| contents | For future large scale robotic moon missions, the availability of infrastructure-less, cheap and low power real-time locating systems (RTLSs) is critical. Traditional RTLS face significant trade-offs between power consumption and localization latency, often requiring anchors to be connected to the power grid or sacrificing speed for energy efficiency. This paper proposes WakeLoc, an on-demand RTLS based on ultra-wideband (UWB), enabling both low-latency and ultra-low power consumption by leveraging UWB wake-up radios (WuRs). In WakeLoc, tags independently start a localization procedure by sending a wake-up call (WuC) to anchors, before performing the actual localization. Distributed tags equipped with WuRs listen to the WuC and use passive listening of the UWB messages to determine their own position. Experimental measurements demonstrate that the localization accuracy in a 2D setup achieves less than 12.9cm error, both for the active and the passive tag. Additional power simulations based on real-world measurements were performed in a realistic environment, showing that anchors can achieve a power consumption as low as 15.53μW while the RTLS performs one on-demand localization per minute for 5 tags, thus operate up to 5.01 years on a single coin cell battery (690mWh). |
