A method and apparatus for extending the coverage of geolocation to indoor locations through cooperative geolocation. The method includes establishing an ad-hoc wireless network comprising a plurality of devices including a first device. The method includes receiving, at the first device, position information from the plurality of devices and determining a physical location of the first device based on the received position information. In an embodiment, the position information is transmitted in response to a request by the first device. In an embodiment, the position information may include a time of arrival of the request received by each of the plurality of devices; and the time of arrival may be associated with a GNSS time. In an embodiment, the ad-hoc wireless network may be a Wi-Fi network, which is associated with one of the IEEE 802.11 standards. |
