Indoor Positioning Using WCL Based on RSSI

Abstract

This paper presents the use of RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) in terms of Wi-Fi Signals for calculating the current position of the user. For Outdoor Navigation satellite signals are the best option but those are not sufficient for Indoor Positioning. There has been associate degree upward trend within the demand of indoor positioning systems victimization Bluetooth low energy (BLE), Wi-Fi and visual light weight communication. There are numerous centroid algorithms used to calculate the current position but the one which we are using over here is Weighted Centroid Localization (WCL) algorithm using RSSI values. This WCL is simulated and the results are calculated in terms of error rate.
