Abstract

With the rapid development of human society, the scope and complexity of urban living space are increasing, and the demand for space position information is constantly improved by human activities. Especially in recent years, with the advent of the mobile Internet and the rapid popularization of smart phone terminals, the lifestyle and behavior habits of people are undergoing a huge change. Therefore, the positioning technology is also increasingly received by people. Among them, Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning is the most popular way. In this paper, we proposed Wi-Fi Attention Networks (WAN) for Wi-Fi fingerprint indoor positioning. In the WAN, a bidirectional LSTM is used to get a representation vector of Wi-Fi by summarizing the contextual information. Then, an attention mechanism is used to extract the Wi-Fi words which are important to the representation of Wi-Fi sequences and get a high-level representation vector. Finally, a fully connected network is used for classification. Experimental results demonstrate that WAN performs better than traditional machine learning methods on the publicly available dataset.
