Aimed at the problem of large localization error based on indoor received signal strength indication (RSSI), a RBF neural network (RBFNN) localization algorithm is proposed optimized by improved particle swarm optimization (PSO). Combined with resource allocation network (RAN), the number of nodes in hidden layer increase dynamically to determine the center of RBFNN, the number of nodes in hidden layer and spread constant. The inertia weight of PSO is improved to advance the global search ability of PSO and optimize the output weight of RBFNN. Finally, the optimized RBFNN is used for indoor RSSI positioning. Simulation and experimental results show that the improved localization algorithm has higher positioning accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
