A system and method for computing the location of a mobile terminal (102) in a wireless communications network (100), such as an ad-hoc wireless communications network. In particular, the system and method estimates the location of a mobile terminal (102) in a wireless communications network (100), such as an ad-hoc terrestrial wireless communications network, based on estimated distances to a plurality of terrestrial reference terminals (104) using error minimizing techniques, such as those based on Gauss's postulate. In doing so, the system and method estimate a respective distance from the mobile terminal (102) from the reference terminals (104), calculate a respective simulated pattern (C1-C5), such as a sphere or circle, about each of the respective reference terminals (104) based on the respective distance from the terminal 102) to each respective reference terminal (104) and the respective locations of the respective reference terminals (104), estimates a location at which each of the simulated patterns (C1-C5) intersect each other, and identifies the estimated location as representing the location of the terminal (102).

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de calcul de l'emplacement d'un terminal mobile (102) dans un réseau de communication sans fil (100), tel qu'un réseau de communication sans fil ad hoc. Plus particulièrement, ce système et ce procédé permettent d'estimer l'emplacement d'un terminal mobile (102) dans un réseau de communication sans fil (100), tel qu'un réseau de communication sans fil terrestre ad hoc, sur la base de distances estimées jusqu'à une pluralité de terminaux de référence terrestres (104), et au moyen de techniques de réduction des erreurs telles que celles fondées sur le postulat de Gauss. Ainsi, ce système et ce procédé permettent d'estimer une distance respective entre le terminal mobile (102) et les terminaux de référence (104), de calculer un motif simulé respectif (C1-C5), tel qu'une sphère ou un cercle, pour chacun des terminaux de référence respectifs (104) selon la distance respective entre le terminal (102) et chaque terminal de référence respectif (104) et selon les emplacements respectifs des terminaux de référence respectifs (104), d'estimer un emplacement d'intersection pour chacun des motifs simulés (C1-C5), et d'identifier l'emplacement estimé comme représentant l'emplacement du terminal (102).
