Abstract
Wi-Fi based fingerprinting systems, mostly utilize the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), which is known to be unreliable due to environmental and hardware effects. In this paper, we present a novel Wi-Fi fingerprinting system, exploiting the fine-grained information known as Channel State Information (CSI). The frequency diversity of CSI can be effectively utilized to represent a location in both frequency and spatial domain resulting in more accurate indoor localization. We propose a novel location signature CSI-MIMO that incorporates Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) information and use both the magnitude and the phase of CSI of each sub-carrier. We experimentally evaluate the performance of CSI-MIMO fingerprinting using the k-nearest neighbor and the Bayes algorithm. The accuracy of the proposed CSI-MIMO is compared with Finegrained Indoor Fingerprinting System (FIFS) and a simple CSI-based system. The experimental result shows an accuracy improvement of 57% over FIFS with an accuracy of 0.95 meters.Keywords
