    The increasing adoption of indoor localization has increased demand for location-based services (LBS) to enhance daily efficiency. Fingerprinting is a widely used method due to its high accuracy and resilience to multipath fading, but it requires dense sampling and extensive data collection, making large-scale site surveys labor-intensive and often impractical. To alleviate these challenges, interpolation and regression-based methods have been explored for their scalability and reduced manual effort. However, these approaches often struggle to model the complex, multimodal nature of real-world Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) distributions. To address this limitation, we propose a novel Region-Aware Adaptive Ensemble Regressor (RAER) for generating synthetic RSSI values. RAER adapts to the statistical characteristics of the training data to efficiently produce high-quality virtual RSSI maps with low computational cost. The model integrates two components: 1) a clustering algorithm that partitions the radio map based on fingerprint signal similarity, and 2) an adaptive ensemble regression framework that combines multiple base regressors using weighted averaging, where weights are inversely proportional to each regressor’s mean absolute error (MAE). By prioritizing regressors with lower localization error, RAER improves the realism of synthetic RSSI data and enhances radio map accuracy. Experimental evaluations conducted in a multi-story university building demonstrate that RAER can reconstruct radio maps, which reduces the need for site surveys by up to 25%. Furthermore, it improves localization accuracy by 5.06%, outperforming existing methods and offering a scalable and practical solution for fingerprint-based indoor positioning systems.

    C-MEL: Consensus-Based Multiple Ensemble Learning for Indoor Device-Free Localization Through Fingerprinting

    The rise of location-aware services is enhancing the effectiveness of our daily tasks, especially within indoor environments where most activities take place. Wireless indoor localization systems are the predominant method for estimating locations indoors. These systems utilize two primary approaches: device-based and device-free. Device-based techniques are attracting considerable research attention due to their ability to offer highly accurate localization in most scenarios. Conversely, device-free techniques are increasingly popular because they can determine a target's location without the target carrying a device. This capability makes them suitable for certain applications such as elderly monitoring and intruder tracking. The most popular technique for both approaches is fingerprinting, which uses the uniqueness of spatial information to predict a target's location. This spatial information is stored in a fingerprint database, containing locations and their associated parameters. However, in device-free methods, the fingerprint technique encounters challenges in accurately recognizing the complexity of each parameter combination pattern, thus impacting the accuracy of the estimation. To overcome this issue, we introduce a novel indoor device-free localization (IDFL) pattern matching algorithm named Consensus-based Multiple Ensemble Learning (C-MEL). This algorithm incorporates consensus strategies, i.e., majority voting and average strategy, to integrate outputs from various ensemble learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, and LightGBM. We validate our algorithm in an 18 m2 office space featuring stainless steel partitions, tables, chairs, and cabinets. Experimental results show that C-MEL using the average strategy (C-MEL-AV) enhances accuracy by up to 44.51%, 11.26%, and 37.85%, while C-MEL with majority voting (C-MEL-MV) improves by up to 40.56%, 4.95%, and 33.44% compared to Decision Tree, Gradient Boosting, and 1D CNN-BLSTM, respectively. Based on these results, C-MEL-AV emerges as a reliable approach for accurate IDFL based on the fingerprint technique, while C-MEL-MV remains a viable alternative for IDFL systems.
