چکیده
ambient assisted living is an area of interest because of the potential for aid in needs and difficulties for the elderly or disabled. These systems have the potential to help control medication intake up to saving lives by complex monitoring. In this type of monitoring, an indoor localization system is necessary. We propose an indoor localization system based on existing WiFi networks, which doubles as a platform to store positional data. This is implemented through location fingerprinting with added value and precision.

1. EXTENDED ABSTRACT Introduction. Location-based services have recently experienced a huge growth of interest to support any entertainment, social media, rescue, advertisement, sport and navigation applications. Indoor technologies for localization spans several options, yet the recent trend is to make use of already available smartphones and make them indoor navigation capable. This approach ...
متن کاملAn Improved Approach for RSSI-Based only Calibration-Free Real-Time Indoor Localization on IEEE 802.11 and 802.15.4 Wireless Networks
Assuming a reliable and responsive spatial contextualization service is a must-have in IEEE 802.11 and 802.15.4 wireless networks, a suitable approach consists of the implementation of localization capabilities, as an additional application layer to the communication protocol stack. Considering the applicative scenario where satellite-based positioning applications are denied, such as indoor en...
متن کاملIndoor Localization of Mobile Devices for a Wireless Monitoring System Based on Crowdsourcing
This thesis presents the possibility of doing indoor localization using smartphones. Because smartphones are becoming more and more common today, deploying a localization system based on data gathered by mobile phones is a cheap and viable solution. This work focuses on two aspects: sensor evaluation and indoor localization (of devices and access points). In order to understand how different co...
متن کاملIndoor Positioning using the IEEE 802.11 Infrastructure
We propose a new indoor localization method which can be used to track a mobile node . Our method uses only the received signal strengths as input information . In addition our approach doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the mobile node’s motion and therefore doesn’t use a cinematic motion model for tracking the mobile node. We discuss in detail the features of our approach and its resultin...
متن کاملFusing Bluetooth Beacon Data with Wi-Fi Radiomaps for Improved Indoor Localization
Indoor user localization and tracking are instrumental to a broad range of services and applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) and particularly in Body Sensor Networks (BSN) and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) scenarios. Due to the widespread availability of IEEE 802.11, many localization platforms have been proposed, based on the Wi-Fi Received Signal Strength (RSS) indicator, using algori...
