METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A BEST TECHNIQUE TO USE WHEN LOCATING A NODE

摘要

A method and apparatus for determining a best technique (algorithm and/or parameters) to use when locating a node (104) is provided herein. In particular, reference nodes (105) are provided that not only know their own locations, but also test various algorithms and parameters by estimating their locations as if they were blind nodes. The reference nodes then evaluate these various techniques against the user defined criteria for the best technique. Recommendations as to the best technique to utilize are then made to other nodes within the system.
