Abstract

With the rapid increase in the demand for indoor positioning, such as warehouse logistics, emergency search and rescue, indoor positioning technology has become a hotspot of current research. However, due to the complex indoor environment, obvious multipath effects, and high cost of positioning equipment, indoor positioning systems based on infrared and ultrasonic technologies have not been able to be widely promoted. In response to this problem, this paper proposes indoor positioning solution using Bluetooth technology. In this system scheme, the ibeacon base station is composed of a low-power Bluetooth 4.0 module. A certain number of Bluetooth base stations are evenly deployed in the rooms that need to be located. Each Bluetooth base station can automatically search for the broadcast of the ibeacon beacon, and obtain the location-dependent Universally Unique Identifier (UUID ) number and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value. Then on the labview platform, the location of the point to be measured is completed through a three-sided positioning algorithm. The experimental results show that the positioning accuracy of the system scheme is within 1m, which can meet the requirements of most indoor positioning.
