Abstract
Nowadays, with the rapid development of location based services, the indoor positioning technology has become a hot research topic. In order to eliminate interference factors of indoor wireless signal propagation and improve the accuracy adaptability of indoor location, we design and implement an indoor location algorithm based on differential signal strength method. We reduce the effect of the fluctuation of wireless signal and improve the signal stability by using the first order difference method to deal with the collected signal strength parameters. According to small scale multipath effects of wireless signals are approximately equal in the same environment, we combine difference localization theory and plane geometric method to get the indoor target’s position. Our positioning algorithm can adapt to various indoor location technology and has good compatibility.
