A Platform for the Evaluation of Fingerprint Positioning Algorithms on Android Smartphones

چکیده
We present an Android smartphone platform for the evaluation of RSS fingerprint-based algorithms. Our system follows a mobile-based network-assisted architecture to eliminate the communication overhead and respect user privacy. When a user enters our university campus a smartphone client conducts a single communication with a dedicated server to receive the RSS radiomap and algorithm-specific parameters. The client is thereafter able to position itself independently.We have developed a RSS Logger application to facilitate the construction of the radiomap, which can then be downloaded from our Distribution Server. The positioning application is implemented on the mobile devices and we have integrated several fingerprint methods.

Implementation of Wi-Fi Signal Sampling on an Android Smartphone for Indoor Positioning Systems
Collecting and maintaining radio fingerprint for wireless indoor positioning systems involves considerable time and labor. We have proposed the quick radio fingerprint collection (QRFC) algorithm which employed the built-in accelerometer of Android smartphones to implement step detection in order to assist in collecting radio fingerprints. In the present study, we divided the algorithm into mov...
متن کاملAn Open Platform for Studying and Testing Context-Aware Indoor Positioning Algorithms
This paper presents an open platform for studying and analyzing indoor positioning algorithms. While other such platforms exist, this one features novelties related to the collection and use of additional context data. The platform features a mobile client side, currently implemented on Android. It enables manual collection of radiomaps—i.e. fingerprints of WiFi signals— while also allowing for...
متن کاملAn Open-source Framework for Smartphone-based Indoor Localization
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 کاملAggrandizing the beast's limbs: patulous code reuse attack on ARM architecture
Since smartphones are usually personal devices full of private information, they are a popular target for a vast variety of real-world attacks such as Code Reuse Attack (CRA). CRAs enable attackers to execute any arbitrary algorithm on a device without injecting an executable code. Since the standard platform for mobile devices is ARM architecture, we concentrate on available ARM-based CRAs. Cu...
متن کاملLess Energy Higher Accuracy: Smartphone Localization via Social Collaboration
The popularity of GPS-enabled smartphones enables a wide variety of new location-based or location-aware services and applications. However, the GPS module in a smartphone produces inaccurate position information and incurs high energy consumption, which inhibits the wide use of locationaware applications. To address this, we propose a social-aided cooperative localization scheme, which is capa...
