Abstract:
A method comprises using a first directional transceiver (14A) to determine a first angle (α1) between a first vector (V1) from the first directional transceiver to a second directional transceiver (14B) and a second vector (V2) from the first directional transceiver to a third directional transceiver (14C), using the second directional transceiver to determine a second angle (α2) between a third vector (V3) from the second directional transceiver to the first directional transceiver and a fourth vector (V4) from the second directional transceiver to the third directional transceiver, calculating a location, relative to a local coordinate system, of the third directional transceiver using the first and second angles and locations in the local coordinate system of the first and second directional transceivers, the local coordinate system being defined relative to the locations of the first, second, and third directional transceivers, and calculating an orientation relative to the local coordinate system of the first directional transceiver using directions of the first and second vectors relative to the first directional transceiver and the locations in the local coordinate system of the first, second and third directional transceivers.
