Abstract

See full text

Positioning beacons (109-a . . . 109-d; 602-1 . . . 602-K) are shown in a target area (100) of a location detection system (600) with location areas (103-a . . . 103-g) in the target area associated with potential beacon positions (102-a . . . 102-g) and represented by vertices (106-a . . . 106-g) of a graph (105). Reliable connectivity between location areas is represented by edges between vertices that represent the location areas. The beacons are assigned to location areas of a subset of vertices of the graph, which subset represents a robust 1-identifying code. The graph may be constrained to a regular topology to exploit availability of optimum or close-to-optimum t-edge-robust and t-vertex-robust 1-identifying codes for such regular topologies. A greedy search algorithm (400-425) may be used to find a small subset of vertices representing t-vertex-robust 1-identifying codes.
