Indoor Positioning System Designed for User Adaptive Systems

The paper deals with the indoor positioning solution based on utilization of IEEE 802.11 network and fingerprinting method. This solution was designed as a part of user adaptive integrated positioning system that provides location-based services in indoor environment. The integrated positioning system is engineered for ubiquitous positioning, i.e. anywhere and anytime. The system for indoor environment is called WifiLOC and it is implemented as a mobile-assisted positioning system. The architecture and fundamental principles of the WifiLOC system are presented in this paper. The positioning system is based on the fingerprinting method, which utilizes signal strength information for position estimation.
