A Bayesian Approach for RF-Based Indoor Localisation

Abstract

The proliferation of Wireless LAN and Wireless Sensor Network make the technologies become an attractive proposition for indoor localisation. Both technologies have provided communication infrastructure and hence RF-based localisation with WLAN and WSN becomes a software-only solution. WLAN-based localisation generally provides room accuracy, therefore sensor data fusion with WSN is proposed when better location accuracy is needed. This paper will describe a Bayesian approach for indoor localisation. A suboptimal sequential Bayesian method of Particle Filter combined with Map Filtering technique is used for sensor data fusion between WLAN and WSN. The location system performance also will be evaluated.
