Abstract
Localization is performed using a dynamic mesh of vehicle-based Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) anchors. One or more vehicle-based UWB anchors are detected using fixed-location infrastructure UWB anchors, the one or more vehicle-based UWB anchors being components of a vehicle used for access control to the vehicle. The one or more vehicle-based UWB anchors are joined to a mesh of UWB anchors for locating mobile devices, the mesh of UWB anchors including both the fixed-location infrastructure UWB anchors and the dynamic vehicle-based UWB anchors. The mesh of UWB anchors is used to determine an absolute position of a mobile device.
