Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing and using ultra-wide-band (UWB) local area networks (LANs) are disclosed. A system for locating UWB devices includes UWB local area networks (LANs). Each UWB LAN includes anchors configured for performing UWB ranging and a LAN master anchor surrounded by at least some of the anchors. The LAN master anchor is configured for transmitting a UWB beacon to identify the UWB LAN to one or more candidate tags to join the UWB LAN. The system includes a tag securable to an object for tracking. The tag is configured for receiving a first UWB beacon from a first LAN master of a first UWB LAN; receiving a second UWB beacon from a second LAN master of a second UWB LAN; and determining to associate with the first UWB LAN based on the first UWB beacon and the second UWB beacon.
