Current approches of Wifi Positioning

چکیده
WiFi positioning plays an increasingly important role in improving performance because good positioning can improve performance in indoor environments without additional devices. It will make use of existing WiFi infrastructure, although this was never designed to do so. Methods that were used for other positioning technologies can be adopted for WiFi. Whether or not these other methods work with WiFi will be explained and examined. This paper also discusses the accuracy of the methods and the optimal area of application.

An Indoor Positioning System Based on Wi-Fi for Energy Management in Smart Buildings
To offer indoor services to occupants in the context of smart buildings, it is necessary to consider information concerning to the identity and location of the occupants. This paper proposes an indoor positioning system (IPS) based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) method. The positioning of a mobile device (MD) using Wi-Fi technology involves online and offline phases. In this...
متن کاملContinuous Indoor Positioning Fusing WiFi, Smartphone Sensors and Landmarks
To exploit the complementary strengths of WiFi positioning, pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR), and landmarks, we propose a novel fusion approach based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF). For WiFi positioning, unlike previous fusion approaches setting measurement noise parameters empirically, we deploy a kernel density estimation-based model to adaptively measure the related measurement noise stat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Wifi Technologies for Indoor Positioning Applications
For the majority of applications that use positioning information, solutions from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can easily meet the accuracy, availability and reliability required. This assumes that the GNSS receiver is always operating in an environment that offers clear sky visibility. However, for a growing number of location based services and system, operation in urban or indo...
متن کاملComparison of WiFi positioning on two mobile devices
Metropolitan WiFi positioning is widely used to complement GPS on mobile devices. WiFi positioning typically has very fast time-to-first-fix and can provide reliable location information when GPS signals are too weak for a position fix. Several commercial WiFi positioning systems have been developed in recent years and most newer model smart phones have the technology embedded. This study empir...
متن کاملAn Improved WiFi Indoor Positioning Algorithm by Weighted Fusion
The rapid development of mobile Internet has offered the opportunity for WiFi indoor positioning to come under the spotlight due to its low cost. However, nowadays the accuracy of WiFi indoor positioning cannot meet the demands of practical applications. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved WiFi indoor positioning algorithm by weighted fusion. The proposed algorithm is based o...
