FIELD: radio engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to identification of transmitters for signals received by terminal. In order to evaluate transmitter of this received signal, candidate list of transmitters which could transmit this signal is made out. Besides coverage area is detected to be used for received signal. This coverage area is area where terminal can receive signal to be identified. Then predicted power for each candidate transmitter is evaluated, e.g. using route and coverage area loss prediction model. Predicted powers for candidate transmitters are compared (directly or relatively) to measured power of received signal. Candidate transmitter with (direct/relative) predicted power closest to (direct/relative) measured power is considered to be that one transmitted this signal. Distribution delays can be predicted and used for transmitter identification as well.
EFFECT: estimation of terminal location.
