4 General
4.1 Performance requirements
4.1.1 Overview
This document specifies a series of tests to determine the performance characteristics of RTLS
equipment relative to the ISO/IEC 24730-5 air interfaces. The results of these tests can be used to
determine the suitability of RTLS equipment for applications.
4.1.2 Location accuracy
The primary function of RTLS equipment is to locate tags within the area determined by the readers.
Location accuracy determines the primary performance criteria of an RTLS. Location accuracy can be
characterized by comparing the system's calculated location for a given set of tags to the actual location
of the tags. The system shall be able to locate tags to within the applications allowable error. In many,
but not necessarily in all applications, the Euclidean distance between the calculated location of a tag
and the actual location of a tag can be used as an error criterion. The location tests specified in this
document are confined to line-of-sight situations. Although this is not be applicable to all applications,
the complexity of all the variations of blockage and partial blockage are beyond the scope of this test.
4.1.3 Tag capacity
An RTLS shall typically locate a large number of tags. The number of tag blinks per second that can
be processed and located through the readers can be used to determine a system’s tag capacity. The
system shall be able to provide location information for an applications peak tag blink density.
4.1.4 Location latency
The latency between when the tag blink is transmitted and, when the RTL
