Recent studies on indoor positioning using Wi-Fi fingerprinting are motivated by the ubiquity of Wi-Fi networks and their promising positioning accuracy. Machine learning algorithms are commonly leveraged in indoor positioning works. The performance of machine learning based solutions are dependent on the availability, volume, quality, and diversity of related data. Several public datasets have been published in order to foster advancements in Wi-Fi based fingerprinting indoor positioning solutions. These datasets, however, lack dual-band Wi-Fi data within symmetric indoor environments. To fill this gap, this research work presents the UTMInDualSymFi dataset, as a source of dual-band Wi-Fi data, acquired within multiple residential buildings with symmetric deployment of access points. UTMInDualSymFi comprises the recorded dual-band raw data, training and test datasets, radio maps and supporting metadata. Additionally, a statistical radio map construction algorithm is presented. Benchmark performance was evaluated by implementing a machine-learning-based positioning algorithm on the dataset. In general, higher accuracy was observed, on the 5 GHz data scenarios. This systematically collected dataset enables the development and validation of future comprehensive solutions, inclusive of novel preprocessing, radio map construction, and positioning algorithms.
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.
