Claim:
1. A method for bandwidth management in a multiple target location system, comprising: receiving a transmission TOA message report from at least one receiver in a set of one or more receivers disposed about a monitored area, wherein the transmission TOA message report is generated based on a number of data packets that are stored in a receive buffer, wherein the data packets are received from a plurality of radio frequency identification tags, and the data packets are individually stored as a buffer element with a sequence number; determining, by a processor hub, a buffer fullness level for the receive buffer, wherein the buffer fullness level is determined based on the transmission TOA message report; determining, by the processor hub, a set of sequence numbers of buffer elements to be removed from the receive buffer in the at least one receiver based on the buffer fullness level; and communicating, to the at least one receiver, a message, wherein the message, when processed by the at least one receiver, is configured to cause the at least one receiver to remove, from the receive buffer, buffer elements based on the set of sequence numbers of buffer elements.
