Abstract
A system (1) for selecting one or more devices in a wireless network for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection comprises at least one processor (5) configured to determine a suitability of each of a plurality of devices (11-15) for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection, select a subset of devices from the 5 plurality of devices based on the suitability determined for each of the plurality of devices, and instruct at least one of the subset of devices to act as a device for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection.
