Abstract

Research on indoor positioning technology has been carried out using various methods including WiFi, BLE, and terrestrial magnetism. The present proposes a system providing location information by collecting WiFi data (RSSI, BSSID). The proposed system applies an ensemble learning method of RandomForest to compare differentiation performance. RSSI and BSSID were used as differentiation performance variables, and the proposed indoor space was divided into grid shapes for the experiment. The algorithm presented in the experiment proves improved speed and accuracy compared to a RandomForest method that uses RSSI alone. The present study is expected to be utilized in the fields of indoor navigation and emergency rescue.
