Indoor Positioning System

In recent years, smartphones have become more popular. Along with the increasing number of smartphone users, more features are requested by the users which can be used to solve their daily life problems. One of the most popular applications is related to location-based detection. Almost all smartphones have a feature of Global Positioning System (GPS). It can help users to go from one place to another place without getting lost by connecting to Google Map. However, there are some limitations to the GPS. When the GPS is used inside a building, it is difficult to search where the users are located, on which floor or room they are, and how to access the room inside the building. It is because GPS cannot show the user which level or room location the users are currently at. One of the possible solutions is using an Indoor Positioning System (IPS) which can detect an object or person inside a building by producing some signals that can be received by smartphones. This research aims to develop an application to monitor the movement of humans inside a building with low cost and low energy by using Android smartphones as the medium. It can get the coordinate of location by using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon inside the building. It can also be used to detect multiple users in the same room.

Building a precise low cost indoor positioning and navigation wireless system is a challenging task. The accuracy and cost should be taken together into account. Especially, when we need a system to be built in a harsh environment. In recent years, several researches have been implemented to build different indoor positioning system (IPS) types for human movement using wireless commercial sensors. The aim of this paper is to prove that it is not always the case that having a larger number of anchor nodes will increase the accuracy. Two and three anchor nodes of ultra-wide band with or without the commercial devices (DW 1000) could be implemented in this work to find the Localization of objects in different indoor positioning system, for which the results showed that sometimes three anchor nodes are better than two and vice versa. It depends on how to install the anchor nodes in an appropriate scenario that may allow utilizing a smaller number of anchors while maintaining the required accuracy and cost.

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.
