Abstract
Aiming to solve one of the serious problems of radio-signal strength (RSS) indoor positioning (namely, fluctuation of RSS values due to reflective waves), a novel indoor-positioning method based on RSS distribution modeling (called "RSS distribution modeling using the mirror-image method," RD-MMI), was developed and evaluated. With RDMMI, a model of RSS distribution is created by using measured RSS and considering reflective waves. RDMMI achieves an average positioning error of 4 m, which is better than that of conventional nearest-neighbor and trilateration methods by 50 to 60%. Furthermore, it accomplishes average positioning error of 5.4 m even with a small number of non-uniformly placed RSS measurements.
