Indoor Location System using Bluetooth LE

Abstract

This thesis deals with designing a Bluetooth Low Energy localization system. The first part describes the concept and theory behind Bluetooth Low Energy. Afterwards the State of Art is presented with several papers and solutions. Subsequently the designed solution is presented. In this chapter the Bluetooth LE devices used to test the solution are shown along with software options available for these devices. Following are chapters describing two Android applications. The first is used to perform calibration process for beacons and fingerprints. And the second is used for performing localization in cooperation with a cloud application. In the next chapter the server side for the cloud application is presented. Lastly the experiment format and measurement results along with the accuracy achieved by the designed solution is discussed.
