Indoor positioning system based on received signal strength (RSS) fingerprinting: Case in Politeknik Caltex Riau

Abstract

Location detection system utilizing wireless LAN technology is an interesting field to study. The technique is widely used by researchers to build an indoor location detection system is fingerprint. Fingerprint is an information gathering phase of the received signal strength (RSS) by coordinate measuring instrument in particular. The system is able to overcome the limitations of GPS is not capable of providing location information in an indoor area. The results were analyzed by using a location estimate 80 test data and 1040 data from the fingerprint that has been selected. Accuracy of the results of this test reached 72.5% for the coordinate accuracy with an average error distance of 2 meters.
