System and Method for Robust Navigation and Communication Via A Cooperative Ad-hoc Network

摘要

A MANET Signals of Opportunity (SoOP) network providing positioning information to mobile users cooperatively. Mobile nodes access SoOP/GNSS to determine location and share navigation and communication information with other users to extend coverage to adjacent nodes. The system also allows disadvantaged users to determine positioning based upon beacon information transmitted without access to GNSS signals.
