A
wireless real time positioning method and
system, the
system comprises multiple mesh tags (314, 414) and a target tag (310, 410), the method comprises: sending a broadcast message from the target tag (310, 410); receiving the broadcast message in each mesh tag (314, 414); measure a Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the received broadcast message in each mesh tag (314, 414); transmitting the RSSI from each mesh tag (314, 414) to said target tag (310, 410); selecting, in the target tag (310, 410), one subset of mesh tags (314, 414) having the highest RSSI as proximity tags (314-2, 314-3, 314-5, 314-6); performing a
Time of Flight (ToF) measurement, in the target tag (310, 410), with all the selected proximity tags (314-2, 314-3, 314-5, 314-6); calculating, in the target tag (310, 410), a real time position of the target tag (310, 410) based on the ToF measurements with all the selected proximity tags (314-2, 314-3, 314-5, 314-6).
