Unfortunately I'm not able to influence the type of beacons that are being used, which in this case are relatively simple - they just broadcast a signal that says "I am here" and the phone picks it up. WPS would make things a lot simpler for sure | |

| Mar 11, 2019 at 23:56 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | This is a very difficult problem, walls and other factors influence signal strength, however depending on your accuracy requirement it might not be impossible.. using the same method as GPS satellite positioning (intersecting spheres) you know that you are 10 units from 1, 3 units from 2 and 7 units from 3 all you need to resolve is what a unit is but you would really want another beacon to improve location; 3 beacons would be the minimum for a single floor, 4 beacons for a multi-floor situation. | |
