A Survey on Indoor Positioning Systems for IoT-Based Applications
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT), as a pervasive paradigm, is becoming an integral part of the tech industry and academic research in recent years. It forms a ubiquitous heterogeneous network connecting humans and things. The basic premise is acquiring data from the environment with sensors and remote intelligent management via actuators. For IoT service providers, time and place are functional parameters. Whereas most IoT scenarios are in indoor spaces and GPS cannot fully cover them, applying an indoor positioning system (IPS) is necessary. Besides, indoor enabling technologies can leverage the capability of IoT in context-aware services. In this article, we aim to provide a panoramic view of IPSs and localization services with the centrality of IoT. First, we explain the main concepts and review the latest positioning methods, techniques, and technologies with IoT remarks. Then, we discuss technical implementation challenges and open issues with feasible solutions. Finally, we mentioned location-based services (LBSs), real IoT applications, and active vendors in the realm of positioning services. This article provides a real insight into LBSs in IoT for future research.

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.
