“…C. Rationale of VLP Although some attempts have been made to qualitatively compare IPS [56], [57], a comprehensive in-depth comparison is still lacking in literature. Moreover, a comparison of IPS is not straightforward, as an IPS's two most looked-at characteristics, cost and accuracy, occur in a trade-off.…”

Indoor positioning technology has become undisputedly pervasive in modern society. It can be used for numerous applications in various environments, ranging from agriculture to smart industry. Among the different indoor positioning technologies, the development of the indoor visible light positioning (VLP) system has gained momentum recently thanks to its low cost and centimetre-order accuracy. Moreover, VLP is a promising candidate technology for integration with Light Fidelity (Li-Fi), which relies on the optical spectrum to build future wireless networks and plays a significant role in sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. This tutorial investigates VLP as a novel positioning technology in depth. The inherent characteristics and fundamentals of this technology are extensively described with the components of a VLP system and possible localization approaches being discussed. Furthermore, a mathematical and technical discussion of a simple minimum retrofit of the single photodiode (PD) received signal strength (RSS) VLP systems is provided. Finally, the paper concludes with open challenges and a future roadmap for VLP.

“…Various standards of the positioning technologies [6,[22][23][24], for example, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Channel State Information (CSI), fingerprinting/scene analysis, Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Return Time of Flight (RToF), and Phase of Arrival (PoA) of the received signal, have been proposed to enhance the indoor positioning accuracy. We adapted from [6,25,26] to summarize the signal properties, as shown in Table 1.…”

In recent years, smart homes have begun to use various sensors to detect the location of users indoors. However, such sensors may not be stable, resulting in high detection error rates. Thus, how to improve indoor positioning accuracy has become an important topic. This study explored Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon indoor positioning for smart home power management. A novel system framework using BLE Beacon was proposed to detect the user location, and to perform power management in the home through a mobile device application. Since the BLE Beacon may produce a multipath effect, this study used the positioning algorithm and hardware configuration to reduce the error rate. Location fingerprint positioning algorithm and filter modification were used to establish a positioning method for facilitating deployment, and to reduce the required computing resources. The experiments included an observation of the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) and selecting filters and a discussion of the relationship between the characteristics of the BLE Beacon signal accuracy and the number of the BLE Beacons deployed in the observation space. The BLE Beacon multilateration positioning was combined with the In-Snergy intelligent energy management system for smart home power management. The contribution of this study is to allow users to enjoy smart home services based on their location within the home using a mobile device application.

“…These are designed to provide accurate positioning information for indoor environments, where GPS signals [1] may be obstructed by buildings, walls, and other structures, and as a result, their accuracy may be affected. There are numerous techniques which can be used, such as Wi-Fi fingerprinting, BLE [2] beacons, ultrasonic [3] systems infrared systems [4], and many more. These systems enable tracking [5] and locating people or assets within a confined space, where global positioning system (GPS) signals are not accessible.…”

Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) have caught popular attention in recent years as a result of their capacity to provide location-based services in interior locations where GPS signals are unable to provide meaningful information. However, with a plethora of IPS technologies available, selecting a fitting solution for a specific application can be a daunting task. The objective of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of the various forms of indoor positioning systems, such as Wi-Fi fingerprinting, Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons, ultrasonic, infrared, and magnetic-based systems based on their accuracy, reliability, deployment cost, scalability, and power consumption. The results show that the choice of IPS technology depends on the application requirements, with no single solution outperforming the others in all aspects. Based on this, a selection procedure has been devised to select the most appropriate IPS technology.
