Patent ID: 7881727

Claim:
Method of locating communicating mobile objects in a communications network, in which, in the case of a communication being established between first (S) and second (A) communicating objects, the second of which (A) at least is mobile, in sites (Hi) through which the second object (A) is passing, repeaters (Fi) are generated communicating from one to the next within a chain which they form together, so as to relay to the second object (A) each message coming from the first object (S), characterised in that it further comprises: storing in each repeater (Fi) an identifier representing the location of the next repeater (F(i+1)) or site (H(i+1)) within the chain, allocating a timer (CTF) to each repeater (Fi) at the moment when this is generated, so that upon expiry of a selected duration, it addresses to at least one location server (SL) of the network the said location identifier of the next repeater (F(i+1)) or site (H(i+1)) in order that this is stored in the server (SL) as correspondence of a primary identifier of the second object (A).
