    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, an asynchronous system includes first and second wireless nodes each having a wireless device with one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in the wireless network architecture. The system also includes a wireless node having an unknown location and a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable communications with the first and second third wireless nodes in the wireless network architecture. The first wireless node transmits a communication to the second wireless node and the wireless node having an unknown location, receives a communication with an acknowledge packet from the wireless node, and determines time difference of arrival information between the first and second wireless nodes.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, a system includes a first plurality of wireless sensor nodes each having a known location and a second plurality of wireless sensor nodes each having an unknown location in a wireless network architecture. One or more processing units of a wireless sensor node of the first plurality of wireless nodes are configured to execute instructions to determine distance estimates between the first plurality of wireless sensor nodes and the second plurality of wireless sensor nodes for localization, determine error metric information for each distance estimate, and adaptively select the determined distance estimates for localization based on the error metric information.
