Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device is described that includes one or more processors, a wireless transceiver that broadcasts a message over a wireless signal to locate a target tag, and a locator application. The locator application is operable by the one or more processors to receive, in response to the broadcast message, a plurality of intermediate responses from one or more intermediate tags, determine a first-hop direction and a first-hop distance to at least one first-hop intermediate tag based on the plurality of intermediate responses, and determine a target tag distance and a target tag direction from the computing device to the target tag based on each first-hop direction and the intermediate responses from each intermediate tag, wherein at least one of the plurality of intermediate responses from the one or more intermediate tags includes range data associated with a target-hop distance from the intermediate tag to the target tag.
