Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless location determination apparatus using weighted values in a wireless communication network, including: a fixed infrastructure searching unit configured to search and accept information of nodes to be located and neighbor fixed infrastructures; an infrastructure combination generating unit configured to generate fixed infrastructure combinations to be used for location determination from the information of the fixed infrastructures; a location determination information element extracting unit configured to extract location determination information elements between the fixed infrastructures from each generated fixed infrastructure combination; a weighted value calculating unit configured to allocate the weighted values to each fixed infrastructure combination using the extracted location determination information elements; a fixed infrastructure combination selecting unit configured to select the fixed infrastructure combinations for location determination using the allocated weighted values; and a location calculating unit configured to calculate locations of the nodes to be located using the selected fixed infrastructure combinations.
