Title: Device-location estimation based on RSSI measurements over WIFI and bluetooth
Inventor: VAIBHAV DINESH
IPC: G01S11/06
Filed: 2016-08-23
Abstract: A locating system for a transmitter such as a device using WiFi and/or Bluetooth includes three or more sensors (receivers) in an equilateral triangle which determine the received signal strength (RSS, RSSI). In a learning phase signals from devices at known positions are measured over a period of time to give an expected range of RSSI values for each of a number of distances (ranges). Curves representing upper and lower limits are plotted. Subsequently measured RSSI values are used to estimate a range of distances from each sensor (receiver), and thus an area where the device can be estimated to be located. The centroid of this may be taken to be the device location. RSSI values may be transmitted to a central server where the location is determined.
