1. A method for locating a target tag using a short range radio based positioning system comprising a plurality of localization components, the target tag and the plurality of localization components being configured to perform ranging measurements among each other using short range radio technology, the method comprising an orchestration component of the positioning system:
sending, using long range radio technology, a ranging plan to the target tag and one or more of the plurality of localization components, the ranging plan instructing the target tag and the one or more of the plurality of localization components to perform, using the short range radio technology, ranging measurements among each other enabling to locate the target tag;
receiving, using the long range radio technology, an indication of the localization components in range; and
determining the ranging plan based on the indication of the localization components in range.
