Simulating wave Propagation Distribution Through GIS Integration
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The use of electronic devices designed for user location estimation has become widely popular in the last decade. This is thanks to emergent technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy, Radio-Frequency Identification, and Ultra-WideBand (UWB) among others. In the present study; the authors provide a method for using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to define spatial constraints, in order to simulate the lines of sight of anchors to make an informed selection of adequate locations for installation. By leveraging GIS, researchers or enterprises can improve the installation process by reducing costs while setting up arrangements that will ensure reliable data collection. We include a scenario illustrating the possibility of budget reduction of around 30% related to the orientation and survey of the devices.
