DOD-Based Indoor Localization Using BLE Beacons
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a BLE-based localization method suitable for the indoor smartphone geolocation service. In this method, a triangulation technique using Direction-of-Departure (DOD) information from the multiple BLE beacons is used for localization, where they are calculated only from the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The outline of the proposed localization system and the experimental results of estimating locations are presented. The experiment reveals the proposed method can estimate the location with 0.54 m accuracy (50 percentile).
