The invention relates to a
wireless range-finding method based on probability
fingerprint calculation, and the method sequentially comprises the following steps: determining a communication scene and the range-finding and positioning dimension, measuring one or more groups of RSSI data, and obtaining a mapping function RSSI = (D, Ang). The method is advantageous in that the communication scene is determined according to a
signal source installation position, a building structure, a visitor flow rate, and the type of receiving equipment; one or more groups of RSSI data are measured through the position of the receiving equipment, and the mapping function RSSI = (D, Ang) is obtained; a measured
distance mapping fingerprint database is divided based on the scene is far higher than a conventional analytical model or an omnibearing
fingerprint database model in accuracy; a random part of a
signal can effectively
resist interference from a
human body and the surroundings, and assists provide a distance estimate reference, more accurate in all directions, for a
triangulation location
algorithm; the method achieves
distance measurement with different precisions in regions of the
signal source at different intervals; and the method can be used for the
distance measurement based on a
wireless signal transmitting device, and also can be used for the distance and direction
estimation in
triangulation location.
