Indoor localization using Wi-Fi method based on Fingerprinting Technique

In recent years, the mobility market has experienced a phenomenal growth in the productivity of electronic equipment and development of new telecommunication services. This has given birth to the idea of providing services based on the user's position in several sectors. Although Global Positioning System (GPS) considered as the best solution for an open-air localization (Outdoor), it is inaccurate in urbanized and indoor environments and adaptation of such systems to those contexts are particularly challenging due to the disability of GPS signal to penetrate buildings because it needs to be in sight. Various indoor localization techniques were conducted to provide the best solution to deploy. This paper describes an implementation of Wi-Fi fingerprinting method using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) from access points to determine the position of users in indoor areas.
