本地定位系统（LPS）在商业和科学上都吸引了很多关注，因为它们代表了全球定位系统到室内场景的自然延伸。在此背景下使用的所有可行的无线技术中，WiFi和蓝牙是最广泛扩展的。选择这些技术也是因为它们简单、成本低并且可以集成到移动的设备中。新的蓝牙规范（称为低功耗蓝牙（BLE））的出现，以及新的流行设备的出现，为基于BLE的新LPS无线解决方案打开了大门。在这里，我们评估BLE用于室内定位场景的可行性。此外，我们开发了一个框架来分析，理解和帮助迁移以前的LPS系统，基于其他技术，BLE。我们的实验表明，适当配置的BLE设备，可以获得很大的性能方面的发现时间和能源消耗。版权所有（c）2014约翰威利父子有限公司
Local positioning systems (LPS) are attracting much attention, both commercially and scientifically, as they represent a natural extension of global positioning systems to indoor scenarios. Amongst all the viable wireless technologies used in this context, WiFi and Bluetooth are the most widely extended. These technologies are also chosen for their simplicity, low cost and integration into mobile devices. The appearance of the new Bluetooth specification, named Bluetooth low energy (BLE), and the emergence of new popular devices that incorporate it, opens the door to new LPS wireless solutions based on BLE. Here, we evaluate the viability of BLE for indoor positioning scenarios. In addition, we develop a framework to analyse, understand and help migrate previous LPS systems, based on other technologies, to BLE. We show experimentally that, with proper configuration of the BLE devices, great performance can be obtained in terms of discovery time and energy consumption.
