摘要：Rapid development of smartphone industry, various positioning-enabled sensors such as GPS receivers,accelerometers, gyroscopes, digital compasses, cameras, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have been built in smartphones forcommunication, entertainment and location-based services. Smartphone users can get their locations fixed according tothe function of GPS receiver. This is the primary reason why the huge demand for real-time location information ofmobile users has been unprecedented in recent years. However, the GPS receiver is often not effective in indoorenvironments due to the signal attenuation and multipath effects, although it as the major positioning devices have apowerful accuracy for outdoor positioning. This research investigates other built-in GPS and develops methods forimproving the accuracy of indoor positioning. Combination with the wireless network, it can be a viable alternativesolution for the indoor positioning purposes of the smartphone users. The main advantage of this solution is that it canbe deployed with a minimal cost, as no specialized hardware is necessary for setting up the system. However,challenges remain for this solution due to complex indoor environment involved and extensive calibration dataoverhead.
