Modeling accuracy of indoor localization systems

Abstract

In recent years indoor localization systems and localizationbased services gain more attention and become ubiquitous. Despite this, planning, development and deployment of localization systems and services is still an issue, that consumes a lot of effort and time. Situation may improve if efficient and accurate computer tools are available to support above mentioned tasks. This, on the other hand, requires modeling software that can numerically predict behavior of the system, recommend improvements and/or preform some optimization. This paper presents methods and preliminary results in the development of simplified, yet accurate, modeling tool that can support design and deployment of indoor localization system. Approaches presented were evaluated in real-life experiments.
