This paper investigates enhancement of fuzzy logic indoor positioning system (FLIPS) and its effect upon the wireless station deployment. The proposed scheme adopts an average filter to improve stability in transforming received signal strength (RSS) between a sensor and stations into distance. Based on the reliable distance data set, a fuzzy logic inference engine determines precise coordinates of the sensor. In order to evaluate the optimal deployment of wireless stations, this study experiments on three different size test areas within three to eight stations. Those results provide considered analysis to develope a more efficient FLIPS.

Wi-Fi round-trip timing (RTT) was applied to indoor positioning systems based on distance estimation. RTT has a higher reception instability than the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based fingerprint in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments with many obstacles, resulting in large positioning errors due to multipath fading. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose high-precision RTT-based indoor positioning system using an RTT compensation distance network (RCDN) and a region proposal network (RPN). The proposed method consists of a CNN-based RCDN for improving the prediction accuracy and learning rate of the received distances and a recurrent neural network-based RPN for real-time positioning, implemented in an end-to-end manner. The proposed RCDN collects and corrects a stable and reliable distance prediction value from each RTT transmitter by applying a scanning step to increase the reception rate of the TOF-based RTT with unstable reception. In addition, the user location is derived using the fingerprint-based location determination method through the RPN in which division processing is applied to the distances of the RTT corrected in the RCDN using the characteristics of the fast-sampling period.
