Performance Analysis and Comparison for Wireless Indoor Positioning Systems in Multi-Floor Building

Abstract:

In this paper, performance analysis and comparison for Wireless Indoor Positioning Systems (WIPS) in multi-floor building are presented. Different structures of WIPS are considered. In particular, WIPS structure designed by our proposed technique was compared with other structures designed by an opportunistic approach. The comparisons were conducted by using signal strength data from the real measurement and from simulation models. An efficiency of the simulation models was compared as well. The results show that the WIPS structure designed by our proposed technique yield better indoor positioning performances in term of the accuracy and precision.
