First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a processor;
memory; and
a communication interface, the processor configured to;
receive, using the communication interface;
(i) identifiers of a plurality of tags fixed at locations in a physical space, each of the plurality of tags configured to broadcast;
a respective identifier of the tag, and identifiers of neighboring ones of the tags; and
(ii) identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags;
receive respective locations of a subset of the plurality of tags; and
,determine remaining respective locations of the plurality of tags not in the subset from;
the respective locations of the plurality of tags in the subset and the identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags.

Abstract
System and methods of deploying location tracking tags are provided. A device receives: identifiers of a plurality of tags fixed at locations in a physical space, each of the plurality of tags configured to broadcast: a respective identifier; and identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags. The device further receives respective locations of a subset of the plurality of tags. The device determines remaining respective locations of the plurality of tags not in the subset from: the respective locations of the plurality of tags in the subset and the identifiers of respective neighboring tags of each of the plurality of tags. The device can populate a memory and/or a database with the remaining respective locations of the plurality of tags not in the subset for use by a location tracking server.
