Summary :

To overcome the shortcomings of conventional cellular positioning, a novel cooperative location algorithm that uses the available peer-to-peer communication between the mobile terminals (MTs) is proposed. The main idea behind the proposed approach is to incorporate the long- and short-range location information to improve the estimation of the MT's coordinates. Since short-range communications among MTs are characterized by high line-of-sight (LOS) probability, an improved spring-model-based cooperative location method can be exploited to provide low-cost improvement for cellular-based location in the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments.
