| Dec 15, 2023 at 17:15 | comment | added | JimB | I wonder if you're trying to reinvent the wheel. The wildlife literature has dealt with this for locating animals with radio collars for decades. See link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10344-006-0076-9 and tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00401706.1981.10486257. | |
