22. An asset tracking system comprising:
-
one or more landmark tags, each configured to transmit a corresponding position identification (ID) value; an asset tag configured to; receive the corresponding position ID values from the one or more landmark tags; determine a tier value associated with each received position ID value; determine asset position information based on each received position ID value and each determined tier value; and transmit the determined asset position information; a receiver configured to; receive the asset position information transmitted by the asset tag; and relay the received asset position information; and a server configured to; receive the asset position information relayed by the receiver; determine a unique asset identifier based on the received asset position information; and associate the receiver with the determined unique asset identifier.
