Abstract: An assembly is provided combining a low power light source, a distance measuring radio, an electrical storage and an adapter compatible with an existing socket for a light unit. The unique configuration of the assembly enables deployment of distance measuring radios in buildings, vehicles and outdoor venues without the need to install dedicated infrastructure such as electrical grid connections. A method is further disclosed of automatically determining the location of a newly installed assembly by first learning the locations of already installed neighboring assemblies, measuring the distances to such known assemblies, and using the measured distances to determine the location of the newly installed assembly.

Abstract: A method of determining a new position for a node. The node having a distance measuring radio. A list of positions of a plurality of neighboring nodes is obtained. The geometric relationship of the positions in the list and the predicted position of node is analyzed. A subset of the nodes is selected from the list that is less than the total number of modes in the list. Electronic distance measurements from the node to each of the subset of nodes are performed. A new position of the node is determined utilizing the measured distances.

Abstract: An electronic beacon placed stationary in a known location. The beacon includes a map, stored therein, pertaining to a covered area. The map includes coordinates of the known location with reference to the map. The electronic beacon is configured to transmit at least a navigational signal. The electronic beacon has a radio transmitter to communicate the map to at least one moving device in the covered area.

Abstract: Methods for geolocation utilizing electronic distance measurement equipment. The methods select a small subset of available data that is most trustworthy, and then mathematically treats the subset of data (preferably bilateration or trilateration) to compute one or more new measured position candidates. One measured position candidate may be chosen among the measure position candidates based on confidence metrics, relative position geometry, and the comparison with history-based predicted position and its respective confidence metric. In a case where no measured position candidates of sufficient confidence are available, the predicted position is taken as the new position.
