Key Factors for Position Errors in 802.11-based Indoor Positioning Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indoor positioning systems based on 802.11 and fingerprints offer reasonably low position errors. We study the key factors for position errors by systematically investigating (1) the number of access points, (2) the number of samples in the training phase, (3) the number of samples in the position determination phase, and (4) the setup of the grid of reference points. Further, we squeeze out the best of the positioning system by selecting advantageous values for these parameters. For our study, we utilize a test environment with a size of about 312 square meters that is covered with 612 reference points arranged in an equally

Error Estimation for Indoor 802.11 Location Fingerprinting
802.11-based indoor positioning systems have been under research for quite some time now. However, despite the large attention this topic has gained, most of the research focused on the calculation of position estimates. In this paper, we go a step further and investigate how the position error that is inherent to 802.11-based positioning systems can be estimated. Knowing the position error is ...
