Full-Band GSM Fingerprints for Indoor Localization Using a Machine Learning Approach

Abstract EN

Indoor handset localization in an urban apartment setting is studied using GSM trace mobile measurements.

Nearest-neighbor, Support Vector Machine, Multilayer Perceptron, and Gaussian Process classifiers are compared.

The linear Support Vector Machine provides mean room classification accuracy of almost 98% when all GSM carriers are used.

To our knowledge, ours is the first study to use fingerprints containing all GSM carriers, as well as the first to suggest that GSM can be useful for localization of very high performance.
