This thesis describes the design and implementation of an indoor positioning and sensing system called the Ultrasound Wi-Fi Indoor Positioning System (USWIPS). The system uses a combination of Wi-Fi and ultrasound to track the location of devices within a building. Fixed listeners attached to the ceiling receive Wi-Fi messages and ultrasound pulses from beacons attached to objects. By measuring distances to nearby beacons, the listeners can compute locations to within 10cm in a 3m x 3m room. The system is intended primarily for tracking purposes.

Astra!t: Location technologies have long been used for civilian and military purposes. The most famous of it is the worldwide Global Positioning system. It has found wide applications in fields of aircraft and vehicle tracking, cartography, avigation, surveying, emergency services, tectonics, guided ammunition and even recreation. The advance in fields of circuits has rendered GP! ine"pensive and compact, which now come as an in#built feature in several cell phones and even automobiles. $owever GP! have poor indoor performance mainly due to the drastic attenuation of satellite signals reaching the indoor environments. Positioning in the Indoor environments provides opportunity for several location based applications like ob%ect tracking, pervasive computing and patient tagging etc. It can be used to complement e"ternal positioning using GP! and hence provide results which have similar characteristics. &or e"ample, a typical GP! application will detect position in a 'km " 'km city center to within '(m. )e aim to be able to detect position in a '*m " '*m room to within '(cm. This thesis describes the design and implementation of indoor positioning and sensing system utili+ing a combination of )i#&i and ,ltrasound. The system consists of fi"ed listeners that are attached to the ceiling of a building, and transmitters, called beacons, attached to devices that need location. -ach beacon periodically transmits a )i#&i message. .t the same time, the beacon also transmits an ultrasonic pulse. The listeners listen to beacon transmissions and measure distances to nearby beacons, and use these distances to compute the location of the transmitter knowing its own location in the room space. This system is intended to be used primarily for tracking purpose.
