Method for determining the relative positions and / or distances of several terminals of a communication network

Method for determining the relative positions and / or distances of several terminals of a communication network that are assigned to multiple groups, each group comprising at least one terminal, comprising the steps of: - providing a total frequency band (SF) within which a plurality of terminals (12, 14, 16) to each other send position signals within the frequency band (SF) located carrier frequencies to the relative distance and / or position determination, - defining frequency sub-bands (SF - defining different sizes of frequency sub-bands for each group according to the position determination accuracy requirements, - Select the power of the position signals, the position of the position signals within the entire frequency band and / or the bandwidth of the frequency sub-bands (SF - sending of the relative distance and / or position determination between two or more terminals (12, 14, 16) serving signals lying each in the region of the edges of the entire frequency band (SF) frequency sub-bands (SF
