Indoor positioning systems have been of great importance, especially for applications that require the precise location objects and users. Convolutional neural network-based indoor (IPS) garnered much interest in recent years due to their ability achieve high accuracy low error, regardless signal fluctuation. Nevertheless, a powerful CNN framework comes with computational cost. Hence, there wil...

A single model usually cannot learn all the appropriate features with limited data, thus leading to poor performance when test data are used. To improve performance, we propose a teacher-student collaborative knowledge distillation (TSKD) method based on and self-distillation. The consists of two parts: learning in teacher network self-teaching student network. Learning allows use from Self-tea...
