Most existing works utilize the Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Flight (ToF), and Doppler Frequency Shift (DFS) of the Channel State Information (CSI) to track human motions. However, they usually require multiple pairs of Wi-Fi devices and extensive data training to achieve accurate results, which is unrealistic in practical applications.

We take the Doppler velocity as the measurement and employ a particle filter to estimate the motion trajectory. A particle weight update method based on phase difference information is developed to eliminate particles with low confidence.

As appealing as it is, the approach faces several challenges: measurement noises, different device-carrying modes, different user dynamics, and individual walking characteristics. Recent research applies artificial intelligence (AI) to improve inertial navigation's robustness and accuracy. Our analysis identifies two main categories of AI approaches depending on the inertial signals segmentation: 1) either using human gait events (steps or strides) or 2) fixed-length inertial data segments. A theoretical analysis of the fundamental assumptions is carried out for each category. Two state-of-the-art AI algorithms (SELDA, RoNIN), representative of each category, and a gait-driven non-AI method (SmartWalk) are evaluated in a 2.17-km-long open-access dataset, representative of the diversity of pedestrians' mobility surroundings (open-sky, indoors, forest, urban, parking lot). SELDA is an AI-based stride length estimation algorithm, RoNIN is an AI-based positioning method, and SmartWalk is a gait-driven non-AI positioning method. The experimental assessment shows the distinct features in each category and their limits with respect to the underlying hypotheses. On average, SELDA, RoNIN, and SmartWalk achieve 8-m, 22-m, and 17-m average positioning errors (RMSE), respectively, on six testing tracks recorded with two volunteers in various environments.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"1 ","pages":"26-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/9955032/9962767/10108968.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50323045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, UWB localization systems require the installation of infrastructure devices (anchor nodes) with known positions to serve as reference points. These coordinates are of utmost importance for the performance of the indoor localization system as the position of the mobile tag(s) will be calculated based on this information. Currently most large-scale systems require manual measurement of the anchor coordinates, which is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Therefore, we propose an algorithmic approach whereby based on measurements of the position of a small random chosen subset of anchors, the position of all other anchors is calculated automatically by collecting distances between all anchors with two-way-ranging UWB. In this article we present a three stage algorithm which contains: 1) an initialization phase; 2) a global optimization phase; and 3) an optional extra calibration phase with a mobile node. In contrast to related work, our approach also works in multihop environments with severe non-line-of-sight effects. In a real world multihop Industry 4.0 environment with metal racks as obstacles and 18 UWB nodes, the algorithm is able to localize the anchors with an mean absolute error of only 21.6 cm.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"1 ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/9955032/9962767/10124958.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50323188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel approach mimicking radar behavior is presented to collect the relevant data. Channel state information is proposed for training of the neural network and enabling the environment detection to obtain the desired situational awareness. The proposed detection approach is evaluated in three types of environments: 1) indoor, 2) open outdoor, and 3) crowded urban.
