Microlocation for Internet-of-Things-Equipped Smart Buildings

Microlocation is the process of locating any entity with a very high accuracy (possibly in centimeters), whereas geofencing is the process of creating a virtual fence around a point of interest (PoI). In this paper, we present an insight into various microlocation enabling technologies, techniques, and services. We also discuss how they can accelerate the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) in smart buildings. We argue that micro-location-based location aware solutions can play a significant role in facilitating the tenants of an IoT-equipped smart building. Also, such advanced technologies will enable the smart building control system through minimal actions performed by the tenants. We also highlight the existing and envisioned services to be provided by using microlocation enabling technologies. We describe the challenges and propose some potential solutions, such that microlocation enabling technologies and services are thoroughly integrated with IoT-equipped smart building.
