About accuracy, several factors influence the accuracy distance measuring with BLE RSSI.

1. Shadow effect: signals can be reflected by walls and glasses around many times during the transmission. If there is an object moving due to diffraction, the signal path will be changed. This results in receiving unstable signal strength.
2. There are many devices on 2.4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee. The signal may overlap with each other which makes the received signal strength unstable.

When using a beacon for positioning, please consider the follow method for measuring the distance.

1. While the beacon is advertising, repeatedly sample the RSSI at a 1 meter distance for a minimum of 10 seconds.
2. Discard the highest 10% of the RSSI samples
3. Discard the lowest 20% of the RSSI samples
4. Average the remaining samples to obtain the Measured Power value.

We recommend another two algorithms for calculating the distance and position:

1. Moving average algorithm, refer to document number 930-00171.
2. Position Calibration, refer to document number 930-00172.
