“…However, limitations exist due to the complicated and complex nature of indoor spaces. The RF positioning systems are further categorised into Bluetooth, Ultra-wideband (UWB), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) (Gu et al, 2009;Fallah et al, 2013;Deak, Curran, & Condell, 2012). The various RF positioning systems have unique strengths and limitations, and the succeeding sub-sections highlight them.…”

“…However, device discovery is inherently a slow process in the Bluetooth-based positioning methods, thus affecting real-time positioning, accuracy and performance, thereby making Bluetooth undesirable for tracking and navigation purposes (Feldmann et al, 2003;Bekkelien, 2012). In addition, due to the amount of infrastructures required, the cost of the system rises, with the use of the server raising privacy concerns (Deak et al, 2012). …”

“…The positioning system consists of Bluetooth devices, Bluetooth tags or sensors, server and WLAN (H. Liu et al, 2007;Deak et al, 2012). Bluetooth devices that are within the range of the installed Bluetooth sensors are able to connect to the sensors, thus resulting in the sensor's communication of the device's ID to the server via WLAN (Gu et al, 2009;Deak et al, 2012). The server computes the position of the device and sends the information to the application running on the device (Deak et al, 2012;Kriz, Maly, & Kozel, 2016).…”

The research and use of positioning and navigation technologies outdoors has seen a steady and exponential growth. Based on this success, there have been attempts to implement these technologies indoors, leading to numerous studies. Most of the algorithms, techniques and technologies used have been implemented outdoors. However, how they fare indoors is different altogether. Thus, several technologies have been proposed and implemented to improve positioning and navigation indoors. Among them are Infrared (IR), Ultrasound, Audible Sound, Magnetic, Optical and Vision, Radio Frequency (RF), Visible Light, Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR)/Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Hybrid. The RF technologies include Bluetooth, Ultra-wideband (UWB), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC). In addition, positioning techniques applied in indoor positioning systems include the signal properties and positioning algorithms. The prevalent signal properties are Angle of Arrival (AOA), Time of Arrival (TOA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), while the positioning algorithms are Triangulation, Trilateration, Proximity and Scene Analysis/ Fingerprinting. This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey of indoor positioning and navigation systems and technologies, and their use in various scenarios. It analyses distinct positioning technology metrics such as accuracy, complexity, cost, privacy, scalability and usability. This paper has profound implications for future studies of positioning and navigation.
