Highly Accurate Indoor Three-Dimensional Localization Technique in Visible Light Communication Systems

Abstract

Localization, or positioning, is gaining the increasing attention of researchers around the world. The location information, especially the indoor location, is important for navigation systems, heating and air conditioning systems, illumination adjustment, humidity control, robot service, and so on. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional indoor localization technique using visible light. The main goal of our proposed scheme is to improve the accuracy of VLC-based indoor localization by utilizing multiple VLC transmitters. The simulation results validate the performance of our proposed scheme.
