An Indoor 3D Location Tracking System Using RSSI

Representation of indoor 3D location tracking had been an advantage to globally supported to track the mobile unit everywhere, even in different level of building. Our main focus is presenting development of indoor 3D location tracking to replace the existing 2D location tracking. The 2D location tracking mechanism only supports tracking the mobile unit position in the same level and provides handover or device switching. If the users need to go to another level, user will have to disconnect the connection. The development of the system that has a location tracking mechanism responsible to track the position of the mobile unit (such as laptop and PDA). In this paper, the system running in IPv4 framework and set up as a read test bed. The proposed location tracking will be based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The 3D location tracking system will be purely software based with minimum hardware dependent.
