METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INCREASING SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO OF LOCATION MEASUREMENTS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H04B7/26 H04W64/00 

FIELD: physics; communication.

SUBSTANCE: method and device are meant for generating and using a reference location signal, which enables a receiver to receive location signals from generators of relatively weak signals when there is a strong signal source. Reference location signals from several sources can be synchronised such that, they are transmitted within the limits of a planned slot, during which a signal source can configure transmission, which includes a medium access control address, which corresponds a value reserved for location signals. Each signal source also configures transmission such that, it includes a reference location signal, which corresponds to the signal source and lies in such a way that, it arises on time within part of the data of the planned slot which has several sub-slots, where each signal source transmits a location signal to a sub-slot and not to other sub-slots.

EFFECT: location of a mobile device with high efficiency in several states, including a "near-far" state.
