Navigation tracking in an always aware location environment with mobile localization nodes

A mobile localization node, comprising:

• a communication interface to receive at least one initial coordinate from a server computing device that implements a location module to locate wireless communication devices in an always aware location (AAL) environment;
• a processor to implement, at least partially in hardware, a positioning module to:
• determine one or more additional coordinates of the mobile localization node in the AAL environment;
• correlate the at least one initial coordinate received from the server computing device with the one or more additional coordinates determined by the positioning module based on a common timestamp for the initial and additional coordinates;
• designate an origin of the mobile localization node within the AAL environment based on a combination of the correlated coordinates;
• and
• self-track navigation of the mobile localization node in three dimensions based on updates to the correlated coordinates as the mobile localization node moves from the origin to subsequent locations within the AAL environment, the updates to the correlated coordinates determined from navigation data generated by an inertial measurement unit of the mobile localization node.

A method, comprising:

• executing a positioning module on a processor of a mobile localization node implemented as a computing device, the positioning module performing:
• receiving at least one initial coordinate from a server computing device that implements a location module to locate wireless communication devices in an always aware location (AAL) environment;
• determining one or more additional coordinates of a mobile localization node in the AAL environment;
• correlating the at least one initial coordinate received from the server computing device with the one or more additional coordinates based on a common timestamp for the initial and additional coordinates;
• designating an origin of the mobile localization node within the AAL environment based on a combination of the correlated coordinates;
• and
• self-tracking, by the mobile localization node, navigation of the mobile localization node in three dimensions based on updates to the correlated coordinates as the mobile localization node moves from the origin to subsequent locations within the AAL environment, the updates to the correlated coordinates determined from navigation data generated by an inertial measurement unit of the mobile localization node.
