SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRACKING A DEVICE IN ZERO-INFRASTRUCTURE AND ZERO-POWER CONDITIONS, AND A TRACKING DEVICE THEREFOR

Disclosed are embodiments for a tracking device having multiple layers of localization and communication capabilities, and particularly having the ability to operate in zero-infrastructure or zero-power conditions. Also disclosed are methods and systems that enhance location determination in zero-infrastructure and zero-power conditions. In one example, a device, system and/or method includes an infrastructure-based localization module, an infrastructure-less localization module and a passive module that can utilize at least two of the modules to determine a location of the tracking device.
