A Novel 3D Indoor Localization Scheme Using Virtual Access Point
The global positioning system (GPS) is a popular choice for accurate location sensing and is often used in navigation systems. However, GPS fails to operate inside buildings because satellite signals are blocked. Thus, GPS cannot be used for localization indoors. Moreover, it is difficult to disting...

| description | The global positioning system (GPS) is a popular choice for accurate location sensing and is often used in navigation systems. However, GPS fails to operate inside buildings because satellite signals are blocked. Thus, GPS cannot be used for localization indoors. Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish between the different floors. Research to overcome this problem using the ultrawideband (UWB), radio frequency identification (RFID), and infrared ray (IR) has been conducted. These methods, however, have drawbacks, such as the need for an additional communication module and database. Wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) is widely installed at various locations, and using these WLAN APs can be a viable alternative. The proposed system in this paper indicates the location information in the service set identifier (SSID) of virtual AP. Therefore, merely by scanning the WLAN signals, mobile users can detect their location indoors. |
