Abstract
Nowadays, indoor positioning services of mobile phone with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons are increasingly used. However, due to the indoor environment has dense multipath fading, the positioning system has low accuracy. In this paper, the accuracy study of trilateration method for indoor positioning with BLE beacons is presented. The indoor environment room with 9.0 m width, 10.2 m length and 3 BLE beacons is studied. The received signal strength (RSS) of each BLE beacon is measured by using mobile phone. The distance between each BLE beacon and mobile phone is evaluated using channel model. After that, the trilateration method is used to approximate the position of mobile phone. The accuracies, which are obtained from one, average five and average ten measurements, are studied. The distance errors of all positions and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the distance error are calculated and shown. The results show that the average multiple measurements tend to decrease the distance error.
