Summary
- What is new: Utilization of a UAV-based wireless network and a novel NLOS path length model based on the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD) to improve indoor positioning accuracy in emergency situations.
- Why this is important: Enhancing 3D and Z-axis positioning accuracy in indoor emergencies and reducing reliance on fixed infrastructure that is vulnerable during emergencies.
- What the research proposes: A UAV-based wireless network that leverages GTD to develop a new NLOS path length model, enhancing indoor positioning performance for emergency responders and at-risk individuals.
- Results: The proposed UAV-based system and path length model significantly improve indoor positioning accuracy in emergency scenarios.
