Abstract

The current disclosure discloses a method for determining a location of a user device in an industrial facility. The method includes: transmitting a localization request to a location controller via a first base station; receiving a response message at a second time instance from the first base station; transmitting a timing message to the first base station; transmitting a polling message to a second base station; receiving a second response message at a fifth time instance from the second base station; and transmitting a second timing message to the second base station. The location controller is configured to determine the location of the user device based on transmission time instances and reception time instances associated with the localization request, the polling message, the first and second response messages, and the first and second timing messages.
