Indoor Positioning Techniques Based on Wireless LAN

As well as delivering high speed internet, Wireless LAN (WLAN) can be used as an effective indoor positioning system. It is competitive in terms of both accuracy and cost compared to similar systems. To date, several signal strength based techniques have been proposed. Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed several innovative implementations of WLAN positioning systems. This paper describes the techniques used and details the experimental results of the research.
