Abstract
ABSTRACT Indoor localization and tracking systems are harvesting more attention from the researchers. Recently, several approaches for localization systems have been proposed that use the sensors which are available on smartphones. In this paper, a new filtering approach based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) techniques to enhance the accuracy of the localization system is presented. The proposed approach filtered out the undesirable Received Signal Strength (RSS) values which affect the accuracy of the system using the hidden states. The proposed approach helps in the direction and the distance estimation. The results of the proposed approach show a significant improvement in terms of distance estimation and the filtering of the RSS values.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, designs and experiences in the rapidly growing field of location based services on networked mobile devices. It is intended to interest those who design, implement and deliver location based services in a wide range of contexts. Published research will span the field from location based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location based services a reality.
