    Abstract: A method of managing delivery of a group of packages to a customer delivery address. A radio transceiver establishes a communication link between a tag and a computing device. The tag is associated with a package, the package being among a group of packages to be delivered to the customer delivery address. A radio signal is received at the computing device over the link. The radio signal is representative of tracking information associated with the package, the tracking information includes a unique package code and a unique group identification code. The signal strength of the radio signal is determined. The computing device determines that the package associated with the tag belongs with the group of packages based at least in part on proximity of the tag relative to the computing device and a unique group identification code associated with the customer delivery address.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for optimizing power consumption for smart electronic tracking tags. Example methods may include determining a destination address for a package, determining a shipping timeline for the package, the shipping timeline having a first segment and a second segment, and determining a transmission profile with a first frequency of package information data transmissions during the first segment and a second frequency of package information data transmissions during the second segment. Example methods may include sending the transmission profile to an electronic shipping tag associated with the package.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for enabling orientation of directional antennas even when one or more of the directional antennas are moving. Position information for each directional antenna is transmitted using an omnidirectional antenna transmitting at a low bandwidth and a low power. The position information of the directional antennas is used to orient the directional antennas so that a high bandwidth, low power wireless connection can be enabled and/or maintained between the directional antennas. The position information is periodically transmitted and the orientation of the directional antennas is updated as one or more of the directional antennas move so that the wireless connection between the directional antennas is maintained.
