Rok Kanduti (2018) Indoor positioning using BLE technology. EngD thesis.
Abstract
The goal of the thesis was to create an indoor positioning system. Most of the current solutions are based on a device, which listens for nearby beacons with static positions. The device then tries to calculate its own position based on received signal strengths. I took a different approach to solve the problem. It works with multiple static listeners which transmit received signal strengths of nearby devices to central hub. Central hub then aggregates the data and tries to calculate the position of the device. First part of the thesis introduces the field of usage of such systems, while the second one describes the design and architecture of the system. Last part presents the results of its performance in the real world.
