ABSTRACT
In recent years, a positioning method which utilizes wireless LAN without using GPS has attracted attention. Especially, in the case of a method which combines absolute position with a Wi-Fi radio environment in advance, the cost of operation and management becomes enormous. Therefore, by sampling Wi-Fi radio information observed at points where users stay frequently or in the long-term, a method which automates to collect and update the Wi-Fi radio information has been proposed. In the case of a long-term operating, the positioning accuracy, however, decreases because this method does not perform well in maintaining and managing samples. It cannot adapt samples to environmental changes although Wi-Fi radio signals change in case of long-term operating. Accordingly, this paper proposes a new calculation formula for improving a positioning accuracy. The formula is calculated with the weight of each base station for avoidance of ill-behaving stations. In addition, this paper also proposes the automated management system with two steps. It adapts samples to changes of Wi-Fi radio signals and a user's behavior. As a result, a positioning accuracy of the new system is higher than existing one.

Cross-assistive approach for PDR and Wi-Fi positioning
UbiComp '14 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct PublicationIn indoor positioning using Wi-Fi, there is a problem that the accuracy is not stable by the occurrence of large errors. Large errors tend to occur when density of wireless LAN access points is low or the radio wave condition is unstable. Furthermore, ...
