Abstract

Location based service (LBS) cannot be realized unless the location of the user is available. For indoor LBS, indoor positioning must be utilized and many researchers have been working on indoor positioning and tracking. For example, extended Kalman filter (EKF) was exploited in Bluetooth based indoor positioning. Nowadays, WLAN (wireless local area network) is available virtually everywhere. Thus, WLAN based indoor positioning and tracking is more economical than Bluetooth based ones. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a new WLAN based EKF indoor tracking method by extending existing Bluetooth based EKF positioning method. Experimental results comparing our method with other previous methods are discussed.
