Abstract:

Pervasive positioning provides uninterrupted positional information in both indoor and outdoor locations for a wide spectrum of location based service (LBS) applications. With the rapid enlargement of the low-cost and high speed data communication, Wi-Fi networks in many metropolitan cities, strength of signals broadcasted from the Wi-Fi access points (APs) namely received signal strength (RSS) have been smartly adopted for indoor positioning. In this paper, a Wi-Fi positioning algorithm based on neural network modeling of Wi-Fi signal patterns is planned. This algorithm is based on the
