Systems and apparatuses for determining location of a wireless arbitrary device are disclosed herein. In one example, an asynchronous system for localization of a wireless arbitrary device in a wireless network architecture includes a plurality of wireless anchor nodes each having a wireless device with one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in the wireless network architecture. The one or more processing units of at least one wireless anchor node are configured to receive instructions to prepare for localization of the wireless arbitrary device, to change a RF channel to be the same as an RF channel of the wireless arbitrary device based on the received instructions, to receive a communication including data traffic from the wireless arbitrary device, and to obtain ranging information including a receive timestamp and channel sense information (CSI) from the data traffic.
