With the wide deployment of commercial WiFi devices, the fine-grained channel state information (CSI) has received widespread attention with broad application domain including indoor localization and intrusion detection. From the perspective of practicality, dynamic intrusion may be confused under non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions and the continuous operation of passive positioning system will bring much unnecessary computation. In this paper, we propose an enhanced CSI-based indoor positioning system with pre-intrusion detection suitable for NLOS scenarios (C-InP). It mainly consists of two modules: intrusion detection and positioning estimation. The introduction of detection module is a prerequisite for positioning module. In order to improve the discrimination of features under NLOS conditions, we propose a modified calibration method for phase transformation while the amplitude outliers are filtered by the variance distribution with the median sequence. In addition, binary and improved multiple support vector classification (SVC) models are established to realize NLOS intrusion detection and high-discrimination fingerprint localization, respectively. Comprehensive experimental verification is carried out in typical indoor scenarios. Experimental results show that C-InP outperforms the existing system in NLOS environments, where the mean distance error (MDE) reached 0.49 m in the integrated room and 0.81 m in the complex garage, respectively.
Indoor wireless local area network (WLAN) based positioning technologies have boomed recently because of the huge demands of indoor location-based services (ILBS) and the wide deployment of commercial Wi-Fi devices. Channel state information (CSI) extracted from Wi-Fi signals could be calibrated and utilized as a fine-grained positioning feature for indoor fingerprinting localization. One of the main factors that would restrict the positioning accuracy of fingerprinting systems is the spatial resolution of fingerprints (SRF). This paper mainly focuses on the improvement of SRF for indoor CSI-based positioning and a calibrated CSI feature (CCF) with high SRF is established based on the preprocess of both measured amplitude and phase. In addition, a similarity calculation metric for the proposed CCF is designed based on modified dynamic time warping (MDTW). An indoor fingerprinting method based on CCF and MDTW, named CC-DTW, is then proposed to improve the positioning accuracy in indoors. Experiments are conducted in two indoor office testbeds, and the performances of the proposed CC-DTW, one time-reversal (TR) based approach and one Euclidean distance (ED) based approach are evaluated and discussed. The results show that the SRF of CC-DTW outperforms the TR-based one and the ED-based one in both two testbeds in terms of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve metric, and the area under curve (AUC) metric.
