Outline • Introduction & Related Work • Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • Performance Evaluation • Application to Offline phase
Introduction & Related Work • Traditional techniques: TOA: time of arrival, AOA: angle of arrival… • Modern techniques for indoor environment: Fingerprint, Bayesian modeling, Statistical learning…
Introduction & Related Work • Euclidean distance between some set < variation of RSS measured from those sets • The accuracy of deterministic approach or probabilistic approach has been reported to be similar • Employing proximity graphs for predicting performance of the system
Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • WLAN based system • A square area with L*L=L^2 grids, using the mean of the RSS from N Aps in the area.
Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • The sample vector is denoted as: R = [r1, r2, r3, ..., rN] • The random variables ri (in dBm) for all i are mutually independent. • The random variables ri(in dBm) are normally (or Gaussian) distributed. • The (sample) standard deviation of all the random variables ri is assumed to be identical and denoted by (in dB). • The mean of the random variable ri or E{ri} is denoted as ρi (in dBm).
Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • The assumption that the RSS is normally distributed is acceptable. • When the APs are far from measured location and no direct LOS with, the distribution can be approximated by Gaussian. • R’ = [ρ1, ρ2, ρ3, ..., ρN] as fingerprint vector • Z=norm(R-R’), with central or non-central chi distribution.
Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • PEP (pair-wise error prob.)and PCP(pair-wise correct prob.)=1-PEP Ri’ sdik’ Rk’
Indoor Localization Fingerprint Model • Ck = || Ri’ − Ri|| − || Rk’ − Ri|| is taken to calculate probability of correct decision: • With assumption of independence to simplify
Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • Voronoi Diagram is a set of fingerprints defined as a division of the space according to the nearest-neighbor rules.
Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • Finding neighbor set is relative close to the target location • Three proximity graph: • DG(Delaunay Graph): In the graph, there exists a Delaunay edge between two points u, v if they share the same Voronoi edge as boundary
Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • (GG)Gabriel Graph: a graph that contains a Gabriel edge between two points u, v – if a diametral circle from these two points contains no other point w. Satisfied: (ab)^2<(ac)^2+(bc)^2
Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • (RNG)Relative Neighbor Graph: a graph that contains an edge between two points u, v – if there is no other point w that is imultaneouslycloser to both points than they are to one another. Mathematically, sduv<=max[sduw, sdvw]. w w u v
Analytical Model for Probability Distribution • Given the Mobile Station is at grid i • Remove the effect from remote grids
Performance Evaluation We simulated 10,000 RSS samples from a given MS location and applied the nearest neighbor computation to estimate its location
Application to Offline Phase • Strong RSSs(-60~-40dBm) have low standard deviation(1~2dB) at LOS areas • Week RSSs(-95~-85dBm) have high standard deviation(6~7dB) at NLOS areas • Eliminating unnecessary grids to save effort • Sparse grids on open and large areas • Still need trail-and-error to make sure ‘good’ fingerprints of grids.
