RSSI-based Techniques • Profiling-Based (Collected data is the model) • Needs a lot of data collection to build the model – Take signal strength measures at many points in the site and do a closest match to these points in signal strength vector space. [e. g. , RADAR; INFOCOM 2000] – Build a prior probability distribution at many chosen points and use posterior distributions to determine best estimate of location [e. g. , Robotics; IROS 2003] • Use physical characteristics of signal strength propagation and build a model augmented with a wall attenuation factor • Needs detailed (wall) map of the building; model portability needs to be determined – [e. g. , RADAR; INFOCOM 2000] based on [Rappaport 1992] • Adaptation – Environmental and other changes require model rebuilding ask/15 -Mar-18 17
Steps in Profiling-based Techniques – Collect signal strength measurements from all the APs at many points in the area of interest • Model Generation – Generate a model; could be the parameters of a propagation model or a signal-strength vector map or something else Off-line • Data Collection – Given a signal strength measurement, estimate the location based on: • Euclidean distance in signal space • Maximum likelihood estimate • Some other measure ask/15 -Mar-18 18 On-line • Location Determination
A Deterministic Technique - RADAR Based on Profiling: • Data Collection – Collect many measurements at each location on the grid • Model building: – The same as the collected data • On-line Estimation – Select the location that is the nearest neighbor in signalstrength space to the measured signal strength vector • Reported median error ~2. 9 m Further details may be found in Bahl et al. , Infocom 2000 ask/15 -Mar-18 19
A Deterministic Technique - RADAR Based on Propagation Model: • Data Collection – Collect many measurements at different distances with and without line of sight • Model building: – Estimate propagation model parameters and wall attenuation – Use the model to generate a signal strength map • On-line Estimation – Select the location that is the nearest neighbor in signalstrength space to the measured signal strength vector • Reported median error ~4. 3 m Further details may be found in Bahl et al. , Infocom 2000 ask/15 -Mar-18 20
LEASE – Location Estimation Assisted by Stationary Emitters • Automatic adaptation to changes • “Profiling” handled automatically by using SEs • There is a mapping between client- and infrastructure-based deployments (and LEASE) – Interpretation for Client-based deployment – Sniffers co-located with APs – Points where you profile signal strength from APs = points where you place SEs • Signal Strength model for a sniffer needs to be built using measured signal strengths from SEs – Model using minimal number of SEs (“profiled” points) • Our approach to build signal strength model: – Treat the problem as a data modeling problem • Median error ~5 m (Further details in Krishnan et al. Infocom 2004) ask/15 -Mar-18 21
Components of the LEASE system • Uses sniffers, stationary emitters (SEs) and a location estimation engine (LEE) • SEs – Cheap, battery operated devices at known locations – Transmit a few packets periodically • Sniffers – Record signal strength from the SEs and clients – Feed this information to the LEE AP: SE: Sniffer: LEE: • LEE – (Re-)models the “radio map” for a sniffer in response to signal strength readings of SEs at sniffers – Uses models to locate clients. ask/15 -Mar-18 22
A Profiling-based Probabilistic Technique • Data Collection – Collect many measurements at each location on the grid • Model building: – Histogram of signal strengths at each location (i. e. joint probability distributions) • On-line Estimation – Select the location that maximizes the probability P(location|measured signal vector) • Reported median error ~1 m Further details of this technique may be found in Youssef et al. , Per. Com 2003 ask/15 -Mar-18 23
A Probabilistic Technique without Profiling • Based on hierarchical Bayesian networks • Simultaneously estimate the location of a number of terminals • The signal strength model is a hyperparameter of the Bayesian model • Assume reasonable prior distributions and compute the posterior density given the measurements • Use the computed posterior density to estimate the quantities of interest • Currently uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques • Median error ~5 m ask/15 -Mar-18 24

Median Error in Estimation Method Median Error in Estimation RADAR - Profiling ~3 m RADAR - Propagation ~4. 3 m LEASE ~5 m Probabilistic - Profiling ~1 m Probabilistic – No Profiling ~5 m Elnahrawy et al. observed a localization error of 10 ft (median) and 30 ft 97 (percentile) over a range of algorithms, approaches and environments (SECON 2004) ask/15 -Mar-18 27
Estimation Accuracy The median error values are widely variable. This raises the following questions: • Why are they different? • How do we compare these values? • Is some kind of normalization possible? If so, how? • Are there fundamental limits to location accuracy with this technique? • What is the dependency on factors such as distance between APs? A preliminary analytical attempt to address these questions appeared in A. S. Krishnakumar and P. Krishnan, Infocom 2005. ask/15 -Mar-18 28

Estimation Accuracy The analysis shows that the minimum value of location uncertainty depends upon: • Desired probability α • Signal variance • Propagation constant • Number of APs • Distance between APs ask/15 -Mar-18 30

Conclusion • Indoor location determination presents challenges due multipath propagation and other factors • We can still estimate location accurately enough for many applications • Site engineering affects location accuracy • The same technique has been applied to Bluetooth networks with comparable results • About the only factor affecting location uncertainty that is in control of the algorithm designer appears to be the signal variance ask/15 -Mar-18 32
