Abstract
In this paper we compare the indoor positioning techniques of RToF in nanoLOC and RSSI fingerprinting in WiFi networks experimentally and highlight the impact of orientation during primary measurement acquisition for increasing location accuracy in the case of NLOS and multipath signal propagation conditions. Resulting accuracy estimates confirm known results and reveal that radiomap construction with primary RSSI measurements in four angular directions can improve positioning accuracy by 0.5 m in comparison with traditional fingerprinting in deployed WiFi and location dedicated nanoLOC networks.
