Analysis of the Behavior of an Indoor Position System Based on Fingerprints and IEEE 802.15.4

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of an indoor position system based on fingerprints and IEEE 802.15.4 that has been adapted to be tested in a competition, called EvAAL (Evaluating AAL Systems through Competitive Benchmarking), hold both in Madrid (tests) and Eindhoven (results). The objectives of this analysis are to determine the best algorithm that should have been applied in order to obtain the best results in the competition to use them in other environments. Among the different combinations that can be applied, i.e., the way the signature database is filled in and the algorithm uses to determine the closest location point, the best results are obtained using a global signature database where each signature entry is calculated by the medium of samples signatures database and the closest location is determined by a centroid algorithm with the parameter c set to 1.3. In this way, the error made improves the one obtained in the EvAAL, which is reduced by 100 centimetres.

I. INTRODUCTION

II. PROTOTYPE OVERVIEW
In ou p o o ype (Fig. 1), a building o o he a ea is popula ed wi h a numbe o mo es ac ing as ixed nodes, one o hem
being he coo dina o , C, and a se o mo es as mobile nodes, he ones whose posi ion is going o be de e mined. Each ixed
node sends o C pe iodic beacon messages, beacon 2, which consis o an n- uple o he o ma {MobileID, RSSI}, whe e n is
he numbe o mobile nodes, MobileID is a unique iden i ie o a mobile node, and RSSI is he signal s eng h which each ixed
node ecei ed he las beacon message sen by MobileID node. The beacon message sen by a mobile node is di e en om he
one sen by a ixed node, o di e one om o he s, he mobile node beacon messages a e called beacon 1. No all ixed mo es
ecei e beacon 1 messages, and his depends on he co e age a ea. In his case hey send a beacon 2 wi h a ze o alue in RSSI
co esponding o ha mobile node.
Fig. 1 Sys em O e iew. M1 is a mobile node, F1-F5 a e ixed nodes, and C is he coo dina o , also a ixed node. M1 pe iodically sends a beacon message,
beacon 1, o in o m he o he s node ha is p esen , all ixed node ha ecei es i , sa e he RSSI o ha message in a able. Fixed node pe iodically sends a
message o C, beacon 2, o in o m abou he RSSI ha hey ecei e om mobiles node, M1 in his case.
The loca ion es ima ion p oblem consis s o a wo-phase p ocess: an o line collec ion o e e ence signa u es o se he
signa u e da abase, ollowed by an online loca ion whe e he mobile nodes posi ion a e es ima ed.
A. O line Phase
As in o he signa u e-based sys ems, he e e ence signa u e da abase, R, in he o -line phase, is acqui ed manually by a
use wi h a mobile node and a PC connec ed o C. The e e ence signa u e da abase consis s o a numbe o e e ence
signa u es. Each e e ence signa u e, shown as black do s in Fig. 1, is o med by a se o signa u e uples o he o ma {sou ce
ID, mean RSSI}, whe e sou ce ID is he ixed node ID and mean RSSI is he mean RSSI o a se o beacon messages ecei ed
o e some ime in e al. The mean RSSI is used because i is he way Mo eT ack did, bu i is possible o use ano he c i e ia.
Each signa u e is mapped o a known loca ion by he use acqui ing he signa u e da abase (P1-P5 in Fig. 1).
B. Online Phase
In he online phase, gi en a mobile node’s ecei ed signa u e, s, ecei ed om he ixed nodes, and he e e ence signa u e

C. P o o ype Uses and Tes s
This p o o ype was used in a esea ch p ojec ha ied o make an In elligen Building

All he compe i o s knew he e alua ion c i e ia be o e he es day in Li ing Lab. In ou case, we did no pay a en ion
because we ocused on adap ing ou p o o ype o he Li ing Lab. We did no e en ha e ime le o es co ec ly he adap ed

Ou compe i ion esul s we e no e y good bu hey we e wo se han we expec ed. In ou p e ious and quick es , wi hou

IV. METHODOLOGY
The inge p in algo i hm we use o de e mine he posi ion has many pa ame e s ha can be se depending on he
en i onmen i is going o wo k so he accu acy esul s could be di e en i hey a e no se adequa ely. These pa ame e s a e,
among o he s, he way each signa u e poin is calcula ed, how samples a e ga he ed, how he dis ance be ween wo signa u es
is measu ed, e c. We es ed ou p o o ype in he Li ing Lab in Mad id wi hou s udying deeply he igh combina ion o hem
in ha en i onmen . In his sec ion we explain he me hodology ollowed o ga he he da a in o de o make simula ions o es
which pa ame e s a e he mos app op ia es, o achie e he bes esul s, i.e., o imp o e he esul s ob ained in he E AAL
compe i ion.
The whole me hodology applied is shown in Figu e 6. Fi s we go om he WSN, using he p o o ype so wa e, o each
poin in he signa u es da abase a se o samples, samples da abase, in o de o de e mine la e i s signa u e by using. Each
sample sa ed had he ollowing in o ma ion: yea , mon h, day, hou , minu e, second, x-coo dina e, y-coo dina e, o ien a ion,
whe e o ien a ion can e e o no h, sou h, eas , wes , o global. I o ien a ion is global i means ha he sample was sa ed
while he mobile mo e was u ning a ound. In his way, di e en signa u es da abase can be calcula ed acco ding o di e se
c i e ia.
Fo acking pu pose, some ex a poin s we e aken, in his case, he o ien a ion was no global. A acking applica ion was
also de eloped o de ine di e en acks o es .
Di e en signa u e da abases we e calcula ed wi h he sample da abase poin s using a da a mining ool called Clemen ine.
A simula ion p og am was also de eloped o y how di e en algo i hms beha e using he same da abase and ack. The
ou pu o his p og am o di e en scena ios le us know which one would be he bes combina ion.
V. SIMULATIONS
Se e al es s ha e been made. Fo each one, a speci ic da abase, ack and algo i hm we e ied. The mos signi ican
change among di e en simula ion es s is how he signa u e da abase poin s we e calcula ed. Fi s ly, wo kinds o signa u e
da abase we e possible, one global and he o he di ec ional (no h, wes , sou h, eas ). Secondly, each poin in he signa u e
da abase was se calcula ing he mean, mode, max, min, e c, o all he sample poin s acqui ed p e iously.
As p esen ed in Sec ion II, in he o -line phase he acqui ed signa u e is compa ed wi h he ones sa ed in he signa u e
da abase applying he Manha an dis ance o de e mine he closes signa u e poin s (one o mo e depending on c pa ame e ) in
he signa u e da abase. In he E AAL compe i ion, he Euclidian dis ance was used o measu e he e o made, so we ha e also
ied his dis ance, bo h o compa e a signa u e wi h he signa u es da abase and o measu e he accu acy e o . The ac ual
posi ion is de e mined using he cen oid algo i hm. This algo i hm has he c pa ame e . Depending on i , he esul s we e
di e en . We ied om 1 o 1.7, highe alues had wo se esul s.
As one can image, he amoun o in o ma ion ob ained o be analysed and compa ed was oo much. Fo each signa u e
da abase ob ained you had o simula e he di e se ack o be analysed and c pa ame e s o be es ed, so he e we e hund eds o
combina ions. Manage all hese esul s app op ia ely, we go he nex conclusions.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 shows espec i ely o a pa ame e c=1.3 he esul s ob ained using he same ack wi h a signa u e
da abase global o he signa u e da abase di ec ional. The abo e g aphic in Figs. 7 and 8 ep esen s he ela ionship be ween
he sample dispe sion in pe cen age and he e o made in cen ime es. This shows ha he elec ion o a speci ic da abase
oge he wi h a good coe icien c migh imp o e he esul s. The g aphics below ep esen s he success in AOI. The sco e was
simila o he E AAL compe i ion. 0 ailed, 1 success, and 0.5 ailed bu i was in a suba ea in he AOI. The conclusions a e
he same, changing pa ame e s migh imp o e esul s.
In o de o compa e adequa ely he di e en combina ions and o de e mine he bes , we decided o use he e o made in
he 75 h pe cen ile, i.e., he same c i e ia used in E AAL compe i ion. In Fig. 9 i is shown among all he es s made, he one

which e o was below 365 cen ime es and in Fig. 10, i is shown he success in AOI o he bes esul s.
The bes esul s a e ob ained using a global signa u e da abase, whe e he poin s in i a e calcula ed using he medium o
he squa es o samples da abase wi h c=1.3 and he medium o samples da abase wi h c=1.4. The e o is espec i ely, 360 cm
and 361 cm. Al hough in he i s case, he e o is less, i does no imply a be e esul in he AOI success as shown in Figu e
10. Tha is no w ong because one calcula ed coo dina e could be close o he eal one bu ha coo dina e belongs o ano he
AOI. So i can be concluded ha using a global da abase using he medium o samples wi h c=1.3, he esul s ob ained in he
E AAL compe i ion a e imp o ed in one me e .
Finally, we ealized ha we did no measu e co ec ly he e o made by ou p o o ype and he i s Li ing Lab emula ion
we made when we es ed i be o e he compe i ion day, ha is why ou sco e in accu acy was wo se han we expec ed.
