The present disclosure relates to a location determination system that includes acoustic transmitting devices (104), location tags (112), and a wireless mesh network (106), where the wireless mesh network uses battery-powered devices. A location tag receives acoustic signals (e.g., ultrasound signals) from an acoustic transmitting device. Clocks from members of the wireless mesh network are synchronized by observation of clock pairings, each clock pair formed by respective clocks in a transmitting device that transmits a message and a receiving device that receives the message. By analyzing the observed clock pairings, a best fit between the clock pairings may be determined. After selecting a reference clock, an acoustic transmission schedule may be propagated to the respective acoustic transmitting device.

An interference detection system in a network determines that an unknown radio frequency (RF) interference source that causes RF interference experienced by a first wireless station is a persistent RF interference source over a plurality of time intervals in a selected time period.

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for establishing a positioning network. The positioning network includes a data processing center and at least one reference station, and one node in the positioning network represents one reference station. The method includes: determining, if a first historical positioning network capable of forming a new positioning network with a newly added node exists in a network list of the data processing center, whether the newly added node forms the new positioning network with the first historical positioning network; and determining, if the network list does not exist in the data processing center, whether the newly added node is capable of forming a new positioning network with nodes in a first node information list. Before network real-time kinematic (RTK) is formed, a user can use a single-baseline RTK positioning service. The network RTK is formed once a networking condition is met. A positioning network is gradually established, requirements of users may be satisfied with less investment when there are fewer users in the early stage, and the network is gradually formed with the increase of users, so that more users can be covered by using fewer base stations.

A first estimation unit estimates, based on pieces of information on the reception strength acquired by an acquisition unit in a first time period, a location of a transmitter. A first determination unit determines, based on the location of the transmitter estimated by the first estimation unit, an area in which the transmitter is present.
