Location awareness in a wireless network refers to the ability of nodes in the network to know their locations and/or the locations of neighboring nodes. Such location awareness, which is also referred to as ranging, is very important in networks where nodes have mobility, such as vehicular networks, navigation networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, cellular networks, the Internet of Things networks, etc. The awareness of location can be used for a variety of different purposes and applications, including collision avoidance, ensuring adequate node coverage in a given area, proximity sensing, etc.
