Using Calibration Pinpoints as a means of indoor location of smart devices

Duration : 7 months (Jan-2010 till July-2010)
MSc Student : Dennis Kanon
Simon Takens
Summary : The usage of the IEEE 802.11 standard and its signal strength is often documented as a good way to fine one’s distance from an access point with relative ease in a perfect environment. The Distance from three of these access points can then be used to locate a single spot in this environment with a precision of a meter or less. This is more than enough for an indoor location system to find such a smart device’s position. The students will explore this idea and try to prove it through implementing such a system.
