These apps make decisions based on whether two users are in close proximity (e.g., within 6 ft) according to the distance measured from the received signal strength (RSSI ) of Bluetooth. This paper provides a detailed study of the current practice of RSSI -based distance measurements among contact tracing apps by analyzing various factors that can affect the RSSI value and how each app has responded to them. Our analysis shows that configurations for the signal transmission power (TxPower ) and broadcasting intervals that affect RSSI vary significantly across different apps and a large portion of apps do not consider these affecting factors at all, or with quite limited tuning.},

abstract = {Over the last few years, indoor localization has been a very dynamic research area that has drawn great attention. Many methods have been proposed for indoor positioning as well as navigation services. A big number of them were based on Radio frequency (RF) technology and Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for their simplicity of use. The main issues of the studies conducted in this field are related to the improvement of localization factors like accuracy, computational complexity, easiness of deployment and cost. In our study, we used Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for indoor localization in the context of a smart home where an elderly person can be located using an hybrid system that combines radio, light and sound information. In this paper, we propose a model that averages the received signal strength indication (RSSI) at any distance domain which offered accuracy down to 0.4 meters, depending on the deployment configuration.},

abstract = {Distance estimation and proximity classification techniques are essential for numerous IoT applications and in providing efficient services in smart cities. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is designed for IoT devices, and its received signal strength indicator (RSSI) has been used in distance and proximity estimation, though they are noisy and unreliable. In this study, we leverage the BLE TX power level in BLE models.We adopt a comparative analysis framework that utilizes our extensive data library of measurements. It considers commonly used state-of-the-art model, in addition to our data-driven proposed approach. The RSSI and TX power are integrated into several parametric models such as log shadowing and Android Beacon library models, and machine learning models such as linear regression, decision trees, random forests and neural networks. Specific mobile apps are developed for the study experiment. We have collected more than 1.8 millions of BLE records between encounters with various distances that range from 0.5 to 22 meters in an indoor environment. Interestingly, considering TX power when estimating the distance reduced the mean errors by up to 46\% in parametric models and by up to 35\% in machine learning models. Also, the proximity classification accuracy increased by up to 103\% and 70\% in parametric and machine learning models, respectively. This work is one of the first studies (if not the first) that analyze in depth the TX power variations in improving the distance estimation and classification.},

abstract = {The development of Internet of Things technology has connected the smart things to the Internet, enabling users to interact for different applications such as indoor positioning or location-based notification service. To improve the user experience, an accurate distance estimation is required to ensure the interaction can be delivered precisely. For general beacon-based application, the objects keep moving while they are interacting with the beacons. Therefore, their mobility needs to be considered for distance estimation. In this paper, comprehensive experiments are conducted to study the relationship between distance estimation accuracy and packet received rate from two angels, the beacon advertising interval and the object moving speed. Moreover, an improved distance estimation method using Kalman filter and support vector regression is proposed, which has archived at least 40\% improvement comparing to current approaches. The proposed idea is also implemented in real-world application which archive less than 100μs computation time.},

abstract = {Indoor positioning through Smart Bluetooth (Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE) sensors is a promising new field, where noisy data and outliers make challenging even the simplest distance estimates. The power of the BLE signal is known to be highly unstable even when measurement conditions remain unchanged and statistics on repeated measurements are required in order to have a good confidence in the obtained short-range distance estimates. This work proposes a stack of corrections based on non-parametric and robust statistics as a preprocessing step on the measured data, such that both the calibration and the range estimation processes improve their accuracy. According to experiments, robust and non-parametric statistics are able to handle effectively the severe noise involved in RSSI measurements, reaching most of the times a sub-meter precision.},

abstract = {Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and BLE-based devices such as iBeacons have become popular recently. In this work, an optimized indoor positioning approach using BLE for detecting a smart device's location in an indoor environment is proposed. The first stage of the proposed approach is a calibration stage for initialization. The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is collected and pre-processed for a stable outcome, in the second stage. Then the distance is estimated by using the processed RSSI and calibrated factors in the third stage. The final stage is the position estimation using the outputs from the previous steps. The positioning technique, which is an improved Least Square estimation is evaluated against the other well-known techniques such as, Trilateration-Centroid, classic Least Square Estimation in estimating the user's location in the 2D plane. Experimental results show that our proposed approach has promising results by achieving an accuracy of positioning within 0.2 to 0.35m.},

Radio frequency (RF) signals are suitable for being used for positioning because of their ubiquity and imperceptibility. This paper utilizes the information from the baseband of a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) transceiver for angle estimation and signal strength for distance estimation. The scheme constitutes a single-anchor based solution to calculate the position of a client. It significantly reduces the cost of installation by avoiding traditional methods like multilateration or triangulation that require three or more anchors, even in a small space. To improve the performance, we design a fusion algorithm based on a Kalman filter to integrate measurements of the anchor station and simplified pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) results from the client. Experiments show that the proposed solution estimates positions in high precision without initial user location or heading information. The mean error of the implementation is less than 1 m and can be improved to less than 0.5 m with a precise ranging measurement.},

Inaccurate occupancy information could result in a low comfort level and an energy waste. Existing occupancy detecting system relies on indirect and low-resolution environmental sensors, which potentially mislead facility managers and result in inefficiency in building energy use. In this study, the authors proposed a novel occupancy detection approach through a coupled indoor positioning system. The system integrates conventional k-nearest neighbor positioning algorithm and stochastic random walk algorithm to collect high-resolution occupancy data through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) networks. The proposed system is able to identify the meshed geospatial distribution of occupants, and to future track their movements in a network covered space. The detected occupancy meshes are suitable for direct implementation in building facility management since their operation is based on thermal zones rather than occupants' coordinates. To validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed system, the authors conducted a preliminary experiment in an institutional building. By comparing the positioning distance measurement metrics and matching parameters, the authors found the occupancy information detected by the proposed model is highly precise, accurate and reliable for the application in the building energy management.},

This paper proposes a new approach based on monitoring variations of the received RSSI and dynamic calibration of the BT nodes to adapt to these variations. In order to further enhance the accuracy, a fuzzy logic unit has been designed to perceive the situations when the BT node is in proximity to one of the reference nodes available in an environment. Testing results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the performance of the indoor positioning compared to other known methods. Results show that the new approach is able to locate objects in the indoor environment with an average error of 1.27 m, which is sufficient for many indoor positioning applications.},

Kommentar davidgyoung:
It is very difficult to accurately determine distance by Bluetooth RSSI measured between two phones because there is a huge variation in the way different phone models measure bluetooth signals. Check out this graph produced by the Open Trace folks behind the effort in Singapore:
Those variations are consistent with my work in this area for the Android Beacon Library open source project. The fragmentation of Android devices has made it impossible to keep up with all the variations in signal strength response.
One point that the Open Trace team did not address in their work, is that there are a number of different bluetooth channels, and RSSI varies greatly on a given phone depending on which channel is being used. Mobile phones give you no indication of what channel the radio was on when a measurement was taken. The channel difference probably accounts for much of the "height" of the blue bars in the graph.
Unfortunately, there is no way to know if a device is approaching or stationary by reading RSSI updates. The changes could be because of natural variation, motion, or changes in obstacles. I do not believe self-calibration in a contact tracing app is viable.
This does not mean that RSSI is worthless for distance estimates, but it does mean that the margin of error is very high in what you can measure. If you see a device at all, there is a very good chance it is within 50 meters. And if you see that the RSSI is stronger than -70 dBm, there is a good chance you are within 2 meters. But there will always be false positives and false negatives.

abstract = {Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the iBeacons have recently gained large interest for enabling various proximity-based application services. Given the ubiquitously deployed nature of Bluetooth devices including mobile smartphones, using BLE and iBeacon technologies seemed to be a promising future to come. This work started off with the belief that this was true: iBeacons could provide us with the accuracy in proximity and distance estimation to enable and simplify the development of many previously difficult applications. However, our empirical studies with three different iBeacon devices from various vendors and two types of smartphone platforms prove that this is not the case. Signal strength readings vary significantly over different iBeacon vendors, mobile platforms, environmental or deployment factors, and usage scenarios. This variability in signal strength naturally complicates the process of extracting an accurate location/proximity estimation in real environments. Our lessons on the limitations of iBeacon technique lead us to design a simple class attendance checking application by performing a simple form of geometric adjustments to compensate for the natural variations in beacon signal strength readings. We believe that the negative observations made in this work can provide future researchers with a reference on how well of a performance to expect from iBeacon devices as they enter their system design phases.},

abstract = {Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is one of the RF-based technologies that has been utilizing Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) in indoor position location systems (IPS) for decades. Its recent signal stability and propagation distance improvement inspired us to conduct this project. Beacons and scanners used two Bluetooth specifications, BLE 5.0 and 4.2, for experimentations. The measurement paradigm consisted of three segments, RSSIdistance conversion, multi-beacon in-plane, and diverse directional measurement. The analysis methods applied to process the data for precise positioning included the Signal propagation model, Trilateration, Modification coefficient, and Kalman filter. As the experiment results showed, the positioning accuracy could reach 10 cm when the beacons and scanners were at the same horizontal plane in a less-noisy environment. Nevertheless, the positioning accuracy dropped to a meter-scale accuracy when the measurements were executed in a three-dimensional configuration and complex environment. According to the analysis results, the BLE wireless signal strength is susceptible to interference in the manufacturing environment but still workable on certain occasions. In addition, the Bluetooth 5.0 specifications seem more promising in bringing brightness to RTLS applications in the future, due to its higher signal stability and better performance in lower interference environments.},

The SDK typically provides to developers an easy way to extract this data and use it to implement their algorithms. However, RSSI based localization techniques have known limits. An alternative information to be used in ranging for localization purposes is Time-of-Flight (ToF). Still, this data is not provided by the BLE API, therefore we propose a practical approach for ToF extraction on top of BLE to be used as alternative to or in combination with RSSI. Furthermore, with the paper, we release the sources of the library used to perform the ToF measurement on BLE, that can be used per se or as input for a localization algorithm. We tested the measurements indoor and outdoor at different distances, both considering Line-of-Sight free or occluded by user body. We conclude evaluating ranging performance, test repeatability and comparing the obtained results with the popular RSSI based approach.},

abstract = {From the point of view of safety applications, accurate and reliable positioning system for road users is the most important part. Although GPSs are the most widely utilized technology today, they still have the problems of performance degradation caused by multipath propagation in urban canyons. This study proposes an approach to estimate position by searching around the result of GPS. The proposed algorithm evaluates the pseudoranges of the possible multipath signals by referring to the building geometry. The assumed position is estimated by using received pseudoranges and is evaluated by the likelihood of the possible positioning error and filtering algorithm. The proposed method was verified through field experiments in urban canyons in Tokyo.},

By creating new depth sensors, we can provide developers with the tools that they need to create immersive mobile applications that take advantage of the 3D nature of our world. In this paper, we propose a new sonar sensor for smart phones. This sonar sensor does not require any additional hardware, and utilizes the phones microphone and rear speaker. The sonar sensor calculates distances by measuring the elapsed time between the initial pulse and its reflection. We evaluate the accuracy of the sonar sensor by using it to measure the distance from the phone to an object. We found that we were able to measure the distances of objects accurately with an error bound of 12 centimeters.},

Indoor remote positioning is a key innovation that allows local agencies to work successfully indoors, where the Global Positioning System (GPS) has historically failed. Bluetooth has been commonly used in handheld devices such as tablets and PDAs. The economic potential of Bluetooth -based indoor positioning is immense. Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) may be used to remotely locate a computer. RSS will now be discovered without pre-association thanks to the latest Bluetooth protocol (as of version 2.1). This article initially discussed the general wireless positioning innovations field unit. At that stage, the RSS-based Bluetooth position with the most recent component is being considered. The numerical model is designed to investigate the interaction between RSS feeds as well as the differences between two Bluetooth systems. Bluetooth systems are located using three distance-based measurements: the Three-Boundary and Centroid Methods, as well as the Least Squares Estimation (LSE). The examination results are dissected, and techniques for improving position accuracy are examined.},

abstract = {Location based services are very popular nowadays. However, indoor location identification is a big challenge. Many different solutions are proposed for indoor mapping however, most of these require additional hardware are also not very accurate. One of these solutions is use of received signal strength indication (RSSI) values for location mapping. Theoretically, it is possible to triangulate the location by tagging specific location point with different signal strengths received from multiple access points however this technique has many issues. It is affected by many factors like layout of the building, furniture, number of people in the area. Moreover, reflection of signals from the walls also add huge noise to the signals received. Since, many machines learning algorithms are successfully being applied in many real-world scenarios for predicting and inferring information, in this paper, we propose use of machine learning techniques on the Wi-Fi received signal strength indication (RSSI) for indoor localization. This study belongs to range-free and fingerprinting of localization. The research is divided into off-line training and on-line predicting stages. In the off-line training stage, a signal map with two-dimensional array structure is established by capturing the Wi-Fi RSSI of different reference locations, and different access points (Aps), Each output node of the neural network (NN) represents the probability that a signal vector occurs at the corresponding reference location. In the on-line predicting stage, instantaneous RSSI is recorded at an unknown location. The trained NN can accurately predict indoor positions even far from network devices.},

Indoor Geolocation can be seen as an alternative for Global Positioning System as, GPS fails in an indoor area. As an emerging technology there are two main classes of infrastructure based on which these systems are built. There are basic challenges which these systems have to face and they include the signaling systems, cost of deployment, and accuracy of prediction, pattern recognition and use of signature databases. The use of appropriate methods with proper estimation values gives better accuracy. There are various methods depending on which these systems are implemented. Indoor Geolocation has various techniques to determine the position of the object. This paper has a comparative study of the two main techniques of RSSI. Also a design for one of the applications of Indoor Geolocation i.e. a system that can be implemented for a medical store has been proposed. The basic aim is to find the RSSI value based on which the mobile station can be located. The RSSI values can be modified for any changes in the environment. An algorithm that combines the best features of the calibration procedures, fingerprinting techniques and pattern recognition helps to implement the system with best accuracy in results. For different applications, the values the various methods of determination can be selected as per requirements.},

However, most existing DFL approaches have limited applicability in realistic smart home environments as they typically require extensive offline calibration, large node densities, or use technology that is not readily available in commercial smart homes. In this paper, we introduce SpringLoc and a DFL algorithm that relies on simple parameter tuning and does not require offline measurements. It localizes and tracks an entity using an adaptive spring relaxation approach. The anchor points of the artificial springs are placed in regions containing the links that are affected by the entity. The affected links are determined by comparing the kernel-based histogram distance of successive RSSI values. SpringLoc is benchmarked against existing algorithms in two diverse and realistic environments, showing significant improvement over the state-of-the-art, especially in situations with low-node deployment density.},

Indoor positioning using WiFi has limits on location placement. To overcome these shortcomings are used sensor beacon bluetooth low energy with the advantages of having low power consumption and relatively small dimensions that can be placed in various places that are difficult to reach by WiFi. Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is a system for knowing the position of objects or people in a room by using radio waves, magnetic fields, or other sensors obtained by mobile devices. The indoor positioning method is divided into deterministic and probabilistic. Deterministic can determine the position faster by using measurement techniques such as Trilateration and Triangulation. Trilateration is a method for determining location with known three location information and device distance to each access point. This research used Trilateration method with measurement technique based on RSSI value. Based on the results of the test, RSSI of the beacon is strongly affected by objects that have thickness and density. In line of sight conditions, Android devices are able to receive signals properly and determine the location of the device using trilateration with quite accurate.},

abstract = {The research presented in this paper is focused on In-home positioning systems. These indoor environments are characterized by a reduced number of AP, narrow spaces and very important radio signal attenuation. Existing indoor techniques seems to be not totally suitable for these scenarios; this paper proposes an add-on for helping these techniques by the use of wearable ultrasound sensors (distance measurements). One important step for indoor techniques using RF signals is the off-line phase and the generation of Radio Maps. In order to considerably reduce the time needed for the off-line phase, this paper uses an existing tool for generating maps automatically. Therefore, a considerable gain of time is obtained. On the other hand, the combination of WiFi and range techniques allows us to do coarse and fine location. An IT artifact named UTOPIA (UlTrasOund Positioning Indoor App) has been developed to track all data needed for computing indoor position like RSSI, distances to walls, number of steps, heading and more. The project uses two maps for positioning: a WiFi map automatically generated; and an ultrasound map, that takes into account what should be the ultrasound value at every single point of the building and for several directions of the sensor. To get position, the values obtained by smartphone are compared with WiFi map. A particle filter technique is used to propagate position and ultrasound values are used to get the weight in the particle filter. Results obtained show that the methodology is coherent with real scenario and can be used for helping existing indoor position techniques in these specific scenarios (In-home environments). The main contributions of this paper are: 1) offering an alternative system suitable for in-home features that allows to calculate positioning by using WiFi and ultrasound; 2) avoiding the off-line mapping phase of WiFi fingerprinting by comparing with an automatically calculated WiFi map; and 3) using the map for improving positioning by generating an ultrasound reference map with the value of ultrasound signal at every single point of the building, and for several directions.},

abstract = {The recent years have witnessed a greater demand for understanding how people move in urban environments. Due to the widespread usage of mobile phones, there have been several trajectorybased studies focusing on extracting the characteristics of human mobility from georeferenced mobile phone data. Mobile positioning data is generally generated as scattered points in CDRs (Call Detail Records). Even though CDR data can be regarded as an inexpensive scalable source of information on human mobility, mobility studies in urban settings based on such data sources still prove to be a research challenge due to the coarseness of CDR spatial granularity. Motivated by the need for transforming large-scale CDRs to movement trajectories, the present study offers a new solution which is made of two principal building blocks: (1) Developing a Bayesian-based induction method through adopting a GIS-based wave propagation model to solve the GSM-based localization problem when methods such as triangulation are not applicable due to the lack of measurements from more than one base station; (2) Reconstruction of movement trajectories from cellular location information using overlapping relations existing between observed cells as well as detection of ping-pong phenomena as auxiliary information. A case study employing CDR and GPS records obtained from an experimental survey on one of the central urban zones of Tehran was conducted, which showed the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in comparison to current approaches with respect to three perspectives, including movement path exploration, individual-oriented movement features extraction, and crowd-movement modelling.},

Especially, mobile communication technology continues to develop rapidly and Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are attracting attention from many researchers in order to provide cost efficient broadband wireless connectivity. The main issue of WMNs is to improve network connectivity and stability in terms of user coverage. In this paper, we introduce a moving omnidirectional access point robot (called MOAP robot) and propose an indoor position detecting system using mean BLE RSSI for MOAP Robot. In order to realize a moving Access Point (AP), the MOAP robot should move omni directionally in 2 dimensional space. It is important that the MOAP robot moves to an accurate position in order to have a good connectivity. Thus, MOAP robot can provide good communication and stability for WMNs.},

Based on the sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratios, we find that the decision made by the smartphone magnetometer-based test can be accurate in telling contacts from no contacts. Furthermore, through the evaluation process, we determine the appropriate range of compared trace segment sizes and the correlation cutoff values that we should use in such diagnostic tests.},

The theoretically backgrounds of the experiments range from the simple use of the law of gravitation to the coefficient of restitution and refer to different physical concepts (mechanics and acoustics).

abstract = {In this paper, an improved indoor localization method based on smartphone inertial sensors is presented. Pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR), which determines the relative location change of a pedestrian without additional infrastructure supports, is combined with a floor plan for a pedestrian positioning in our work. To address the challenges of low sampling frequency and limited processing power in smartphones, reliable and efficient PDR algorithms have been proposed. A robust step detection technique leaves out the preprocessing of raw signal and reduces complex computation. Given the fact that the precision of the stride length estimation is influenced by different pedestrians and motion modes, an adaptive stride length estimation algorithm based on the motion mode classification is developed. Heading estimation is carried out by applying the principal component analysis (PCA) to acceleration measurements projected to the global horizontal plane, which is independent of the orientation of a smartphone. In addition, to eliminate the sensor drift due to the inaccurate distance and direction estimations, a particle filter is introduced to correct the drift and guarantee the localization accuracy. Extensive field tests have been conducted in a laboratory building to verify the performance of proposed algorithm. A pedestrian held a smartphone with arbitrary orientation in the tests. Test results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve significant performance improvements in terms of efficiency, accuracy and reliability.},

We demonstrated for the first time a meter-level indoor positioning system that is infrastructure free, phone position independent, user adaptive, and easy to deploy. We have conducted extensive experiments on users with smartphone devices, with over 50 subjects walking over an aggregate distance of over 40 kilometers.

abstract = {Wireless indoor positioning has been extensively studied for the past 2 decades and continuously attracted growing research efforts in mobile computing context. As the integration of multiple inertial sensors (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer) to nowadays smartphones in recent years, human-centric mobility sensing is emerging and coming into vogue. Mobility information, as a new dimension in addition to wireless signals, can benefit localization in a number of ways, since location and mobility are by nature related in the physical world. In this article, we survey this new trend of mobility enhancing smartphone-based indoor localization. Specifically, we first study how to measure human mobility: what types of sensors we can use and what types of mobility information we can acquire. Next, we discuss how mobility assists localization with respect to enhancing location accuracy, decreasing deployment cost, and enriching location context. Moreover, considering the quality and cost of smartphone built-in sensors, handling measurement errors is essential and accordingly investigated. Combining existing work and our own working experiences, we emphasize the principles and conduct comparative study of the mainstream technologies. Finally, we conclude this survey by addressing future research directions and opportunities in this new and largely open area.},

We propose to use multiple smartphones spontaneously assembled into an ad hoc microphone array as part of a teleconferencing system. The unknown spatial positions, the asynchronous sampling and the unknown time offsets between clocks of smartphones in the ad hoc array are the main problems for such an application as well as for almost all other acoustic signal processing algorithms. A maximum likelihood approach using time of arrival measurements of short calibration pulses is proposed to solve this self-localization problem. The global orientation of each phone, obtained by the means of nowadays common built-in geomagnetic compasses, in combination with the constant microphone-loudspeaker distance lead to a nonlinear optimization problem with a reduced dimensionality in contrast to former methods. The applicability of the proposed self-localization is shown in simulation and via recordings in a typical reverberant and noisy conference room.},

abstract = {Fine-grained localization is extremely important to accurately locate a user indoors. Although innovative solutions have already been proposed, there is no solution that is universally accepted, easily implemented, user centric, and, most importantly, works in the absence of GSM coverage or WiFi availability. The advent of sensor rich smartphones has paved a way to develop a solution that can cater to these requirements. By employing a smartphone's built-in magnetic field sensor, magnetic signatures were collected inside buildings. These signatures displayed a uniqueness in their patterns due to the presence of different kinds of pillars, doors, elevators, etc., that consist of ferromagnetic materials like steel or iron. We theoretically analyze the cause of this uniqueness and then present an indoor localization solution by classifying signatures based on their patterns. However, to account for user walking speed variations so as to provide an application usable to a variety of users, we follow a dynamic time-warping-based approach that is known to work on similar signals irrespective of their variations in the time axis. Our approach resulted in localization distances of approximately 2m--6m with accuracies between 80--100\% implying that it is sufficient to walk short distances across hallways to be located by the smartphone. The implementation of the application on different smartphones yielded response times of less than five secs, thereby validating the feasibility of our approach and making it a viable solution.},
