Abstract: Cooperating mobiles (ground vehicles, aircraft) are located and identified by Multilateration and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) techniques using the frequency band and the format of the Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) signals in high traffic situations. Standard messages, transmitted by the mobile on the downlink channel, i.e. to a set of fixed receiving stations, and including the identification code, permit the location of the mobile by multiple time measurements (Multilateration) from a subset of the set of fixed receiving stations; when the message contains the position (GPS and, later, Galileo datum) the mobile may be located with the ADS-B when in view even of a few stations or of a single station. In order to overcome the problem that arises with high traffic, i.e. the superimposition of signals, called garbling.
