Currently, there is an urgent need for indoor positioning technology. Considering the complexity of indoor environment, this paper proposes a new positioning algorithm (N-CHAN) via the analysis of the error of arrival time positioning (TOA) and the channels of S-V model. It overcomes an obvious shortcoming that the accuracy of traditional CHAN algorithm effected by no-line-of-sight (NLOS). Finally, though MATLAB software simulation, we prove that N-CHAN’s superior performance in NLOS in the S-V channel model, which has a positioning accuracy of centimeter-level and can effectively eliminate the influence of NLOS error on positioning accuracy. Moreover, the N-CHAN can effectively improve the positioning accuracy of the system, especially in the conditions of larger NLOS error.

With the development of the Internet of Things and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), indoor positioning technology as an important part of positioning technology, has been attracting much attention in recent years. In order to solve the problems of low precision, high cost and signal collision between readers, a new indoor positioning algorithm based on a single RFID reader combined with a Double-order Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) are proposed in this paper. Firstly, the reader is moved along the specified direction to collect the sequential tag data. Then, the tag’s coordinate is taken as the target value to train models and compare them with existing algorithms. Finally, the best Gated Recurrent Unit positioning model is used to estimate the position of the tags. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve positioning accuracy, reduce the number of readers, cut down the cost and eliminate the collisions of reader signals.

In this article, we use a low-power iBeacon network to conduct an in-depth analysis and research on the principle of indoor positioning and adopt an efficient and fast positioning algorithm. Secondly, based on the obtained analysis, an iBeacon-based indoor positioning system is proposed to analyze how to use iBeacon for accurate positioning and whether it can effectively compensate for the current mainstream positioning system. We analyze the requirements of the iBeacon-based indoor positioning system and propose the design of this positioning system. We analyze the platform and environment for software development, design the general framework of the positioning system, and analyze the logical structure of the whole system, the structure of data flow, and the communication protocols between each module of the positioning system. Then, we analyze the functions of the server module and the client module of the system, implement the functions of each module separately, and debug the functions of each module separately after each module is implemented. The feasibility of the algorithm and the performance improvement are confirmed by the experimental data. Our results show that the communication distance is improved by approximately 20.25% and the accuracy is improved by 5.62% compared to other existing results.
