Abstract:	Along with a vision that foresees the fourth generation (4G) as based on a cellular system that will also support short-range communications among the terminals, in this paper we propose an innovative cooperative geolocation scheme and its data fusion method. The latter combines long- and shortrange location information, respectively retrieved by a hybrid time of arrival / angle of arrival (TOA / AOA) technique in the cellular segment and TOA technique in the short-range segment, to enhance the location estimation accuracy of the actual hybrid cellular solutions.
