It then modulates a signal containing a unique ID and timestamp and returns it to the nearest basic positioning base station. Data from three neighboring base stations is used to calculate the mobile reflector terminal's exact location. The central control processing module uses a trilateration algorithm combined with environmental parameter corrections to calculate three-dimensional coordinates and simultaneously generates navigation instructions that are sent to the mobile reflector terminal.
