Abstract: One of the topical areas of the digital economy is the development of services based on the use of systems for local positioning of objects. The article presents the results of analytical modeling of a positioning system built on the equipment of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of data transmission in a ZigBee network. As a modeling tool, the mathematical apparatus of queuing networks (CeMO) was selected, which has proven its effectiveness for calculating the characteristics of various infocommunication systems. The method of analysis of average values was chosen by the authors to assess the quality of service indicators due to its computational simplicity and the adequacy of the results obtained. The authors have developed a structural diagram of the investigated positioning system. On the basis of the network architecture, a conceptual, algorithmic and software model in the form of a closed homogeneous queuing network has been developed and its characteristics have been calculated. The parameters obtained as a result of modeling make it possible to evaluate and analyze the quality of service indicators in the telecommunications segment of the local positioning system under study, such as latency, performance, network load factor and the probability of losses, which can be used for efficient traffic management in the telecommunications segment of the geolocation system based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard.

Abstract: The article presents the results of the analysis of the error in calculating the coordinates of a mobile subscriber using three Wi-Fi access points, based on measuring the received signal power. The purpose of the study was to develop a geographic system for large storage facilities and a preliminary assessment of the accuracy of calculations in conditions close to real ones. The principles of local and global positioning based on the measurement of various physical characteristics of signal propagation were considered, a method was selected for the implementation of a positioning system. The authors developed a test bench layout of a map on the IEEE 802.11 standard mobile network and software for solving this problem using the trilateration mechanism. To simulate the surrounding electromagnetic environment, a parameter imitating additive white Gaussian noise was added to the calculation formulas. In the course of the work, graphical dependences of the error of measuring the coordinates of the object on the signal / noise ratio in the channel and on the distance from the reference access point are obtained. The results showed that even in the worst operating conditions, the developed system surpasses most systems on the market in terms of measurement accuracy.
