Investigating the Performance of Pure Lateration in Indoor Environments Based On Varying Number of Access Points and Iterations

Abstract

Nowadays, determining the location of the users and devices in indoor buildings is promising research topic. Accurate position determination of the users for indoor environments is used for numerous applications such as public safety, supermarkets, health care applications, travelling, social networks and tourism. However, global positioning systems created for outdoor localizations cannot be used for indoor positioning systems (IPS) because detecting the exact position of a target is an issue for IPS. For indoor environments, there are several positioning algorithms such as lateration, fingerprinting, dead reckoning etc. Lateration is low cost and easy to deploy when compared to other existing algorithms. Therefore, in this study, received signal strength based pure lateration that uses synthetic data generated from MATLAB is proposed. The performance of pure lateration is investigated in terms of several performance metrics such as effect of varying number of the access points (AP), varying Gaussian Noise power and variations based on iterations. The simulation of the pure lateration algorithm is conducted in MATLAB. The effect of the performance metrics is investigated and discussed in details. According to the results, accuracy performance of lateration is increased when the number of APs increase in the area, however this will bring some hardware costs. As expected, when the Gaussian Noise increases in the area, the error performance of pure lateration becomes worse. The main purpose of this study is to obtain the optimum conditions for lateration to provide a solution for real time applications. For future work, the real time implementations of this study are performed and to improve the accuracy performance, it is aimed to use a curve fitting idea to the measured values.
