High Accuracy Real-Time User Location Tracking System Using Enhanced RSSI in Indoor and Outdoor Environments

This paper presents a novel user location tracking system that operates effectively in both indoor and outdoor environments utilizing a single wireless device. The system employs a radiolocation device (CC2431) leveraging RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) for accurate distance measurements. It utilizes a deterministic and probabilistic approach to enhance location estimation accuracy while minimizing errors caused by environmental changes. Experimental results validate its effectiveness, and future work aims to refine the algorithm further and explore more complex scenarios.

  2. Outline • 1. Introduction • 2. System Design • 3. Experiment Setup and Results • 4. Conclusions and Future Works

  3. Introduction • Track a user position in both indoor and outdoor environments by using a single wireless device with minimal tracking error • By incorporating a radiolocation device (CC2431, Chipcon, Norway) which uses Zigbee • The device possesses a location estimation capability via RSSI • Computes distances based on the transmitted and RSS between blind node and reference nodes

  4. System Design • Blind node broadcasts request to the reference nodes • Reference nodes reply by sending their coordinates and RSSI values

  5. Original CC2431 Location Estimation Algo.

  6. Proposed Location Estimation Algo.

  7. Deterministic Phase • Calibrating RSSI values for each reference node • The feature of non-isotropic path loss due to the various transmission medium and direction in different environments • RSSI = －(10n log10d + A) (1) • n： signal propagation constant • d： distance from sender • A：received signal strength at 1 meter distance

  8. Relation Curve • A=40, n=3

  9. Deterministic Phase (cont.) • If only a single n (propagation constant) is used for all reference nodes, miscalculation of the distance occurs • Propagation constant is calculated by reversing the linear RSSI equation as shown in (1)

  10. Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation • Main challenge in RSSI-based location tracking is its high sensitivity to the environmental changes • The mobile target does not move and yet, signal strength varies over time • Smoothing algo. is proposed to minimize the dynamic fluctuation of radio signal received

  11. Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation(cont.) • There is a correlation between current positions with previous location • The basic assumption for this smoothing algorithm is that the constant velocity motion

  12. Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation(cont.) • Estimation Stages • Prediction Stages • Converted to distances • RSSI = －(10n log10d + A) (1) pred – predicted Smoothed Range est – estimation prev – measured Range rate

  13. C P A B Probabilistic Phase – Position Estimation

  14. Probabilistic Phase – Position Estimation(cont.)

  15. Experiment Setup

  16. Experiment Results Time (sec) Time (sec)

  17. Comparison of Distances Between Filtered RSSI and Unfiltered data

  18. Comparison of Location Coordinates (X, Y) Computed by Iterative Trilateration Algo. & CC2431

  19. Conclusions & Future Works • Smoothing algorithm is not proposed in other systems • Apply the smoothing algorithm on distances instead of RSSI • More complicated experiment will be designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
