System and methods of deploying location tracking tags

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a device, using a communication interface:
• (i) identifiers of a plurality of tags fixed at locations in a physical space, each of the plurality of tags configured to broadcast:
• a respective identifier of the tag, and identifiers of neighboring ones of the tags;
• and
• (ii) identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags;
• receiving, at the device, respective locations of a subset of the plurality of tags;
• and,
• determining, at the device, remaining respective locations of the plurality of tags not in the subset from:
• the respective locations of the plurality of tags in the subset and the identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags.

A tag comprising:

• a processor, a memory storing an identifier, and a wireless communication interface configured to broadcast the identifier, the processor configured to:
• receive, from the wireless communication interface, identifiers of neighboring tags;
• store the identifiers of the neighboring tags in the memory;
• and,
• modify the broadcast of the identifier to include the identifiers of the neighboring tags.
