Abstract
Described herein are technologies relating to assigning wireless beacons to positions within a building, wherein the wireless beacons are included in an indoor positioning system. A computer-implemented floorplan representation is generated, wherein the representation includes a layout of the building and materials of structures of the building. Coverages of wireless beacons are simulated, and multiple objectives are balanced to identify a number of wireless beacons to deploy in the building and positions in the building where the wireless beacons are to be deployed.
