“…Among the many methods utilized for indoor localization, the Decawave (2020) commercial system was used ( Figure 3 ). Decawave's UWB evaluation kit (MDEK1001) is very simple to install, requiring just the configuration of a network of beacons (anchors) and devices (tags) ( Simedroni et al., 2020 ). The beacons are installed in the environment above walls and ceilings, while the tags are inserted into the nurses' pockets.…”

Nurses' satisfaction with their work environment is critical for delivering high-quality healthcare services. Hospitals that want to improve the job performance of their nurses must establish a supportive work environment for them. Hospitals should encourage nurses to take an active role in making decisions about their work environment. The findings from this study will contribute to the existing literature from a cross-cultural perspective.

“…As a result, the real‐time locating system (RTLS) based on ultra‐wideband (UWB) was the most adequate technology for the purpose of this research 49,51‐55 . Based on both the comparisons conducted by other authors 56 and our analysis and available resources, a Decawave ® 57 equipment was chosen as there were experimental precedents in several spaces and situations 58‐65 . This equipment is an ultra‐wideband network constituted by fixed nodes (anchors) and moving nodes (tags).…”

[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] This equipment is an ultra-wideband network constituted by fixed nodes (anchors) and moving nodes (tags). Regarding the accuracy, although manufacturers' technical requirements indicate ± 10 centimeters and second intervals, other indications were also considered.…”

One of the main modes of transmission and propagation of COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is the direct contact with respiratory droplets transmitted among individuals at a certain distance. There are indoor spaces, such as dwellings, in which the transmission risk is high. This research aims to record and analyze risk close contacts in this scope, experimentally assessing the effectiveness of using electronic proximity warning sound devices or systems. For this purpose, the methodology is based on monitoring the location of the occupants of a dwelling. Then, the days in which a proximity warning sound system is installed and activated are compared to the days in which the system is not activated. The results stressed the significant reduction of time and number of close contacts among individuals when the warning was activated. Regarding the relation between the number and the duration of close contacts, together with the reductions mentioned, the possibility of making certain predictions based on the distributions obtained is proved. All this contributes to the progress in the prevention of COVID‐19 transmission because of close contacts in dwellings.

“…It has been reported that DecaWave technology behaves better under NLoS conditions than other options such as BeSpoon or Ubisense in terms of reliability and accuracy [8]. This is probably because DecaWave technology is the newest system providing the latest indoor localization techniques achieving centimeter range accuracy [39][40][41]. Among DecaWave technology options [42], two evaluation kits are available: MDEK1001 and EVK1000.…”

Wireless Characterization and Assessment of an UWB-Based System in Industrial Environments

et al. 2021

The advent of Indsutrial Internet of Things is one of the main drivers for the implementation of Industry 4.0 scenarios and applications, in which wireless communication systems play a key role in terms of flexibility, mobility and deployment capabilities. However, the integration of wireless communication systems poses challenges, owing to variable path loss conditions and interference impact. In this work, an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) system for indoor location in very large, complex industrial scenarios is presented. Precise wireless channel characterization for the complete volume of a logistical plant is performed, based on 3D hybrid ray launching approximation, in order to aid network node design process. Wireless characterization, implementation and measurement results are obtained for both 4 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands, considering different densities of scatterers within the scenario under test. Time domain estimation results have been obtained and compared with time of flight measurement results, showing good agreement. The proposed methodology enables to perform system design and performance tasks, analyzing the impact of variable object density conditions in wireless channel response, providing accurate time of flight estimations without the need of complex channel sounder systems, aiding in optimal system planning and implementation.
