Positioning Accuracy of Commercial Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon

摘要

This research presents the positioning accuracy of various commercially available BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) beacon devices. Accurate data is obtained from beacon devices for indoor positioning taken from various mobile devices with BLE support. We utilize RSSI data to determine distances without any filter in order to present raw performance of the devices. The average result is not too deviate by various kinds of bluetooth beacons being tested. Compared to other related work, our data show nearly similar result. Our result shows various accuracy from 0.07 meters and up to 7.81 meters.
