Abstract: Location of objects within an identified subspace defined within a predefined master space. The system includes an RF beacon associated with an object, the RF beacon transmitting signals to one or more of RF tags transmitting to an object location system a tag data package including an identification of the signals received by the RF tags from the RF beacon. The system includes a gateway receiving and extracting, from the transmitted tag data package, the identification of signals. The system further includes the location engine accessing an ML model trained by performing a survey of RF signals received from a plurality of RF signal sources during a prior RF master space survey operation and determining a subspace identifier corresponding to a predicted subspace location for the object by comparing the identification of signals included in the received tag data package to a model plurality of signals accessed from the model.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for providing a distributed radio communications network. Each of a first gateway and a second gateway may separately receive modulated signals comprising at least a portion of data from a first node of a plurality of geographically-dispersed nodes. The modulated signals may be wirelessly transmitted as radio frequency (RF) signals from the first node, the data gathered or generated by the first node at a first location. A server may receive the modulated signals from the first gateway and the second gateway. As configured by software-defined radio (SDR) software, the server may perform processing of the separately received modulated signals to recover the data. The processing may include demodulation of the modulated signals.
