The ZoneType defines an area, in which a local location is computed, e.g. via a RTLS or a proximity based system like RFID. For that reason, it might either have a set of GroundControlPoints defining the extent for RTLS or just a point and a radius for proximity based systems. It is formally defined in Table 15.

Description Attribute

ZoneId

A unique identifier of the zone (e.g. a GUID).

Building

Name of the building

Floor

Name of the floor

Site

Name of the site

GroundControlPoints

Points defining the extent of the zone

Position

Describes a point (i.e. a position) in 2 or 3 dimensions.

Radius

For proximity-based systems. Describes the zone as a circular region with a given radius in meters around the position.

IncompleteConfiguration

Indicates if the configuration is complete. FALSE if configuration is complete.
