Abstract
Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless sensor nodes in a tree network architecture having mesh-based features are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a hub having one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications with sensor nodes to enable bi-directional communications. The one or more processing units of the hub execute instructions to configure the system with a tree architecture for communications between the hub and the sensor nodes, and to configure the system temporarily with a mesh-based architecture for determining location information for the sensor nodes.
