Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of indoor positioning, and in particular relates to a new WIFi fingerprint-based method for indoor position positioning through area clusters. Background technique
[0002] In the last two decades, location-based services for more and more personalized indoor environments have stimulated the development of various indoor positioning systems (IPS). A range of different positioning technologies are deployed for indoor position estimation, such as GNSS, ultrasound, ultra-wideband (UWB) and WiFi. There are two main challenges in WiFi indoor positioning technology: multipath effect and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) effect. Therefore, most WiFi indoor positioning systems use fingerprint technology for position estimation, which consists of two stages: a calibration stage (offline stage) and a positioning stage (online stage). The calibration phase builds a fingerprint of the location area by correlating the WiFi sign...
