Abstract

Indoor positioning attracts a lot of attention because people spend their maximum time indoors. As well as the loss of GPS signal power through walls, which requires the integration of other approaches to locate passengers indoors. With the technological growth of telecommunications systems such as 5G and the development of the Internet of Things technique, indoor location is becoming an applicable reality, in order to improve the services offered indoors. In addition, ensuring security in public environments such as airports, train stations, shopping malls, supermarkets…

In this article, we focus on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of UWB, and then the exposure and evaluation of different indoor location techniques based on UWB. The document is structured around the following points:

  • We expose the advantages and the disadvantages of UWB technique

  • We present and evaluate the indoor positioning techniques based on the UWB
