BLE RSS measurements database and supporting materials

BLE RSS measurements database and supporting materials

The database contains over 4,700 fingerprints of measurement from Bluettoth Low Energy (BLE) beacons. The beacons were Accent System's IBKS105, and the RSS were measured in two zone from the Universitat Jaume I, in Spain. One zone is an area among bookshelves that belong to the university library, for which beacons were configured to advertise at the -12 dBm power and the collection was performed using three smartphones: aBQ Aquaris X5 plus, a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) and a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (SM-A520F). The other zone is an office space area, for which beacons were configured at -4dBm, -12 dBm, and -20dBm and the collection was performed using the only Samsung Galaxy A5 smartphone. The supporting material includes Matlab® scripts to load and filter the desired data, and provides examples that depict common challenges for BLE RSS-based indoor positioning. The supporting material also includes the beacon deployment and the obstacles local coordinates.
