A practical path loss model for indoor WiFi positioning enhancement

Atreyi Bose, Chuan Heng Foh

Abstract

Positioning within a local area refers to technology whereby each node is self-aware of its position. Based on empirical study, this paper proposes an enhancement to the path loss model in the indoor environment for improved accuracy in the relationship between distance and received signal strength. We further demonstrate the potential of our model for the WiFi positioning system, where the mean errors in the distance estimation are 2.3 m and 2.9 m for line of sight and non line of sight environments, respectively.
