9.1.3. Submaps
Submap is a logical unit. A part of the map. It unites beacons to work together in
the system. Submap can contain from 1 to 4 beacons. It can be 1D, 2D, and 3D.
Different types of submaps can be used together. Mix 1D, 2D, 3D as you wish.
Map of the office floor, for example, may contain 1D submap for corridor, 2D/3D
submaps for office rooms. All that submaps will form a big map with coverage
you need.
Submaps can contain the same beacons. It makes possible to use 3 beacons
instead 4. It is very helpful in the IA because we are limited with 5 ultrasonic
frequencies.
Example 1. Used 3 beacons for 2 2D submaps. Beacon 11 – neighboring. It
belongs to Submap 0 and Submap 1 at the same time. 2 vacant frequencies left:
Example 2. Used 4 beacons for 2 2D submaps. Submap 0 and Submap 1 are
independent. 1 vacant frequency left:
Different configurations suit different cases. You can also have submaps with
neighboring beacons and submaps without it on the one map.
