A well-known, crucial problem for indoor positioning of mobile agents (eg, robots) equipped
with exteroceptive sensors is related to the need to deploy reference landmarks in a given …

In large-scale deployments of indoor positioning systems (IPSs), a major practical challenge
is determining the placement of a minimal number of beacons to ensure full localization …

Accurate indoor positioning is vital for many indoor autonomous systems. This article
focuses on the influence of beacon placement on overall positioning quality in cluttered …

The paper describes an end-to-end system for optimal Bluetooth beacon deployment in an
indoor environment. The system allows accurate indoor positioning in realistic scenarios …

The indoor crowd density monitoring system using BLE beacons is one of the effective ways
to prevent overcrowded indoor situations. The indoor crowd density monitoring system …

The safety of children is one of the fundamental concerns of parents. Recently, child
kidnap** has increased by a large percentage, some children have been found, and …

An important capability of most smart, Internet-of-Things-enabled spaces (eg, office, home,
