Study of a Novel Wireless Indoor Positioning System for Monitoring

Current surveillance system in some specific places like bank, hospital or train station are not efficient enough for city manager or policeman. Huge amount of manpower are needed to make full use of these surveillance data in crime research. In this paper, a novel highly automated surveillance system are proposed. The system would get the identification information and human position indirectly by finding the cellphone they carry on. By running the VBTS (Virtual Base Transceiver Station), IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number) of every mobile phone would be collected. VBTS is also able to make cellphones continuously transmit signal. A small sensor is designed to collect the RSS (Receive Signal Strength) and get cellphones' location by triangulation algorithm.
