A method of augmenting a mobile radio positioning system (Mobile_RADPS) by
using a stationary fan laser transmitter. A rover comprises the mobile
radio positioning system (Mobile_RADPS) integrated with a mobile laser
detector. The stationary fan laser transmitter is integrated with a
stationary radio positioning system (Stationary_RADPS). The method
comprises the following steps: (A)generating a single sloping fan beam by
the stationary fan laser transmitter; (B) detecting the single sloping
fan beam generated by the stationary fan laser transmitter by using the
mobile laser detector; and (C) timing the fan laser beam strike at the
rover's location and using the timing of the fan laser beam strike at the
rover's location to improve an accuracy in determination of position
coordinates of the rover.
