Abstract

A controller comprises a communication interface to receive an anchor localization dataset comprising a plurality of anchor range measurements and a processing circuitry to identify a qualified subset of anchor range measurements from the anchor localization dataset, wherein the anchor range measurements in the qualified subset are consistent, select a first anchor range measurement in the anchor localization dataset from outside the qualified subset of anchor range measurements, and add the first anchor range measurement to the qualified subset of anchor range measurements when the first anchor range measurement is consistent with the anchor range measurements in the qualified subset of anchor range measurements.
