Sensor Placement with Location Tracking

Sensor density and sensor placement are the most important factors regarding overall positioning resolution. Due to the nature of high frequency signals (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and limited signal strength resolution in 802.11 devices, the positioning resolution and stability tends to be better near receivers/sensors. To achieve accurate results, follow these guidelines:

• Place at least three independent sensors on the same floor plan so the system can capture the RSSI values.
• Place a sensor in each area where accurate resolution is required or to increase overall sensor density to ensure high RSSI values.
