Abstract
In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for virtual angle-of-arrival (AoA) or angle-of-departure (AoD) tracking for virtually tracking multiple Targets. The wireless devices (e.g. Tracker and Targets) may participate in a mesh configuration and share data within the mesh. A first device may purport to be a virtual tracker, while acting as an AoA or Angle of Departure (AoD) Target. The devices being tracked (e.g. virtual targets), may instead operate as Trackers. Processor- and energy-intensive calculations may be distributed to the virtual targets and transmitted via the mesh for aggregation at the virtual tracker.
