Abstract

In indoor environments, beacon-based distance measurement approach can be utilized to find UAVs locations. Therefore, there are diverse kinds of approaches to revise the distances from APs and UAVs that contains beacons. As increasing the accuracy of the distance, the accuracy of the locations can be further increased. Therefore, it is required to improve the accuracy of the estimated distances. This paper proposes a method that improves a relative distance estimation method by defining and utilizing intermediate beacons. An intermediate beacon is a beacon that is located between access points and is referenced to revise the calculated distances between an AP and a beacon.
