On the impact of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning with Bluetooth low energy (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Figueiredo e Silva, P., Basiri, A., Lohan, E. S., Pinchin, J., Hill, C., & Moore, T. (2015). On the impact of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning with Bluetooth low energy. In Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS-less Environments - MELT '15. https://doi.org/10.1145/2830571.2830573

This paper focuses on the study of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning applications using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). While BLE tries to avoid interference with other protocols in the same frequency band, such as Wi-Fi, the intra-sy...
