A receiver includes an RF module to receive and down convert multiple types of RF signals received from at least one antenna; a communication unit configured to communicate signals with at least one external device; and a processing unit communicatively coupling the radio frequency module with the communication unit. Processing unit receives operation mode selection. When first operation mode is selected, processing unit receives first input signal from antenna via RF module (the first input signal including ILS signal and/or VOR signal) and outputs first output signal based on first input signal to external device. When second operational mode is selected, processing unit receives second input signal from antenna via radio frequency unit (second input signal including AIS signal including data regarding a current location of remotely located transmitting device) and outputs second output signal based on second input signal to external device.

Disclosed is a beacon-based positioning system. A beacon position in which a beacon is installable is defined in a target space, and a path loss model of radio frequency (RF) signals between all beacon positions and all observation positions of a scanner is determined. Among all possible installation plans for the beacon positions, an installation plan in which different beacon signals, whose RSSIs calculated using the path loss model have significant values, are received in a number greater than or equal to a minimum reference number and a total number of the beacons installed is minimum is determined as an optimal installation plan. The optimization problem of determining the optimal installation plan may be expressed by binary linear programming.
