Abstract:
The demand for Location Based Service (LBS) is increasing in the development of communication and mobile technologies. Moreover, location determination technologies especially for indoor environments are getting a lot of attention. Most indoor positioning methods just make use of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements that generate from the same floor. However, usually RSSI measurements are available from different floors. In that case, we have to consider the Dilution of Precision (DOP) used in satellite positioning systems. With this in mind, we can choose a better Access Point (AP) configuration than that of when using only APs in the same floor. In this paper, to improve the accuracy of indoor positioning, we propose an indoor positioning method that includes APs placed in different floors and takes into consideration the DOP.
