A location server device includes a memory circuitry, a processor circuitry, and an interface. The location server device is configured to communicate, via the interface, with one or more positioning units configured to communicate with one or more electronic devices one or more first positioning signals at a first frequency. The processor circuitry is configured to select at least one of the one or more positioning units based on detecting a trigger event. The interface is configured to transmit, to the at least one selected positioning unit, an activation signal. The activation signal indicates to the at least one selected positioning unit to activate transmission of one or more second positioning signals at a second frequency that is different from the first frequency.
A location server device comprising a memory circuitry, a processor circuitry, and an interface, wherein the location server device is configured to communicate, via the interface, with one or more positioning units configured to communicate to one or more electronic devices one or more first positioning signals at a first frequency,
A positioning unit comprising a memory circuitry, a processor circuitry, and an interface, wherein the positioning unit is configured to communicate with a location server device, and with an electronic device,
An electronic device comprising a memory circuitry, a processor circuitry, and a wireless interface, wherein the electronic device is configured to communicate with one or more positioning units,
