Altbeacon库测距仅在30%的时间内检测到信标

Question

我正在使用AltBeacon库来定位我的设备附近的信标.我使用的是库的所有默认值,即扫描周期为1100毫秒,扫描周期为0毫秒.

该库每1100毫秒调用一次我的监听器,但问题是在很多这样的调用中,没有信标检测.信标仅被检测到大约30%-40%的呼叫,另外70%的呼叫表示周围没有信标.

我该怎么做才能解决这个问题？

Answer 1

在审查了私人发送的非常大的50秒LogCat摘录后,我看到两个信标被不定期检测到:

Beacon #1 7383942b-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx id2: 5 id3: 5000
   Max time between detections:   5.75600001 s
   Mean time between detections:  2.03854544 s
   % range cycles with detection: 51%

Beacon #2 b9407f30-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx id2: 60039 id3: 2279
   Max time between detections:   4.794999515 s
   Mean time between detections:  1.377583336 s
   % range cycles with detection: 82 %

库代码按预期每1100毫秒启动和停止蓝牙扫描,并且在89%的测距周期中,检测到两个信标中的至少一个.这表明应用程序,库和操作系统都正常工作 - 没有重要的时间段没有检测到信标.更重要的是,每个信标的RSSI表明在日志周期内相当强的信号是相当一致的.但是信标的检测间隔是高度不规则的.这很不寻常.

这表明一些无线电或硬件问题,无论是信标,电话还是无线电环境.一些可能性:

1. 信标真的没有定期传输,实际上确实有辍学.(如果您使用两种不同的信标模型,这似乎不太可能.)
2. 手机的蓝牙硬件有一个问题,导致它错过了很多蓝牙广告包(可能是由于CRC错误),所以操作系统,库和应用程序永远不会看到它们.
3. 测试是在具有大量无线电噪声的位置进行的,这导致可能性2中提到的CRC错误.

我认为Android设备的问题是最有可能的,尽管我承认这是我见过的第一个这样的情况.我建议您尝试使用第二个Android设备,看看是否可以重现该问题.由于这可能是硬件问题,因此记录您正在使用的设备模型会很有用.

编辑:提问者离线发送附加信息说他正在使用带有2.0-beta7版本库的Nexus 5,并说这个问题以前不存在,只有在升级到这个版本的库时才出现.我自己在Nexus 5和2.0-beta7版本的库上做了一些额外的测试,修改了android-beacon-library-reference应用程序,在每个测距回调中添加以下代码:

public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region) {
    if (beacons.size() > 0) {
        EditText editText = (EditText)RangingActivity.this
                .findViewById(R.id.rangingText);
        int rssi = -100;
        for (Beacon beacon: beacons) {
            logToDisplay("Beacon "+beacon.toString()+" is about "+beacon.getDistance()+" meters away, with Rssi: "+beacon.getRssi());
            if (beacon.getId1().toString().equals("2f234454-cf6d-4a0f-adf2-f4911ba9ffa6") && beacon.getId2().toString().equals("1") && beacon.getId3().toString().equals("1")) {
                rssi = beacon.getRssi();
            }
        }
        if (rssi > -100) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Beacon found in ranging cycle.  rssi: "+rssi);
        }
        else {
            Log.d(TAG, "Beacon not found in ranging cycle");
        }

    }
}

然后我接通的RadBeacon USB发送与2f234454-cf6d-4a0f-ADF2-f4911ba9ffa6/1/1为10Hz,然后看着与过滤器和以下结果调试输出.正如您所看到的,在没有检测到任何信标的情况下,我运行测试的60秒没有循环.
