Abstract
Location-aware service is one of the most important parts of the internet of things. And how to obtain the location information is the key point of location-aware service. This paper investigates some key technologies and algorithms of indoor positioning and analyzes their advantages and disadvantages in the terms of the positioning range, accuracy and cost. Finally some issues need to be resolved in future are discussed.
