Abstract

Individual pieces of position information are used to determine a location using a processor and multiple local position transmitters. The processor is supplied with at least four different navigation signals, each of which corresponds to a satellite signal on the basis of the global navigation satellite system. Each navigation signal contains information on the transmission time and the transmission location. The processor generates at least four modified navigation signals by temporally shifting navigation signals relative to one another such that the target location coordinates which can be obtained therefrom correspond to a target location on the basis of the global navigation satellite system. An analyzer then superimposes the at least four modified navigation signals in order to form a modified summation navigation signal and transmits same to the local position transmitters. The summation navigation signal is calculated individually for each local position transmitter.
