In one embodiment, a method of estimating location of a mobile beaconing device within a building includes steps: concurrently transmitting from the beaconing device at least first and second signals, which respectively indicates at least first and second transmit power levels thereof; receiving the at least first and second signals by a plurality of anchor devices at different known locations; estimating first distances between the beaconing device and each anchor device as a function of signal power levels of the first signal received by each anchor device, and second distances between the beaconing device and each anchor device as a function of signal power levels of the second signal received by each anchor devices; and calculating an estimated location of the beaconing device as a function of the estimated first distances and second distances.
