Abstract

As the Bluetooth technology evolves to its 4.0 version, great applicational opportunities emerge based on the inquiry of Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI). In this paper, a positioning algorithm using Bluetooth Low Energy RSSI is proposed for indoor application. First in our algorithm, RSSI value is pre-processed: outliers of RSSI are removed, and moving average of RSSI is calculated. Then distance is determined using pre-processed RSSI and Kalman filtering. Finally, a triangulation algorithm is used to calculate the current location of the mobile device. Experiment results show that our algorithm achieves positioning accuracy of 0.2~0.5m.
