Team Player Tracking Using Sensors and Signal Strength for Indoor Basketball James A. Kirkup, Graduate Student Member, IEEE, David D. Rowlands, Member, IEEE, and David V. Thiel, Senior Member, IEEE

Abstract— Wireless tracking of players for indoor team sports can provide information for both coaching assistance and individual improvement. Body worn accelerometer sensors have been used extensively to monitor and provide information such as body movements and heart rate. By also employing a beacon valuable data like player positioning and offensive play checks in the game of basketball can be provided using radio-frequency interference (RF) signal positioning techniques. Positional accuracy from a previous study using uncertainty ellipses, not yet published, shows signal variations of 3 dB having little impact on the position estimation error for a single player. The introduction of multiple moving players in the vicinity to the player worn beacon shows a variation (with no obstruction) of
