Abstract
The outage and degradation of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals caused by the multipath phenomena reduce the location accuracy of these systems in urban environment. Hence, integrating an additional localisation technology with the GNSS, so that each technology complements the weakness of the other one, is an efficient solution to improve this accuracy. The widespread availability of the Wi‐Fi technology makes it the most appropriate additional technology. In this work, a fusion algorithm based on a Kalman filter is used to integrate the GPS localisation with Wi‐Fi fingerprinting localisation in urban environment. The fusion algorithm uses the positions delivered by these two systems to achieve an accurate estimation of the mobile position. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed fusion method is more accurate than those of the individual methods and other fusion methods from the literature.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
