Abstract

The traditional GPS positioning technology is susceptible to buildings which incur severe signal attenuation and therefore the current actual GPS location information could not be directly obtained for a mobile device in some cases. The Bluetooth technology has attracted widespread attention recently due to its low-cost and strong anti- interference features. In this paper, we combined the Bluetooth wireless transmission and GPS positioning technologies to design and develop a GPS information sharing system, named GISS. The experimental results showed that the system is easy to use and achieves a flexible positioning capability of mobile devices.
