A positioning algorithm based on the Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI) from Bluetooth Low Energy signals is proposed for indoor tracking of the position of a drone. Experimental tests for characterization of beacon signals are presented. The application of a Kalman filter to reduce the effect of fluctuations in beacons signals is described.engBluetooth Low EnergyIndoor Positioning SystemsRSSImaster thesis201767880
