Abstract
En 中文
In indoor localization, reliability and optimization analysis are the most vital factors to be considered. Numerous modern-day services require precise location information for their application. Location fingerprinting using WLAN is the most acknowledged technique for indoor localization purposes. Both accuracy and coverage can be enhanced by deploying the WLAN access points (APs) appropriately. In this article, an optimization problem is formulated for reliable localization systems. An AP deployment strategy ensuring coverage along with a selection strategy to choose an optimal configuration for reducing the localization error has been implemented. A hybrid technique is proposed to select the optimal APs configuration that merges the traditional fingerprint difference and geometric dilution of precision-based methods. A distinguishing feature of this work is the inclusion of two significant constraints, which are the consideration of walls and people attenuation factor in the optimization process. Simulations are conducted to test and verify the practicality of the proposed technique through a number of comparison test cases. The results demonstrate that our proposed technique outperforms the previously existing techniques.
