Abstract
The present invention is an integrated wireless system with multiple functionalities including robust (indoor/outdoor) position location, mobile receiver tracking and adaptive broadband communication. The present invention may be an adaptive position location system for local and indoor applications with improved accuracy, flexibility and security. The self-calibration technique of the present invention may cause, the position location system to be easily deployed. A master station may communicate with and control two or more slave stations and one or more user devices and thereby determine the position of a user device and track that user device, utilizing location reference sets, in accordance with the location of the master station and communication between the slave stations and the master station. The locationing operation of the present invention may be initiated by the user device.
