Abstract

The accuracy of fingerprint based Bluetooth positioning technology depends on the fingerprint database established in offline phase. However, the change of environment and Access Point (AP) locations has significant impact on wireless signal distribution, resulting a decline in indoor Bluetooth positioning accuracy. In order to solve this problem, this paper presents a fingerprint database updating algorithm. Firstly, RSSI sequence, head, and speed information are extracted from crowdsourcing date. Secondly, the extracted information is used in Pedestrian Dead Reckoning Modification (PDRM) algorithm to get candidate fingerprint. Finally, we propose concepts of standard fingerprint, negative exponential time model, and similarity filtering to update original fingerprint database. The experimental results show that after the proposed fingerprint database updating, fingerprint database positioning accuracy is improved by 0.5 m.
