Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting the location of objects using a network of internet of things (IoT) sensors ('tracking devices'). The tracking devices may be capable of determining location information (for example, through GPS signals) and may communicate this information to a central server. However, in some cases, a tracking device may be unable to communicate with the central server using a long-range communication network. The tracking device may also be unable to ascertain its own location. In such situations, other tracking devices may communicate with the tracking device over short-range signals, determine the location of the tracking device, and relay this information to the central server.
