Correlation-based radio localization in an indoor environment

Correlation-based radio localization in an indoor environment

We investigate the feasibility of using correlation-based methods for estimating the spatial location of distributed receiving nodes in an indoor environment. Our algorithms do not assume any knowledge regarding the transmitter locations or the transmitted signal, but do assume that there are ambient signal sources whose location and properties are, however, not known. The key idea is to comput...

RSSI-Based Smooth Localization for Indoor Environment

Radio frequency (RF) technique, for its better penetrability over traditional techniques such as infrared or ultrasound, is widely used for indoor localization and tracking. In this paper, three novel measurements, point decision accuracy, path matching error and wrong jumping ratio, are firstly defined to express the localization efficiency. Then, a novel RSSI-based smooth localization (RSL) a...

RF Localization in Indoor Environment

In this paper indoor localization system based on the RF power measurements of the Received Signal Strength (RSS) in WLAN environment is presented. Today, the most viable solution for localization is the RSS fingerprinting based approach, where in order to establish a relationship between RSS values and location, different machine learning approaches are used. The advantage of this approach bas...

Device-Free Indoor Localization Based on Ambient FM Radio Signals

This paper presents the concept of device-free indoor localization using only a passive receiver and ambient FM radio signals. Experimental results based on empirical measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. The authors also evaluate fine-grained localization performance of the system, its temporal stability, and highlight the role of frequency diversity for passive lo...
