The system could be based on the users' hardware or fitted with a
separate device that connects with the users' gadgets from a technological
standpoint. We present an implementation of a system in this chapter that
intends to track the current location of user devices in buildings (e.g.,
shopping malls) without the users' explicit knowledge. As a result, the
placement procedure will be focused mostly on the administrator's
infrastructure, and there will be no option to install dedicated software on
localized devices. These assumptions imply that the suggested solution
should be based on measurements of the power of the radio signal's
Received Signal Strength (RSS) under various technologies that are most
commonly used by consumers. At the same time, RSS is measured during
normal operation of monitored devices (for example, when updating the list
of active Wi-Fi access points) and does not use any special features that
require application layer support. In most circumstances, using location
technologies that require support (interaction) from the localized device is
inefficient, as this strategy results in a large reduction in the number of
monitored devices (only belong to users who have consciously made the
appropriate configuration).
The suggested platform groups the investigated technologies into an
open and programmable platform at the control plane (MAC and routing
layers), which is easily adaptable to actual requirements from equipment
positioning system managers. As a result, software will be used to implement
full support for each radio technology, eliminating the requirement for
specialized hardware resources. As a result, instead of closed, pricey ZigBee
solutions, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard will be able to be used, resulting in
lower product costs.
The obvious advantage of adopting a single hardware platform and
software-level technology support (rather than expensive hardware
acceleration) is a significant reduction in transmission and reception costs.
As a result, many more antennas may be installed in a given area,
greatly improving location accuracy.
