Abstract-In this paper, we present LEASE, a new system and framework for Location Estimation Assisted by Stationary Emitters for indoor RF wireless networks. Unlike previous studies, we emphasize the deployment aspect of location estimation engines. Motivated thus, we present an adaptable infrastructure-based system that uses a small number of stationary emitters (SEs) and sniffers employed in a novel way to locate standard wireless clients in an enterprise. We present the components of the system and its architecture, and new nonparametric techniques for location estimation that work with a small number of SEs. Our techniques for location estimation can also be used in a client-based deployment. We present experimental results of using our techniques at two sites demonstrating the ability to perform location estimation with good accuracy in our new adaptable framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
