A method of identifying a target mobile transceiver in a communications
network that includes multiple unknown mobile transceivers. In this aspect
of the method, a location system interrogates the target mobile
transceiver multiple times in an interrogation pattern to cause the target
mobile transceiver to transmit a signal in response to each interrogation.
The location system monitors signals transmitted by all mobile
transceivers in the network, and identifies the target mobile transceiver
as the mobile transceiver whose pattern of response most closely matches
the interrogation pattern.
