Zusammenfassung:A localization system comprising a plurality of wireless reference nodes for detecting a location of a mobile device within an environment. Each node transmits localization beacon signals to be detected by the mobile device, and/or listens for localization beacon signals from the mobile device. Further, the system also provides or contributes to providing another utility into the environment (e.g. each node being a luminaire); and transmits and/or listens for control-related signals, other than localization beacon signals, related to controlling the provision of said utility, the control related signals being communicated on a same or overlapping frequency band as the localization beacon signals, one or more controllers are configured to control the transmission of and/or listening for the control-related signals to be time-multiplexed into different time slots than the transmission and/or listening for the localization beacon signals, between the time-slots of the control-related signals.
