Résumé:
Location Fingerprinting (LF) is a promising
localization technique that enables many commercial and
industrial Location-based Services (LBS). In this paper, a
Channel Impulse Response (CIR) based indoor localization
system is proposed. To fully exploit the most locationspecific multipath information, we first conduct a powerbased time tap filtering for the received CIR measurements.
Furthermore, we experimentally observe that the filtered
CIR data exhibits a multivariate circularly-symmetric
Gaussian feature, which hints that fingerprinting positioning can be implemented by using a more accurate
probabilistic method with a less computational complexity.
In the online position determination phase, the KullbackLeibler Distance (KLD) is adopted to quantify the similarities between the received measurements of target and the
fingerprint database. Afterwards, we employ a probability
kernel based regression approach to accurately infer the
estimated target’s location. Through extensive experiments
performed on CRAWDAD database, the efficiency of our
proposed scheme is validated
