Abstract EN
The paper describes basic principles of a radio-based indoor localization and focuses on the improvement of its results with the aid of a new Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
The advantage of this technology lies in its support by contemporary mobile devices, especially by smartphones and tablets.
We have implemented a distributed system for collecting radio fingerprints by mobile devices with the Android operating system.
This system enables volunteers to create radio-maps and update them continuously.
New Bluetooth Low Energy transmitters (Apple uses its “iBeacon” brand name for these devices) have been installed on the floor of the building in addition to existing WiFi access points.
The localization of stationary objects based on WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and their combination has been evaluated using the data measured during the experiment in the building.
Several configurations of the transmitters’ arrangement, several ways of combination of the data from both technologies, and other parameters influencing the accuracy of the stationary localization have been tested.
