1. A localization system, comprising:

  • a plurality of positioning anchors configured to wirelessly transmit localization signals during time slots of a transmission schedule, wherein;

    each localization signal comprises a payload; and

    the payload for each localization signal identifies at least one positioning anchor of the plurality of positioning anchors configured to transmit a localization signal during at least one future time slot; and

    a self-localizing apparatus comprising a receiver, wherein the self-localizing apparatus is configured to;

    receive at least some of the localization signals;

    extract the payload of the received localization signals;

    determine, based on the extracted payload of the received localization signals, which localization signals to receive for determining positioning information of the self-localizing apparatus;

    configure the receiver based on the determined localization signals;

    receive, using the configured receiver, the determined localization signals; and

    determine the positioning information of the self-localizing apparatus based on the received determined localization signals.
