Popis: With the addition of Bluetooth AOA/AOD direction-finding capabilities in the Bluetooth 5.1 protocol and the introduction of antenna array technology into the Bluetooth platform to further enhance positioning accuracy, Bluetooth has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of indoor positioning due to its standard protocol specifications, rich application ecosystem, and outstanding advantages such as low power consumption and low cost compared to other indoor positioning technologies. However, current indoor positioning based on Bluetooth AOA/AOD suffers from overly simplistic core algorithm implementations. When facing different application scenarios, the standalone AOA or AOD algorithms exhibit weak applicability, and they also encounter challenges such as poor positioning accuracy, insufficient real-time performance, and significant effects of multipath propagation. These existing problems and deficiencies render Bluetooth lacking an efficient implementation solution for indoor positioning. Therefore, this paper proposes a study on Bluetooth AOA and AOD indoor positioning algorithms. Through an analysis of the principles of Bluetooth’s newly added direction-finding functionality and combined with research on array signal DOA estimation algorithms, the paper ultimately integrates the least squares algorithm to optimize positioning errors in terms of accuracy and incorporates an anti-multipath interference algorithm to address the impacts of multipath effects in different scenarios. Experimental testing demonstrates that the indoor positioning algorithms applicable to Bluetooth AOA and AOD can effectively mitigate accuracy errors and overcome multipath effects, exhibiting strong applicability and significant improvements in real-time performance.

Therefore, this paper proposes a study on Bluetooth AOA and AOD indoor positioning algorithms. Through an analysis of the principles of Bluetooth’s newly added direction-finding functionality and combined with research on array signal DOA estimation algorithms, the paper ultimately integrates the least squares algorithm to optimize positioning errors in terms of accuracy and incorporates an anti-multipath interference algorithm to address the impacts of multipath effects in different scenarios.
