Using wireless technologies, locating objects with very precise measures is hard. It is even harder when we want to locate indoor positions due to surrounding materials preventing signals to be received. With the help of Bluetooth low energy technology, we can locate indoor objects/people with more precision than using previous Bluetooth technologies. In this thesis, methods will be improved and implemented to achieve cost-effective precise indoor location.

Electromagnetic Scattering from Obstacles in the Near Field Region of Electrically Large Arrays Cetin, Ramazan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Nepa, Paolo; Manara, Giuliano (2009-09-18) In this paper, an efficient method for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering/radiation from the obstacles nearby electrically large array antennas, with nonuniform excitation, is proposed. The approach is based on the combination of a ray field representation of electrically large arrays and a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) based representation of array current distribution. Proposed method is applied to a 2D problem: Radiation of a linear array of 2N+1 infinitely long current elements with tapered c...
Smart Neighbor Scanning with Directional Antennas in 60 GHz Indoor Networks Olcer, Gencay Mutlu; Genc, Zulkuf; Onur, Ertan (2010-09-30) The 60 GHz technology has an immense potential to provide wireless communication at multi-gigabit rates. At 60 GHz frequency band, severe attenuation of the signals can significantly degrade communication performance. To cope with the attenuation problem, directional antennas with high directive gains can be utilized. When network nodes use directional antennas, the neighbor discovery process becomes more complicated and time consuming. To reduce the neighbor discovery time, we propose a smart neighbor scan...
Enhancing GPS positioning accuracy from the generation of ground-truth reference points for on-road urban navigation Bshara, Mussa; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik; Van Biesen, Leo (2012-09-14) The global positioning system (GPS) is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, which enable GPS receivers to determine their current location, the time, and their velocity [1]. Initially, the GPS was developed for military applications, but very quickly became the most used technology in positioning even for end-user applications run by individuals with no technical skills. GPS reading are us...
Optimal deployment in randomly deployed heterogeneous WSNs: A connected coverage approach SEVGİ, CÜNEYT; Koçyiğit, Altan (2014-11-01) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are resource-scarce networks and the optimization of the resources is challenging. As far as random deployment is concerned, the optimization of these resources becomes even more difficult In this paper, a novel framework is proposed for solving optimal deployment problems for randomly deployed and clustered WSNs. In several existing approaches to solve these problems, either only partial-coverage is considered or only connectivity is analyzed when full-coverage is assured. T...
Accuracy and efficiency improvements in iterative hybridization of the method of moments MoM and physical optics PO AKBAS, MUSTAFA; Alatan, Lale; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-04-15) Full-wave electromagnetic solutions of electrically large objects require large amounts of computer storage and CPU power. Therefore, full-wave techniques, such as the method of moments (MoM), are frequently hybridized with approximate methods like physical optics (PO). As a successful example of this approach, an efficient iterative MoM-PO (EI-MoM-PO) method, which effectively combines MoM and PO to reduce the computational time while providing acceptable accuracy, was proposed. In this paper, the multilev...
