Development of a system for collecting, storing, and managing channel arrays for building positioning and localization algorithms inside the premises

Abstract

The article discusses the development of a system for collecting, storing, and managing channel arrays for building indoor positioning and localization algorithms. Navigation within spaces is a difficult task due to a variety of factors such as multipath propagation, interference, and dynamic environment. To improve the accuracy and reliability of positioning, it is proposed to use channel matrices that contain information about the status of the communication channel. The article describes the architecture of the system, which includes modules for data collection, storage and management of channel arrays. Various technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB are being considered and integrated to obtain accurate channel status data. The paper proposes a database structure that makes it possible to organize the collection, storage and processing of channel arrays, regardless of the type of equipment used and its quantity. Data labeling is also supported for marking up data as part of experiments. In conclusion, the projects in which the proposed system was used are considered. The conclusion highlights the prospects for further development of the system and its potential applications in various fields such as robotics, smart homes, medicine, and security.
