SpotFi: Decimeter Level Localization Using WiFi

SpotFi: Decimeter Level Localization Using WiFiManikanta Kotaru, Kiran Joshi, Dinesh Bharadia, Sachin KattiStanford UniversityStanford, CA, USA{mkotaru, krjoshi, dineshb, paper presents the design and implementation of SpotFi,an accurate indoor Localization system that can be deployedon commodity wifi infrastructure. SpotFi only uses in-formation that is already exposed by wifi chips and doesnot require any hardware or firmware changes, yet achievesthe same accuracy as state-of-the-art Localization makes two key technical contributions. First, SpotFiincorporates super-resolution algorithms that can accuratelycompute the angle of arrival (AoA) of multipath componentseven when the access point (AP) has only three , it incorporates novel filtering and estimation tech-niques to identify AoA of direct path between the localiza-tion target and AP by assigning values for each path depend-ing on how likely the particular path is the direct path.}

Indoor localization using wireless infrastructure is a well-studied problem. There is a large body of research which, for conciseness, we classify into four types: RSSI based, fingerprinting based, antenna array based, and time based techniques. RSSI based approaches: This class of systems measures the RSSI from the target at multiple APs ...
