Device-Free Indoor Localization for AAL Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a device-free localization method oriented to Ambient Assisted Living applications. The system exploits the received signal strength (RSS) measured by fixed wireless communications devices, whose position is known a priori, in order to localize a person in the transmission coverage area. The proposed localization system is passive, by not requiring the user to wear anything, and is able to trade complexity for accuracy by simply changing the number of deployed devices. The presentation is validated by an indoor experimental study.

In the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) scenario, indoor localization represents one of the main pillars for the development of contextaware applications. In this context, comparing and testing indoor positioning system is a hot topic in the indoor localization research community. In fact, after several years algorithms and methods have been developed and matured, no general frameworks exist yet t...
متن کاملCEO: A context event only indoor localization technique for AAL
Ambient Assisted Living applications are deployed in smart environments that provide some basic services, a typical example being user localization. AAL applications generally have low accuracy requirements for indoor localization; this opens the opportunity for parasitizing the existing smart environment infrastructure without adding dedicated positioning sensors. In this scenario, one can exp...
متن کاملReservoir Computing Forecasting of User Movements from RSS Mote-Class Sensors Measurements
Real-time, indoor user localization, although limited to the current user position, is of great practical importance in many Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications. Moreover an accurate prediction of the user next position (even with a short advice) may open a number of new AAL applications that could timely provide the right services in the right place even before the user request them. Ho...
متن کاملIndoor Localization of Persons in AAL scenarios using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and the Signal Strength (SS) from RFID Tags
This paper presents an indoor localization system that is based on the fusion of two complementary technologies: 1) Inertial integration and 2) RFID-based trilateration. The Inertial subsystem uses an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) mounted on the foot of the person. The IMU approach generates a very accurate estimate of the user’s trajectory shape (limited by the drift in yaw). However, being ...
متن کاملRF-based Device-Free Localization and Tracking for Ambient Assisted Living
Radio frequency (RF) sensor networks are wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which use only the received signal strength (RSS) to perform tasks such as device-free localization (DFL) and tracking of individuals. In these systems, people to be located do not participate in the localization effort by carrying any radio device or sensor. Instead, a static deployed wireless network measures RSS on its ...
