Systems and methods for improved geolocation in a low power wide area network

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause:

• causing transmission, to an end node of a low power wide area network, of a set of instructions to determine a channel on which a signal is to be transmitted by the end node;
• causing the end node to transmit the signal on a channel determined by execution of the set of instructions by the end node;
• identifying a plurality of receipt times, each receipt time of the plurality of receipt times indicative of a time at which the signal was received, on the channel, by a respective gateway of a plurality of gateways of the low power wide area network;
• and
• based at least in part on the plurality of receipt times, determining a geolocation of the end node.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of gateways of a low power wide area network;
• and
• a computing device configured to:
• cause transmission, to an end node of the low power wide area network, of one or more parameters of a signal to be transmitted by the end node;
• receive, from each gateway of the plurality of gateways, data indicative of a time at which a respective gateway of the plurality of gateways received the signal transmitted, according to the one or more parameters, from the end node;
• and
• based at least in part on the data indicative of the times at which the respective gateways each received the signal from the end node, determine a geolocation of the end node.
