Secure 30cm localization solution is based on Bluetooth

By eeNews Europe



The technology was developed by imec researchers in Holst Centre (the Netherlands) and researchers from COSIC, an imec lab at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven). It sets a new benchmark in localisation accuracy using a standard Bluetooth radio.

 

Up till now, accurate localisation and high security could only be achieved by using high-end solutions based on ultra-wideband (UWB) radios. imec’s solution brings accurate localisation with high security on a standard Bluetooth radio. The imec solution needs less than 32kB of ROM and 64kB of RAM on an ARM Cortex M4F device with less than 50 msec per measurement at 120 MHz. The phase-based solution is extremely robust for the multipath reflections found in indoor environments.
