Nowadays, there are a multitude of solutions for indoor positioning, as opposed to standards for outdoor positioning such as GPS. Among the different existing studies on indoor positioning, the use of Wi-Fi signals together with Machine Learning algorithms is one of the most important, as it takes advantage of the current deployment of Wi-Fi networks and the increase in the computing power of computers. Thanks to this, the number of articles published in recent years has been increasing. This fact makes a review necessary in order to understand the current state of this field and to classify different parameters that are very useful for future studies. What are the most widely used machine learning techniques? In what situations have they been tested? How accurate are they? Have datasets been properly used? What type of Wi-Fi signals have been used? These and other questions are answered in this analysis, in which 119 papers are analyzed in depth following PRISMA guidelines.
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.
