Station network triangulation positioning system

Abstract

This paper examines the triangulation problem approached from the perspective of a fixed stations network. An initial state A of n sensors (SRs) and m transmitters (TRs).might change from its initial state to a new state B and m +1 transmitters The fixed stations /sensors should recognize the new state B and find the new transmitters that entered in the area by finding with triangulation procedures the positions of the new transmitters. Cases of misinterpretation of data and accuracy problems when more than three lines intersect are explored. It is also shown that when there is a high number of transmitters and a lot of readings the data analysis procedure becomes more complex and software architecture needs adaptation.
