Automatic calibration for log normal path loss model based on Bluetooth low energy beacons
This paper describes automatic calibration procedure for indoor lateration technique based on log normal signal propagation model using Android based mobile device. The usage of signal propagation models for indoor localization requires calibration phase because the path loss model parameters take into account multipath propagation, shadowing and fading influences. This phase of such indoor localization technique using signal propagation model can be eliminated by automated procedure of parameter calibration. For this objective Bluetooth Low Energy beacon proximity zones and smartphone built in sensors can be used.
