LPS System Architecture

LPS, Testing Results The System Coverage Maximum distance from tag to BS - up to 35 meters indoor Maximum distance from beacon to BS - up to 35 meters indoor Maximum distance from beacon to BS - up to 35 meters indoor Service area with 40 meters x 40 meters covered by 5 BSs Service area with 40 meters x 40 meters covered by 5 BSs Positioning Accuracy Multi-path indoor interference is strongly impact on position accuracy Average positioning accuracy is about 6 – 7 meters Average positioning accuracy is about 6 – 7 meters Positioning accuracy is not enough Positioning accuracy is not enough Wireless Communication Wireless communications between BSs and LPS Server b Maximum distance from BS to BS – up to 35 meters indoor Maximum distance from BS to BS – up to 35 meters indoor LPS Devices Base Station Prototype based on PC and Evaluation Boards Tag and Beacon size and power consumption is rather big Tag and Beacon size and power consumption is rather big

The goal of the project is to develop embedded low-cost low-size Local Positioning System (LPS), which allows indoor locating of mobile objects The E-LPS Project based on LPS, 2003 Project results Current project must solve two main problems: - to reduce size and costs of LPS device - to improve accuracy of tag positioning Main issues: passive hyperbolic navigation - passive hyperbolic navigation - using beacons - WLAN b connections between BS and LPS server - frequency band – 2.4 GHz ISM - FCC compliance - positioning accuracy – about 2.0 meters E-LPS Project Goal
