Impact of the number of access points in indoor fingerprinting localization

In the paper the solution for indoor positioning based on IEEE 802.11 platform is proposed and experimentally verified. The paper investigates an impact of the number of access points on the localization accuracy in fingerprinting method. The solution is based on deterministic approach. The properties of the solution are tested by experimental measurements in real environment.
