Self Surveying Portable Sensor Nodes

Abstract

A self-surveying range includes a base station and a plurality of nodes. Each node has a transmitter, a receiver and a processor and is capable of transmitting a signal encoded with a node identifier, the transmission time. The node can also receive transmitted signals from other nodes. The base station also has a transmitter, a receiver and a processor. The base station is capable of determining its location, transmitting an encoded signal with the transmission time and receiving transmitted signals from said plurality of nodes at a definite time. The base station processor can determine the location of each node from the base station location, the node transmission time and the definite reception time. There is further provided a method for establishing a self-surveying range.
