Abstract
In one embodiment, an asynchronous wireless system for localization of nodes comprises a first wireless node being configured to receive a first communication from a third wireless node having an unknown location, to determine time difference of arrival (TDoA) information of the reception of the first communication between each of the first and a second wireless node, to determine TDoA ranging including a relative or absolute position of the third wireless node using the time difference of arrival information, and to synchronize the first and second wireless nodes based on a second communication with the synchronization being decoupled in time from the first communication. In another embodiment, a computer implemented method comprises receiving, with first and second wireless anchor nodes, packets from a wireless arbitrary device and performing time difference of arrival ranging upon reception of the packets between each of the first and the second wireless anchor nodes.
