Abstract
Indoor localisation could benefit greatly from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) identification and mitigation, since the major challenge for WiFi indoor ranging-based localisation technologies is multipath and NLOS. NLOS identification and mitigation on commodity WiFi devices, however, are challenges due to limited bandwidth and coarse multipath resolution with mere MAC layer received signal strength index. In this study, the authors explore and exploit the finer-grained PHY layer channel state information (CSI) to identify and mitigate NLOS. Key to the authors' approach is exploiting several statistical features of CSI, which are proved to be particularly effective. The approaches, NLOS identification support vector machine (NISVM) and related channel information regression model (RCIRM), based on machine learning are proposed to identify NLOS and mitigate NLOS error, respectively. Experiment results in various indoor scenarios with severe interferences demonstrated an overall NLOS identification rate of 94.12% with a false alarm rate of 5.88% and a better mitigation performance.
