We describe a time-of-arrival-(ToA-) based localization system for smartphones. In this system, the transmitter emits modulated light-emitting diode (LED) light and sound waves, then the smartphone catches them. The smartphone measures the time of flight of sound waves and localizes its position using multilateration. The LED light is used for visible light communication, which also conveys the time...
In this paper we describe SyncSync, a novel time-of-arrival (ToA) localization method for smartphones. ToA measurements generally show better precision than time-difference-of-arrival measurements, but ToA systems require a synchronization mechanism between anchor and mobile nodes. For this synchronization, we employ modulated light with an acoustic signal for the time-of-flight distance measurement...
We describe a novel time-synchronization technique for mobile smart nodes. We capture modulated LED light with a video camera, which is usually built into a smart node. The CMOS image sensor of a video camera does not take a snapshot at a certain time. Instead, the sensor captures data on a line-byline basis and the sensor output consists of lines taken at slightly different times. Therefore, we can...
