuses are also provided.
