Multiband received signal strength fingerprint based location system

In this paper, we proposed multiband received signal strength fingerprint (MRSS) based location system employing the frequency diversity of received signal strength (RSS). The enhancements of estimated accuracy contribute to the frequency diversity. This paper shows the experimental results under the area of 103 m2, we achieved the accuracy improvement over 40 percent, comparing with the singleband RF fingerprint.
