Abstract: A method for locating an animal using radio waves. In radiolocation, a large number of possible calculation results for the location of the animal arise. Using the results of previous measurements and calculations with regard to the possible locations of the node to be located, stochastic calculations are used to filter out, from the plurality of the current location calculation results, that result which in fact applies with the highest probability. Acceleration values which are measured at the animal are used in the stochastic calculations. It is assumed that with increasing measured acceleration values the probability increases that there can also be relatively large distances between temporally successive locations of the node to be located.
