Abstract

A method includes, generating a schedule for an asset tag, the schedule defining: a unicast trigger time for transmission of a unicast trigger to the asset tag; a transmit time succeeding receipt of the multicast trigger; and a wake window intersecting the transmit time and the receipt of the multiact trigger. The method also includes transmitting the schedule from a node network to the asset tag and configuring the asset tag based on the schedule. The method also includes, at the node network, broadcasting the unicast trigger and, at an asset tag: entering a wake mode; receiving the unicast trigger; transmitting a ranging signal; and entering the sleep mode. The method further includes, at the node network: deriving location of the asset tag based on instance of the ranging signal received by nodes in the node network.
