Abstract: This document discloses a solution for synchronizing two apparatuses of the same or different wireless network. A synchronization control apparatus may receive measurement reports from a first apparatus and a second apparatus, wherein at least one of the measurement reports comprises at least one information element indicating an offset between clocks of the first apparatus and the second apparatus. The synchronization control apparatus may synchronize the first apparatus and the second apparatus with each other on the basis of the measurement reports.

Abstract: An apparatus enabling establishment of a Bluetooth mesh network comprises at least two Bluetooth transceiver circuitries and an internal connection between the at least two Bluetooth transceiver circuitries. The Bluetooth transceiver circuitries are simultaneously connected to different Bluetooth piconets, and the apparatus operates as a bridge between the piconets. Concatenation of such apparatuses enables construction of a Bluetooth mesh network where the bridge devices may be simultaneously connected to multiple Bluetooth piconets.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for changing a usability status of an asset in a location tracking system. Establishment of a direct device-to-device wireless communication connection between a user tag and an asset tag of the location tracking system triggers a process to change a usability status of the asset associated with the asset tag. In the process, identifiers of the asset tag and the user tag obtained when pairing the asset tag and the user tag are used in order to link the user tag with the asset tag in the process for changing the usability status of the asset.

Abstract: This document presents a location tracking system. Transmitter tags are disposed throughout the area where the location tracking is carried out. The transmitter tags are configured to transmit their unique identifiers. A personal radio communication device being tracked detects a unique identifier received from a transmitter tag and transmits the detected unique identifier to a server. The server links a known physical location associated with the unique identifier to an identifier of the personal radio communication device so as to carry out location tracking.

Abstract: This document presents a wireless location tracking system comprising a plurality of location tracking nodes to cover an area where the location tracking is to be carried out, wherein the location tracking nodes are configurable to form a static communication network infrastructure for routing communication messages; at least one mobile tag being location-tracked; and a control apparatus configured to receive through the communication network infrastructure a message associating said at least one mobile tag to at least one location tracking node and to map the location of the mobile tag on the basis of said association. The system further comprises at least one radio beacon node disposable to improve the coverage of the location tracking system.

Abstract: There is provided a system for carrying out a height calibration process in a wireless indoor location tracking network, comprising: a plurality of fixed location tracking nodes disposed indoors to cover an indoor area, wherein the plurality of fixed location tracking nodes is configured to carry out location tracking in the indoor area; a mobile tag configured to communicate with at least one location tracking node at a given time at least for the purposes of determining the location of the mobile tag, wherein that the mobile tag comprises a height sensor configured estimate the height of the mobile tag; and at least one location tracking node of the plurality of fixed location tracking nodes is a calibration node configured to co-operate in carrying out a height calibration process during operation of the location tracking network, wherein the height of each calibration node is known.
