Abstract

Indoor positioning systems have already been introduced in commercial facilities. Since, the signals transmitted from GPS satellites do not penetrate inside buildings, Wifi, Zigbee and Bluetooth are used for indoor position estimation. In this work, we only focus on the use of Bluetooth due to its advantages such as low power consumption, wide signal range and inexpensive. However, the accuracy of positioning is not sufficient in current technologies. Therefore, this paper proposes an indoor positioning method for improving accuracy, using compass and walking speed with an extended Kalman filter. Preliminary experimental results improves accuracy up to 21.2%.
