Abstract
Ubiquitous wireless indoor localization can be achieved by leveraging the widespread deployment of WiFi systems. Most existing WiFi-based localization solutions are based on received signal strength (RSS) fingerprinting, which requires a database of the RSS values in the application environment to be built and maintained. The latest 802.11ac WiFi standard offers channels with wide bandwidths, which enables accurate timing-based positioning. This paper presents a passive localization system in which multiple sniffers monitor the WiFi traffic and locate the standard WiFi transmitters based on the time-of-arrival measurements. Multiple implementation issues are addressed, including sniffer clock synchronization and hardware delay calibration. The proposed system is evaluated experimentally using a prototype developed by us. It is shown that the positioning accuracy is significantly improved over existing systems.
