Abstract

In the paper the use of radio map modeling approach for a fingerprinting based indoor positioning will be discussed. The paper will describe different propagation models used for a radio map simulation together with the theory of deterministic localization algorithms. In the paper deterministic algorithms from Nearest Neighbor family will be used together with previously proposed rank based fingerprinting algorithm. Impact of used propagation model for radio map simulation on the performance of fingerprinting algorithms will be investigated. The radio map was simulated on the model of Department of Telecommunications and Multimedia at University of Zilina using Radioplan RPS software. Afterwards real world positioning was performed using described algorithms to evaluate impact of radio map simulation on these algorithms.
