Abstract
iLoc+ is an ultrasound ranging based indoor localization system based on the iLoc system of the iHomeLab Living Lab. For example, the system can be used for visitor tracking: Visitors get an electronic name badge comprising an ultrasound transmitter. This badge can be localized with an average accuracy of less than 30 cm deviation in its spatial position, by means of reference nodes distributed in the lab rooms. iLoc among others received a 3rd prize at the 2011 EvAAL localization competition performed at the CIAMI Living Lab, Valencia. iLoc+ is a further development of the iLoc system. It specifically addresses AAL scenarios, where besides a high accuracy also low installation effort and affordable cost is important. Therefore iLoc+ reference nodes operate wireless. Node positions are self-determined with respect to a few given reference locations.
