Abstract
Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for indoor positioning systems as services based on location are very important in mobile applications. Since Global Positioning System (GPS) makes only outdoor positioning successful, there is a need of new approaches for indoor positioning systems. Some techniques on indoor positioning systems have been proposed in this scope, but they have not reached to the success of outdoor systems in terms of speed, consistency and power management. The aim of this study is to develop an indoor positioning system using latest Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This system consists of BLE sensor nodes, a mobile device and a mobile application that calculates indoor position by measuring the signal levels of the sensor nodes designed. BLE sensor nodes have low power consumption and can be powered by a coin battery. Since most consumers have a mobile phone today, the system can be used easily by installing a mobile application.

We focus on Texas Instruments’ CC254x Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stack that offers different system design options to the developer
An indoor positioning system is proposed that consists of BLE advertising nodes and a mobile application program
Summary
IN RECENT YEARS, the focus of navigation systems has shifted to indoor venues where people spend almost all of their free time. These systems can identify people and track their indoor position. The scope of these systems notably oriented for use in hospitals, malls, museums to monitor people and their behavior, to enhance their satisfaction, and to provide navigation ability. These systems should provide information about location economically and just in time like classical GPS navigation. This study aims to develop accurate and reliable indoor positioning system with power consumption
