Detailed Documentation

In wireless positioning algorithms, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is among the most commonly employed techniques. This algorithm estimates the distance between a device and signal source by measuring received signal strength, requiring no specialized hardware and offering straightforward implementation through basic signal processing functions. Additionally, the triangular centroid method serves as another fundamental approach in wireless positioning. This technique calculates device coordinates using distance measurements from three or more signal sources, typically implemented through geometric calculations and trilateration algorithms. While demanding greater hardware support, this method delivers enhanced accuracy to meet higher precision requirements. Consequently, algorithm selection should be based on specific application scenarios, weighing factors like hardware constraints versus precision needs when implementing positioning solutions.
