中文摘要：

A differential barometric altimetry technology based on the digital pressure sensors is put forward by using the existing mobile phone base station as reference. The height of known base station is precise. The pressure and temperature of the known base station is measured by sensors and transmitted to users. The absolute height value of user will be calculated by combining the barometric pressure values and temperature values from the base station with the locally measured values. In order to decrease system errors caused by inconsistency between the measured pressure value at base station and the locally measured pressure value,weights correction is applied based on multiple reference stations. The calculated height value is accurate due to eliminating the measured errors caused by irregular changes of atmospheric pressure,with the error less than 1 m. Resolution of elevation positioning depends upon the resolution of the pressure sensor,the relationship between which is approximately linear. When the resolution of sensor is 0. 0 1 hPa,the resolution of elevation positioning is about 0. 1 m. In addition,the data frame format at base station is designed in this article. Experimental results show that the method is accurate,reliable,stable and has the ability to distinguish floors and stair steps.
