WIFE: Wireless Indoor Positioning Based on Fingerprint Evaluation

چکیده
Location awareness of a user or a device has always been considered as a key element for enhancing network performance and improving user experience by enabling efficient mobility and innovative location-based services. In this paper, we present our proposal named WIFE (Wireless Indoor positioning based on Fingerprint Evaluation), a user-based location determination system which utilizes the information of the Signal Strength (SS) received from the surrounding Access Points (APs) inside a building. We focus on a WiFi environment for its low cost and ease of deployment and study fingerprint-based deterministic techniques for their simplicity and reduced processing time and resource requirements. We first address the inherent impairments of an indoor environment which prevent a positioning system from being accurate and then describe our proposed methodology for mitigating them.
