Abstract:
A positioning system, method and computer program product determine a position of a mobile device, such as in instances in which the mobile device is indoors. In regards to a positioning system, the positioning system is caused to determine a signal strength of signals received from at least first and second directive antennas of a beacon and at least a non-directive antenna of the beacon. The positioning system is also caused to normalize the signal strength of the signals received from the first and second directive antennas based on the signal strength of the signals received from the non-directive antenna in order to determine normalized signal strengths of the signals received from the first and second directive antennas. The positioning system is further caused to determine an angle at which the signals from the beacon propagate based upon the normalized signals strengths.
