Abstract

In recent years, with the growth of indoor positioning demand, many kinds of indoor positioning technologies have been studied. Compared with other technologies, UWB indoor positioning technology has the advantages of high positioning accuracy and strong anti-interference ability. However, the high cost of UWB hardware limits the application of this technology to practical applications. In particular, the effective communication distance of the UWB is within 10 m, and if used in a large-area indoor environment, a plurality of anchor points is required to be installed to ensure the positioning accuracy. This leads to a high system hardware cost.

In this paper, we proposed a mobile-UWB-anchor-network approach. We changed the fixed anchors in the UWB system into moving anchors to reduce the number of anchors in the area and reduce the cost of the system. This new approach is verified using experiments.
