Abstract:
Aiming at the influence of the similarity of Wi-Fi signal strength on indoor positioning, this paper proposes an improved indoor positioning algorithm based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and random forest. The algorithm uses Wi-Fi as a signal source to construct a Wi-Fi fingerprint library by receiving signal strength indication and basic service set identifiers, thereby establishing a random forest model for indoor location sensing. The simulation results show that the positioning error of the algorithm is about 2.26m. Compared with similar algorithms, it has better performance in execution time and positioning accuracy, and the accuracy of the algorithm is improved by about 3.2%.
