Cover Story: This paper describes an innovative method for the localization of BLE signals using a single scanner device. Traditionally, BLE signal localization has been achieved by capturing the received signal strength (RSS) of the BLE signal and using fingerprinting, triangulation or with the help of antenna arrays. This research proposes a new algorithm and a novel measurement method for locating a BLE device by estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of the BLE signal using RSS values of the advertisement packets.
