Indoor positioning and navigation is very challenging as current technologies do not allows continuous and seamless 3D navigation. Indoor positioning and mobility are key features for the implementation of location-based services (LBS). LBS require user location data on-the-fly in order to provide its service and other information in a timely fashion. Most commonly used indoor localization techniques involve one or more of the following sensor technologies, infra-red (IR), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Ultrasound, Ultra Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth, and IEEE 802.11 (WiFi).In this project we propose to investigate the use of Bluetooth wireless technology for indoor positioning considering that most mobile phones are equipped with Bluetooth. The indoor positioning system will be using low cost stationary beacons and mobile devices. Through this project a Bluetooth indoor positioning system will be implemented and validated using a known building 3D geometry. To obtain accurate position of the mobile users, methodology will be developed for the optimum placement of the beacons network based on density and range. The position accuracy will be determined based on the various Bluetooth localization methods. Fusion of location methods and or location technologies will be also investigated.

室内定位和导航非常具有挑战性，因为当前技术不允许连续和无缝的3D导航。室内定位和移动性是实现基于位置的服务（LBS）的关键特征。LBS需要用户的实时位置数据，以便及时提供其服务和其他信息。最常用的室内定位技术涉及一个或多个以下传感器技术，红外（IR），射频识别（RFID），超声波，超宽带（UWB），蓝牙，和IEEE 802.11（WiFi）。在这个项目中，我们建议研究使用蓝牙无线技术进行室内定位考虑到大多数移动的手机都配备了蓝牙。室内定位系统将使用低成本的固定信标和移动的设备。通过该项目，将使用已知的建筑物3D几何形状来实现和验证蓝牙室内定位系统。为了获得移动的用户的准确位置，将根据密度和范围制定信标网络最佳位置的方法。定位精度将根据各种蓝牙定位方法确定。还将研究定位方法和/或定位技术的融合。
