Abstract:
Indoor position of devices and persons is a very valuable information for context-aware devices and human activity recognition. The need of such information grows bigger by the advancement of IoT technologies. In this paper, we discuss existing indoor positioning approaches and their applications, give specific interest to the signal strength fingerprint approaches, to which belongs the presented paper. Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons are used as the source of the signal, and the Radial Basis Functions method is employed to create a model that relates to signal strength and position. The proposed approach allows the possibility of making all the computation on a smartphone application, namely, offline data collection and model computation, and online position estimation. Besides, it allows updating the model later.
