Journal ArticleDOI
Improving BLE Beacon Proximity Estimation Accuracy Through Bayesian Filtering
TL;DR: In this article, a mobile application is developed along with three Bayesian filtering techniques to improve the BLE beacon proximity estimation accuracy, including a Kalman filter, a particle filter, and a nonparametric information (NI) filter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Performance evaluation of beacons for indoor localization in smart buildings
Andrew Mackey,Petros Spachos +1 more
TL;DR: This paper compares three popular beacons, presents a simple mobile application based Kalman filter, and explores the correlation between transmit power and desiredKalman filter parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smart Parking System Based on Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons With Particle Filtering
TL;DR: In this article, a parking system based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and particle filtering is proposed for both indoor and outdoor parking spaces, which is able to correctly predict which spot the user has parked in, as well as estimate the distance of the user from the beacon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy efficiency and accuracy of solar powered BLE beacons
Petros Spachos,Andrew Mackey +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental results shown that solar powered BLE beacon is a promising solution with minimum energy requirements and high accuracy, compared with battery powered beacons.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
LoRa-based Localization System for Emergency Services in GPS-less Environments
Andrew Mackey,Petros Spachos +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces a low-power and low-cost substitute founded on Long Range (LoRa) to realize similar localization capabilities, based on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) techniques.
