Trilateration in three-dimensional geometry Intersection point of three pseudo-ranges. Trilateration is the use of distances (or "ranges") for determining the unknown position coordinates of a point of interest, often around Earth (geopositioning). [1] When more than three distances are involved, it may be called multilateration, for emphasis.
Specifically in surveying, triangulation involves only angle measurements at known points, rather than measuring distances to the point directly as in trilateration; the use of both angles and distance measurements is referred to as triangulateration.
Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.
Trilateration, a method for determining the intersections of three sphere surfaces given the centers and radii of the three spheres. Egyptian triliteral signs are symbols which represent a specific sequence of three consonants, also vowels and consonants, in the language.
The principle of location is based on trilateration. Each satellite transmits a precise ephemeris with information on its own position and a message containing the exact time of transmission. The receiver compares this time of transmission with its own clock at the time of reception and multiplies the difference by the speed of light to obtain ...

There is no accepted or widely-used general term for what is termed true-range multilateration here . That name is selected because it: (a) is an accurate description and partially familiar terminology (multilateration is often used in this context); (b) avoids specifying the number of ranges involved (as does, e.g., range-range; (c) avoids implying an application (as do, e.g., DME/DME ...
