Abstract

This paper presents a 802.11-based positioning system developed and demonstrated in the Taipei Children's Museum of Transportation and Communication. Our positioning system partitions the service area into several regions and signal strength information which contains a sequence of access point IDs with the average power strength measured in the region will be collect. Our positioning system locates mobile users via collecting power strengths of the mobile users and then applies our algorithm to determine the regions in which the mobile users stay. A location database is applied to maintain the signal strength information. The experimental results validate that the location information provided by our positioning system assures high correctness of region classification.
