An Improved Fusion Indoor Localization Method Using Bluetooth and Motion Sensor
Abstract— In this paper, we describe an accurate and practical method about the localization of pedestrians in the indoor environment using Bluetooth technique. We introduce a whole system designed for overcoming the multipath effect of wireless signal to obtain the accurate location. Three major improvements have been made to the three most important procedures of localization algorithm. Our approach is designed for daily scenarios of multiple facilities, such as shopping mall and hospital. The proposed approach is tested on mobile devices, and the results of test show that the system is reliable and suitable for indoor localization in aiming scenarios. The error obtained is 0.336 0.102 m, guaranteeing the accuracy of this method.
