Abstract

A comparison is carried out between two indoor localization algorithms using received signal strength, namely the vector algorithm and the Comparative Received Signal Strength (CRSS) algorithm. The comparison considered the effects of the radio map resolution, the number of access points, and the operating frequency on the accuracy of the results. The experiments were carried out using ray tracing software and MATLAB. Results justify a preference for use of the CRSS algorithm.
