With the development of new technologies, there has been an upsurge in the demand for precise localization in both outdoor and indoor environments. While a Global Positioning System (GPS) provides sufficient positioning precision in outdoor settings, its accuracy declines in indoor scenarios, necessitating the development of novel positioning approaches that function accurately both indoors and outdoors. The use of various Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) parameters for localization has been conceptualized. In this study, we attempt to do localization using machine learning methods on WLAN Received Signal Strength Indicator (WLAN RSSI) measurements. We compare the performance of multiple machine learning algorithms on the data set to see which can be used to design efficient future localization systems. The proposed study has achieved second place for the problem statement "ITU-ML5G-PS-016: Location estimation using RSSI of wireless LAN" in AI/ML in 5G Challenge 2021 organized by the International Telecommunication Union.
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.
