Indoor Positioning Systems Based on Visible Light Communication: State of the Art
Abstract
Advances in visible light communication (VLC) technology and the ubiquity of illumination facility have led to a growing interest in VLC-based indoor positioning. Numerous techniques have been proposed to obtain better system performance. In this paper, we survey over 100 papers ranging from pioneering papers to the state-of-the-art in the field to present the positioning technology. Not only the light emitting diode technology, modulation method and types of receivers are compared but also a novel taxonomy method is proposed. In this paper, VLC-based indoor positioning systems (VLC-based-IPSs) are classified based on the methods used: 1) mathematical method; 2) sensor-assisted method; and 3) optimization method. Different from other survey works, we emphasize and analyze the accuracy of VLC-based-IPS in the experiment and simulation environments. Meanwhile, this paper illustrates challenges, countermeasures, and lessons learned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
