Summary:Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for indoor positioning of a device through a fusion of a plurality of Bluetooth signals. Specifically, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the optimization module which determines the optimal number and location of Bluetooth transmitters or beacons in an indoor environment. Other aspects relate to the estimation module which determine the location of devices in an indoor environment by using the Bluetooth signals from the Bluetooth beacons as well as the Bluetooth signals from other devices. The estimation module involves the fusion process to estimate, update, and refine the locations of the users in the indoor environment.
