Beacons positioning detection, a novel approach

Recent Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons provide new opportunities to explore positioning. Beacon positioning determination using current approaches is supported by pre-calculated formulas, for generic beacons, whereas the position can be accurately estimated with a low error up to a small distance; or based on fingerprinting the signal for the given space. In both cases, the accuracy variate depending on hardware specifications and other conditions such as beacon brand, wrap material, temperature, wind, location, surrounding interference, battery strength, among others.
