Abstract
Localization based services are in the process of being ubiquitous, it is then essential to find a low-cost and low-energy solution for localization of moving targets. Bluetooth-based solutions for indoor localization have become increasingly popular in recent years. In addition to its availability (e.g., BLE is available on most modern smart devices), Bluetooth Low Energy technology is an economical and simple solution to the industry. To the best of our knowledge, none of the existing indoor localization systems use both Angle of Arrival and Received Signal Strength Indication. This paper presents the experimental assessment of a single device localization system that uses Angle of Arrival and Received Signal Strength Indication for localization of moving targets using Bluetooth. The results demonstrate that the developed system is an important step towards a new generation of real-time indoor localization systems that can locate targets with high accuracy (e.g., AoA accuracy: 89.2%), and an improvement concerning the cost of the implementation.
