Bluetooth-based Indoor Localization
FY 2014-15
Summary
Indoor localization, which is used to locate indoor objects, is an emerging technology that has attracted muchattention over the past years. EMCC Electronics Inc., our industry partner, would like to come up with theirunique indoor localization solution. The Global Position System (GPS) has been widely utilized to locatevaried objects in outdoor environments. However, GPS requires the line of sight to the satellites and thereforestops working when the line of sight is not available in an indoor environment. The limitation of GPS hasmotivated many researchers to devise a variety of different localization schemes. EMCC's vision is that theBluetooth-based indoor localization method is a promising approach. In this project, we are planning topropose and implement a high-precision indoor localization scheme based on Bluetooth.
