Abstract

Context: Many heuristics-based indoor positioning approaches have been developed to enhance positioning estimation. However, there is no comprehensive survey of these heuristics information and methods. Objective: The main objective of this study is to provide a holistic view and an in-depth analysis of what heuristics information and methods have been used, their general achievements and limitations. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary to facilitate further research on indoor positioning heuristics. Method: We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) on indoor positioning heuristics. Results: Ninety-three (93) primary studies were selected. We found two general types of heuristics information and four primary heuristics methods, which we summarised in this paper. We also found that many of these positioning heuristics are tested in experimental settings only. Some heuristics claim practical applications but are not tested for the challenging and typical indoor environments. Conclusion: Most existing heuristics information and methods rely on the assumptions that may not be true in real life environment, hence limiting the usefulness of the positioning outcomes. Based on the analysis of this SLR, we propose two research directions to enhance positioning estimation.

基于启发式的室内定位系统:系统的文献综述

背景:许多基于启发式的室内定位方法已经被开发出来，以增强定位估计。然而，目前对这些启发式信息和方法还没有全面的研究。目的:本研究的主要目的是提供一个整体的观点，并深入分析哪些启发式信息和方法已经被使用，他们的一般成就和局限性。本研究旨在为室内定位启发式的进一步研究提供全面的总结。方法:对室内定位启发式方法进行系统的文献综述。结果:入选93项初步研究。我们发现了两种一般类型的启发式信息和四种主要的启发式方法，并在本文中进行了总结。我们还发现，许多这些定位启发式仅在实验环境中进行了测试。一些启发式方法声称有实际应用，但没有对具有挑战性和典型的室内环境进行测试。结论:大多数现有的启发式信息和方法依赖于在现实生活环境中可能不正确的假设，因此限制了定位结果的有用性。在对该单反进行分析的基础上，提出了增强定位估计的两个研究方向。

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.
