Configuring a wireless mesh network for locationing

Abstract:

A locationing platform may receive, via a mesh network, a locationing communication associated with a waypoint beacon. The locationing platform may identify an entry node of the locationing communication. The locationing platform may determine a waypoint location associated with the waypoint beacon based on locationing information in the locationing communication. The locationing platform may determine a node location of the entry node based on the waypoint location. The locationing platform may configure, based on the node location, a relay node of the mesh network to forward or drop subsequently received locationing communications that are associated with the waypoint beacon.
