A system and method is described for constructing a proximity-based ad hoc networkamong a plurality of sensors and for using the network to perform location tracking andprovide location-based services. Time-coded data received from each of the sensors isused to determine a current proximity of each of the sensors with respect to othersensors within the plurality of sensors. Actual location information associated with aparticular sensor can then be used to generate or augment location informationassociated with other sensors known to be spatially and temporally proximate to theparticular sensor.
