研究目的
To propose a two-step model-based indoor positioning algorithm based on Bluetooth Low-Energy, demonstrating the benefit of fusing RSSI and Time-of-Flight measurement data for improved ranging and positioning accuracy.
研究成果
The proposed two-step algorithm significantly improves indoor positioning accuracy by fusing RSSI and ToF data, demonstrating a 50% reduction in mean RMS ranging error compared to RSSI-only approaches. The solution is computationally efficient and suitable for embedded platforms.
研究不足
The study is limited by the resolution of the internal timer and BLE transceiver, which affects the accuracy of ToF measurements. Additionally, the environment's complexity and temporary NLOS conditions may impact performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a two-step model-based indoor positioning algorithm using Bluetooth Low-Energy. The first step involves a Kalman Filter for fusing RSSI and Time-of-Flight measurement data. The second step combines distance estimates from multiple anchors into a quadratic cost function for positioning.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Experiments were conducted in a hall using six SensorTag devices as anchor nodes and a target node connected to a laptop.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 for ToF measurements, Texas Instruments CC2650 SensorTag devices as anchors, and a laptop for data collection.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The target node collected RSSI and ToF data while moving in the hall. The data was processed using the proposed algorithm to estimate distances and positions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance was evaluated based on ranging and positioning accuracy, comparing RSSI-only and KF-based approaches.
