    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, an asynchronous system includes a first wireless node having a wireless device with one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in the wireless network architecture including a first RF signal having a first packet. The system also includes a second wireless node having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional communications with the first wireless node in the wireless network architecture including a second RF signal with a second packet. The one or more processing units of the first wireless node are configured to execute instructions to determine a coarse time of flight estimate of the first and second packets and a fine time estimate of the time of flight using channel information of the first and second wireless nodes.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, a method for localization of nodes in a wireless network architecture includes receiving, with processing logic of a first wireless node having a wireless device, a RF signal from a second wireless node having a wireless device, measuring, with the first wireless node, first channel state information of a first frequency channel of the RF signal, and measuring, with the first wireless node, second channel state information of a second frequency channel of the RF signal with the first and second frequency channels being non-contiguous or discontinuous channels. The method further includes determining delay profile estimation between the first and second wireless nodes based on the first and second channel state information without phase alignment.
