3. A method of operating a lighting and location system, comprising:
receiving, by a sensor, beacon signals from asset tags during a time window;
processing, by a processor, the beacon signals by filtering out one or more of the beacon signals based on signal strengths, the one or more of the beacon signals that are filtered out each having a signal strength that is less than a threshold signal strength with respect to remaining beacon signals from the beacon signals;
after the time window, identifying, by the processor, only representative beacon signals from among the remaining beacon signals, wherein each representative beacon signal is associated with a respective asset tag of the asset tags, during the time window;
identifying, by the processor, one or more representative beacon signals from among the representative beacon signals; and
transmitting identification (ID) information and signal strength information of the only one or more representative beacon signals such that the ID information is validated against a list of valid ID information upon reception of the transmitted ID information.
