The technologies and sensors embedded in smartphones have contributed to the spread of disruptive applications built on top of Location Based Services (LBSs). Among them, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has been widely adopted for proximity and localization, as it is a simple but efficient positioning technology. This article presents a database of received signal strength measurements (RSSIs) on BLE signals in a real positioning system. The system was deployed on two buildings belonging to the campus of the University of Extremadura in Badajoz. the database is divided into three different deployments, changing in each of them the number of measurement points and the configuration of the BLE beacons. the beacons used in this work can broadcast up to six emission slots simultaneously. Fingerprinting positioning experiments are presented in this work using multiple slots, improving positioning accuracy when compared with the traditional single slot approach.

Vehicle Localization

High-precision in-vehicle localization is the basis for both in-vehicle location-based service and the analysis of the driver or passengers’ behaviors. However, interferences like effects of multipath and reflection of the signals significantly raise great challenges to the positioning accuracy at in-vehicle environment. This article presents a novel high-precision in-vehicle localization method, namely, the LOC-in-a-Car, based on functional exploration and full use of multi-channel received signal strength indicator of Bluetooth Low Energy. To achieve higher positioning precision, a hierarchical computation algorithm based on Adaboost and support vector machine is proposed in our method. In particular, we also proposed a device calibration method to deal with the heterogeneity of different smartphone terminals. We developed an Android app as a component in which the channel time-sharing acquisition method is fulfilled, enabling smartphones to distinguish data from multi-channels. The system performance is verified via intensive experiments, of which the results show that our method can distinguish the locations of driver or passengers with an accuracy ranging from 86.80% to 92.02% for each seat on Nexus phone, and the overall accuracy is 89.86%, with standard deviation of 2.64%. On Huawei phone, the accuracy ranges from 85.43% to 93.33% with overall accuracy of 89.75% and standard deviation of 3.07%. Both outperform the existing methods.

Indoor Positioning System

Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is used to locate a person, an object or a location inside a building. IPS is important in providing location-based services, which has recently gain much popularity. The services ease visitors’ navigation at unfamiliar premises. Location-based services depend on the capability of IPS to accurately determine the location of the user, which is a challenging issue in indoor environments. Several wireless technologies are available. In this paper, two of the most widely used IPS technologies are reviewed which are, WiFi and Bluetooth low energy (BLE). Their advantages and disadvantages are reviewed and reported here. Comparison of the systems based on their performance, accuracy and limitations are presented as well.

There are many systems with diverse technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultra Wide Band, Ultrasound, Infrared can be used for location-based services. Of these technologies can be developed several applications for positioning purposes such as monitoring patients in hospitals or elderly people who are undergoing treatment at home. This paper proposes a simple method to estimate the presence of the object / user in a fixed area using parameter Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) on Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE). To determine the performance of the RSSI, conducted two experiments in a room scenario dimensions 3 x 2.80 x 2.5 m (present and not present). Two experiments were conducted to test the performance of the RSSI signal. The first experiments with conditions not present showed a good performance. However, in the second experiment (present) with the status of various objects that are in the same room, resulting in poor performance of RSSI, where there is a shift in the RSSI value at the first measurement was obtained average RSSI -73 dBm with a range distance of 2 m, the second measurement obtained an average RSSI value of -85 dBm at a distance of 3 m range. With these results it can be concluded that the human presence in the area of research is very influential on the performance positioning signal strength (RSSI) and the significant impact that the shift distance of up to 1 m.

Received Signal Strength Indication

Penelitian tentang posisi maupun jarak suatu obyek di dalam ruangan telah banyak dilakukan. Metode trilaterasi adalah salah satu metode yang dapat dipergunakan untuk menghitung nilai estimasi jarak atau posisi suatu obyek di dalam ruangan, berdasarkan nilai RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) yang diterima suatu receiver. Namun, nilai RSSI yang diterima tidak dapat stabil dikarenakan sinyal yang diterima oleh receiver sangat dipengaruhi kondisi lingkungan pada ruangan yang pada umumnya memiliki nilai noise yang cukup tinggi. Sehingga dapat berakibat pada nilai estimasi jarak yang diperoleh menjadi kurang akurat. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut maka setelah dilakukan perhitungan dengan trilaterasi, dilanjutkan dengan menambahkan metode Kalman Filter untuk meningkatkan nilai akurasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) sebagai transmitter, sedangkan receiver menggunakan smartphone yang sudah ter-install aplikasi untuk menerima nilai RSSI. Setelah menggunakan Kalman Filter diperoleh peningkatan nilai akurasi sebesar 0, 1 meter dari nilai perhitungan trilaterasi

One of the popular candidates in wireless technology for indoor positioning is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). However, this technology faces challenges related to Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) fluctuations due to the behavior of the different advertising channels and the effect of human body shadowing among other effects. In order to mitigate these effects, the paper proposes and implements a dynamic Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that uses the three different BLE advertising channels to detect human body shadowing and compensate the RSSI values accordingly. An experiment in an indoor office environment is conducted. 70% of the observations are randomly selected and used for training and the remaining 30% are used to evaluate the algorithm. The results show that the AI model can properly detect and significantly compensate RSSI values for a dynamic blockage caused by a human body. This can significantly improve the RSSI-based ranges and the corresponding positioning accuracies.

The employment of smartphone sensors for navigation applications and situational awareness on naval ships and in battlefield applications has been demonstrated. The PASSION application uses Wi-Fi, accelerometers, gyroscopes, QR codes, and manual entry on Android and iPhone tracking applications for ships. This paper primarily discusses supplementing the existing implementation with a new augmentation using Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE version 4.0). The characteristics of BTLE segregated ranging using Received Signal Strength measurements are explored. The sensitivity of BTLE RSS measurements to environmental factors such as placement, cases, orientation of the device, orientation of the Smartphone and intervening materials is quantified. Algorithms that employ BTLE measurements within the framework of the overall navigation positioning and tracking problem are discussed. Their possible utilization for situational awareness and collaborative navigation is discussed.
