(54) Title: METHOD FOR DETERMINING IH LOCATION OF A REMOTE TRANSMITTER POSITIONED NEAR A (57) Abstract: A method for determining the location of a remote transceiver (9) in relation to a vehicle (1), the method including the steps of: transmitting at least two measuring signals to the remote transceiver (9), each of :! 4the measuring signals being transmitted front a different one of a plurality of n antennae (3, 4, 5,6, 7) positioned y native to the vehicle (1), where n denotes an integer 2; receiving an acknowledgement signal from the remote 3 5 - transmitter (9) in response to each measuring signal, M- - cach acknowledgement signal including a received signal An f strength indication (RSSI) for a respective received measuring signal, the values of the received RSSIs to FO -gether defining a data point in an RSSI domain; and de ternining a diterence between the received value of a 1 a first RSSI and a defmed threshold value for that first 92 RSSI, wherein the sign ofthe ditkerence indicates wheth cr the remote transmitter (9) is inside or outside a defined region i ofor near the vehicle (7).
