Minimizing total implementation cost of a 2-D indoor localization system with a constant accuracy for underground mine tunnels

In this paper, we introduce the problem of minimizing total implementation cost of a 2-D indoor localization system for underground mine tunnels, guaranteeing a constant accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a system based on Cell-ID technique and visible light communication (VLC) technology with square panels of light-emitting diode (LED) lights, which fixes the maximum position error in each cell by considering the distribution of overlapping and non-overlapping cells. Formally, our system is mainly defined by an easy-to-implement algorithm based on a simple order rule. In order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposal, an example is provided. Finally, potential applications in the industrial environments are discussed and future research is proposed.Fil: Espinoza Pérez, Andrea Teres.
