In large indoor commercial spaces constructed recently, services are improved if indoor locations of visitors and employees can be detected. The indoor positioning using ZigBee network based on preobservation of RSSI at positioning areas we propose presents experiments on positioning a mobile ZigBee node on a laboratory floor, including multipath effect. Using our proposal, we determine mobile node location within an accuracy of 3.0 m.

In this paper, a high-accuracy indoor positioning system based on the ultra-wideband (UWB) technique is proposed. The proposed system uses a simple ranging process to obtain the distance between the mobile node and the fixed base stations. Besides, an improved time of arrival (ToA) algorithm with Kalman filtering is proposed to improve the positioning accuracy. Measurements have been performed in the real indoor 13m*7.6m environment with many obstacles and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) is less than 0.3m. The proposed system offers a wide range of application in robotics, industrial automation, post-sorting system and so on.

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.
