Description
Accepts as parameters ARssi
(received signal strength indication in dBm), ATxPower
(signal strength at 1m distance in dBm) and a constant ASignalPropagationConst
. Returns an approximation of the distance to a device in meters.
The parameters needed to call this function are stored in the AdvertisedData property of the device.
Distance formula taken from: IEEE Xplore library paper: RSSI-Based Real-Time User Location Tracking System for Indoor and Outdoor Environments (DOI: 10.1109/ICCIT.2007.253, pages 1213-1218).
The formula for RSSI is RSSI = -(10*n*log10(d) + A)
.
