Abstract
Location knowledge in indoor environment using Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) has become very useful and popular in recent years. Indoor wireless localization suffers from severe multi-path fading and non-line-of-sight conditions. This paper presents a novel indoor localization framework based on sensor fusion of Zigbee Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) using Received Signal Strength (RSS). The unknown position is equipped with two or more mobile nodes. The range between two mobile nodes is fixed as priori. The attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw) of the mobile node are measured by inertial sensors (ISs). Then the angle and the range between any two nodes can be obtained, and thus the path between the two nodes can be modeled as a curve. Through an efficient cooperation between two or more mobile nodes, this framework effectively exploits the RSS techniques. This constraint help improve the…
