Existing fingerprint-based indoor localization uses either fine-grained channel state information (CSI) from the physical layer or coarse-grained received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements. In this paper, we propose to use a mid-grained intermediate-level channel measurement-spatial beam signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) that are inherently available and defined in the IEEE 802.11ad/ay standardsto construct the fingerprinting database. These intermediate channel measurements are further utilized by a deep learning approach for multiple purposes: 1) location-only classification; 2) simultaneous locationand-orientation classification; and 3) direct coordinate estimation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the framework is thoroughly validated by an in-house experimental platform consisting of 3 access points using commercial-off-the-shelf millimeter-wave WiFi routers. The results show a 100% accuracy if the location is only interested, about 99% for simultaneous location-and-orientations classification, and an averaged root mean-square error (RMSE) of 11.1 cm and an average median error of 9.5 cm for direct coordinate estimate, greater than 2-fold improvements over the RMSE of 28.7 cm and median error of 23.6 cm for RSSI-like single SNR-based localization.
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.
