Abstract

802.11-based positioning systems are a hot topic in research. However, no standardized set of tools has been established to facilitate the research process. In this paper, we contribute our research tools to the community. The benefit for the community is considerable: (1) Standardized tools reduce the amount of work each researcher has to spend to build software to collect signal strength samples and process this data. (2) The confidence in the correctness of the tools increases because everybody is encouraged to submit bug-fixes. (3) A unified evaluation process makes results mutually comparable. (4) We hope other researchers contribute to our tools.
