Abstract

Currently one of the most widely used systems for GPS locating is very suitable for outdoor environment, but in buildings is practically not applicable. For indoor locating, the device based on Bluetooth can be used. It can measure and determine the approximate location. This article deals with the issue of building a network of transmitters on the basis of which the position can be determined and presents a new method for the assessment of a layout of individual transmitters in the building.
