Abstract

A method for method of estimating the position of one or more target nodes based on received reflections of a primary signal. The method includes receiving a primary signal from a transmitter node having a known location at a receiver node having a known location and receiving at least one reflected signal at the receiver node, the reflected signal generated by a reflection of the primary signal by a target node having an unknown location. The method further includes applying a target position algorithm to the primary signal and the at least one reflected signal to generate target location information.
