Indoor Localization
Thematic Area: Networking
While the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have in fact solved the outdoor localization challenge, there is no similarly general solution for indoor environments. Indoor positioning is an open research issue, solved by means of ad hoc solutions using and extremely wide range of signaling technologies in terms of hardware used, metrics and processing algorithms. Our studies concentrate on the use of the received power strength (RSS) collected by the ubiquitous sensors present in smart environments, and on data collected from smartphone transducers.
