  • each transmitting and receiving module 8 can send a localization protocol to a central processing unit, wherein in the localization protocol the identifier of the anchor node 9 to be used for the position calculation is also sent, and as soon as the localization protocol and a localization signal arrives / arrive at the one or more (listening) anchor nodes 9, protocol packets are sent to the corresponding anchor node 9 for the position calculation by the central processing unit 12 ,
  • the transmitter i. the animal brand 5
  • This signal from the transmitter contains i.a. the localization protocol and other useful data such as temperature, speed, direction, etc.
  • Reachable anchor nodes 9 receive the signal.
  • the transmitter can also send in the localization protocol - which anchor node 9 carries out the position determination from the achievable anchor nodes 9.
  • all other anchor nodes 9, which receive the signal from the transmitter send the received location protocols and payload data to this particular anchor node 9.
  • This anchor node 9 determines the position of the transmitter and sends only the result and the payload to a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone, or to a central server, PC, etc.
  • a new anchor node 9 for the Position determination is stored in the transmitter. Thus, the calculation can be distributed to all anchor nodes 9.
  • the advantage here is that in an anchor node network with many anchor nodes 9 and transmitters, in particular animal brands 5, (eg 40 anchor nodes 9 and 4000 transmitters) not every sent localization protocol from the transmitter via the achievable anchor nodes 9 to redundant payload to the central server 20 or the central processing unit 12 leads. Thus, the data traffic towards the central processing unit 12 can be reduced. If the position in the network on the anchor node 9 is already determined, then only the result and the payload from the sender to a receiver in the network are sent. Also, no central server must run when the position should be displayed on a smartphone.
  • the system can also run on a pasture without a central server, since already from three anchor nodes 9, the localization of an animal brand or transmitter works and just on the anchor node 9, the position can be determined.
  • the individual embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 can form the subject of independent solutions according to the invention.
