Indoor positioning using ambient-power tags

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor operably coupled to ambient-power tags, configured to cause the electronic device to:
• receive data from the ambient-power tags, wherein the ambient-power tags are configured to function as anchor nodes;
• generate zone-level device positioning information based on the data received from the ambient-power tags;
• determine a zone estimation based on one or more metrics collected from the data received from the ambient-power tags;
• receive sensor data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-sensor;
• and
• adjust the zone estimation using the sensor data to improve the zone-level device positioning information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code, that when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to:

• receive data from ambient-power tags, wherein the ambient-power tags are configured to function as anchor nodes;
• generate zone-level device positioning information based on the data received from the ambient-power tags;
• determine a zone estimation based on one or more metrics collected from the data received from the ambient-power tags;
• receive sensor data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-sensor;
• and
• adjust the zone estimation using the sensor data to improve the zone-level device positioning information.
