What is it about?
With the rapid increase in data and multimedia services, demand for positioning has increased especially in complex indoor environment which often needs to determine the location information of the mobile terminal. There is a lack of accuracy and robustness in current indoor positioning system.

Why is it important?
This paper designs and implements an indoor positioning system based on iBeacon. We adopt Gaussian filter and Unscented Kalman filter method to robustly extract strong signals from iBeacon device. With the extracted signals, we compared them with-in database. The goal of this paper is to design and implement a mobile-based indoor location system which has the mobile applications with the Bluetooth Low Energy technology based on the iBeacon. Using a mobile terminal our system can show position results. Moreover, our system can run on both Android systems and IOS ones.
Perspectives
Our method has better performance compared with WiFi method. The experimental results demonstrates that the error is only within 4 meters and our system can achieve accurate and robust positioning.
