Abstract

During a setup phase, a computing device determines a map of an area including one or more regions. Signals are received from a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) nodes and a plurality of Bluetooth Low energy (BLE) nodes in the area, relayed through one or more agents at one or more positions of the area. A precision map is created based on a correlation between the received signals from the UWB nodes and the received signals from the BLE nodes. Locations to place the plurality of BLE nodes are identified based on the precision map.
