Accurate Entrance Position Detection Based on Wi-Fi and GPS Signals Using Machine Learning (1912.04556v1)

Abstract: This paper aims at detecting an accurate position of the main entrance of the buildings. The proposed approach relies on the fact that the GPS signals drop significantly when the user enters a building. Moreover, as most of the public buildings provide Wi-Fi services, the Wi-Fi received signal strength (RSS) can be utilized in order to detect the entrance of the buildings. The rationale behind this paper is that the GPS signals decrease as the user gets close to the main entrance and the Wi-Fi signal increases as the user approaches the main entrance. Several real experiments have been conducted in order to guarantee the feasibility of the proposed approach. The experiment results have shown an interesting result and the accuracy of the whole system was one meter
