Received Signal Strength (RSS)-based Wi-Fi localization offers a cost-effective solution for multi-floor indoor location estimation. However, its accuracy is often degraded by signal fading, multipath propagation, and device heterogeneity, posing major challenges to reliable localization. Recent studies have increasingly employed deep neural networks due to their ability to extract meaningful patterns from RSS data; however, these models require substantial computational resources and extensive parameter tuning, which limits their adaptability across diverse dynamic environments. To address these limitations, we propose DELLoc-RT, a localization framework integrating Dynamic Ensemble Learning (DELLoc) with RSS Transformation (RT) for accurate, efficient, and adaptable multi-floor indoor localization. The RT module applies Sigmoid-scaled normalization and confidence weighting to convert RSS values into compact, learnable features. DELLoc employs multiple base learners optimized via the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator with a pruning strategy (TPE-PS) that accelerates convergence by focusing on promising configurations. Additionally, Iterative Ensemble Optimization with Stepwise Selection (IEO-SS) selects complementary learners to enhance overall performance. Experimental results demonstrate that DELLoc-RT achieves floor classification accuracies of 93.32%, 94.38%, and 94.02% on the UJIIndoorLoc, UTSIndoorLoc, and Tampere datasets, respectively, with mean Euclidean errors (MEE) of 10.63 m, 7.87 m, and 8.19 m. These results highlight the model’s strong adaptability across diverse datasets. Evaluation on a self-constructed dataset further confirms that DELLoc-RT delivers high accuracy and efficiency while substantially reducing the need for manual tuning, enabling rapid deployment in practical scenarios.

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.

Deep learning (DL) application is proven helpful in a vast research field. One recent trend is to employ DL in radio frequency (RF)-based indoor localization. The fingerprint technique is the most used indoor localization technique known for its accuracy and performance. However, the fingerprint technique pays a high cost and effort in offline database construction, while its performance solely depends on the database density. Moreover, to apply deep learning, we also need a large dataset for it to learn efficiently. We propose to implement a DL-based fingerprint technique to tackle both problems of dataset scarcity and localization performance. We propose the DL's discriminative model, i.e., multilayer perceptron (MLP), for classification tasks. For the fingerprint database augmentation, we employed the generative model, i.e., Generative adversarial networks (GANs). We considered using a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from a measurement campaign based on Wi-Fi devices for the database. The total area of interest is 25 m<sup>2</sup> inside the typical classroom environment, and we consider the 25 fingerprint locations as labels. We have a dataset of 1,250 rows x 8 columns (from 8 reference points). From the results, by using only 50% of actual data combined with the 125 synthetic data, we can improve the accuracy by more than 200% compared to only using 50% of actual data and show a 60% improvement in the loss. The combination of 100% actual data and 125 synthetic data gives the best accuracy and loss performance of 0.76 and 0.85, respectively. It gives an improvement of 144% in accuracy and 200% loss performance. By implementing deep learning for fingerprint techniques for data augmentation and classification, we can achieve good performance and reduce the workload of fingerprint database construction.

Internet of Things (IoT)-based Indoor localization is the most commonly used system to determine target locations indoors. It applies to various purposes, e.g., indoor navigation, asset tracking in warehouse management, and tracking people in hospitals. Distance-based techniques using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), e.g., Min-Max, are widely applied because they can be directly implemented without prerequisite work such as site surveys. However, a challenging indoor environment with high numbers of interiors and people can obstruct signal propagation. This obstruction can reduce the accuracy of translating RSSI to distance using the path loss model, which will degrade the localization accuracy. In this paper, we introduce two improved Min-Max (MM) algorithms, i.e., Three Layer Bounding Box Min-Max (TLB-MM) and Weighted Centroid TLB-MM (WC-TLB-MM), to alleviate the issue and achieve higher localization accuracy. The novelty of the proposed TLB-MM is incorporating RSSI error functions to generate three-layer bounding boxes: the inner, middle, and outer in the Min-Max algorithm. Meanwhile, WC-TLB-MM enhanced the TLB-MM algorithm by integrating the Weighted Centroid Localization Algorithm (WCLA) in the calculation process. We validate our proposal by conducting various experiments using Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz deployed in a laboratory room of 10.17 m ×9.12 m. Experimental results demonstrate that TLB-MM improved the accuracy performance to 55.78% and 30.86%, while WC-TLB-MM gave 40.93% and 7.65% compared to Min-Max and WCLA, respectively. From these results, our proposed methods are proven simple yet applicable to RSSI-based indoor localization systems.

Indoor Device-free Localization Using Received Signal Strength Indicator and Illuminance Sensor for Random-forest-based Fingerprint Technique

Indoor device-free localization (IDFL) offers more flexibility than conventional indoor localization (device-based) systems, as the targets or objects need not be equipped with any device to be located. In the process of IDFL, the target is passive, enabling applications such as monitoring of elderly people, security systems to detect intruders, and indoor navigation. Despite having more flexibility than device-based systems, IDFL is still inferior in terms of localization performance. The most commonly used technique for IDFL is the fingerprint technique, which uses the uniqueness of spatial information to predict the target's location. The spatial information is a fingerprint database containing information on locations and their corresponding parameters. The most specific parameter for the fingerprint database is the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). RSSI can be obtained directly from many low-cost devices, i.e., Wi-Fi-based devices, without the need to install additional hardware. The fingerprint technique is a two-phase process: The database is constructed in the offline phase, and a matching process to compare the target's current parameter with those in the database is performed in the online phase. We propose fingerprint-technique-based IDFL using RSSI and illumination from an illuminance sensor as the additional parameters of the fingerprint database. Both parameters are recorded by considering two scenarios: An empty room and a person standing in the fingerprint grids. The constructed database is the person-filled room subtracted from the empty room database. We use random forest, one of the machine learning (ML) algorithms, as the pattern-matching algorithm. We evaluate its performance by comparison with two other ML algorithms: K-nearest neighbor (k-NN) and neural networks (NN). The results show that k-NN has better accuracy than the random forest for learning and testing in terms of the root mean square error (RMSE). On the other hand, the random forest has better accuracy than NN and better precision than either k-NN or NN for learning and testing in terms of the standard deviation (STD). The results show the possibility of improving the IDFL performance by adding more parameters to the fingerprint database and using an ML-based pattern-matching algorithm.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a vital role in indoor localization development. As today, there are more demands in location-based service (LBS), mainly indoor environments, which put the researches on indoor localization massive attention. As the global-positioning-system (GPS) is unreliable indoor, some methods in WSNs-based indoor localization have been developed. Path loss model-based can be useful for providing the power-distance relationship the distance-based indoor localization. Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) has been commonly utilized and proven to be a reliable yet straightforward metric in the distance-based method. We face issues related to the complexity of indoor localization to be deployed in a real situation. Hence, it motivates us to propose a simple yet having acceptable accuracy results. In this research, we applied the standard distance-based methods, which are is trilateration and min-max or bounding box algorithm. We used the RSSI values as the localization parameter from the ZigBee standard. We utilized the general path loss model to estimate the traveling distance between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) based on the RSSI values. We conducted measurements in a simple indoor lobby environment to validate the performance of our proposed localization system. The results show that the min-max algorithm performs better accuracy compared to the trilateration, which yields an error distance of up to 3m. By these results, we conclude that the distance-based method using ZigBee standard working on 2.4 GHz center frequency can be reliable in the range of 1-3m. This small range is affected by the existence of interference objects (IOs) lead to signal multipath, causing the unreliability of RSSI values. These results can be the first step for building the indoor localization system, which low-cost, low-complexity, and can be applied in many fields, especially indoor robots and small devices in internet-of-things (IoT) world's today.

In this paper, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is used for localization system. The location of a RFID reader is estimated based on the known locations of RFID tags using the UHF band RFID system. The new location estimation method based on the angulation technique is proposed to determine the reader location in real time. For angulation technique, the RFID reader is held on the camera tripod and it is considered as the target to be localized. The passive tags are attached at the known location and considered as the references. In this case, the RFID tags are put in the horizontal straight line on different sides on the walls (around the corner). The required parameter is the angle between the tag and the reader. In this paper, a compass is employed to measure the angle between the tag and the reader. Therefore, at least two angles are needed and further used to calculate the true location of the reader by using two formulated linear equations. This technique is verified using the experiment data. Two experiments are conducted with two different distances between tags and reader, i.e. 100 cm and 150 cm. The experiment results of location estimation show that the average location estimation error is around 16 cm for the 100 cm distance and around 20 cm for the 150 cm distance. This implies that the proposed method is satisfied to use for indoor applications. ©2009 IEEE.

In this paper, the human body effect on indoor localization is evaluated based on experiments. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is used for this localization system. The location of a RFID reader is estimated based on the known locations of the RFID tags attached to the ceiling with 60 cm separation. Two cases of experiments are considered. For the first case, the RFID reader is attached to the camera tripod and the second case, it is attached to human body. Then, two simple location estimation methods are employed. To evaluate the effect of human body on the localization, the results of location estimation with and without human are compared. The experimental results illustrate that the human body affects the location estimation in some certain. However, the error of location estimation is still less than 50 cm which is applicable for some indoor applications. ©2009 IEEE.
