A novel indoor localization scheme based on fingerprinting technique And CDMA signals

International audience—In this paper, we propose a novel acoustic local-ization system based on fingerprinting technique. It deploys the Time Of Arrival of CDMA signals emitted by speakers to locate a microphone. The system is inspired from our earlier proposed scheme [1] which deploys the lateration method. Here, we adopt the fingerprinting technique since it is more applicable to indoor environments. The position estimation is accomplished through nonparametric kernel regression. Performance are evaluated by experiments, performed in a hall of interns in National School of Engineers of Le Mans. Results have shown that our proposed scheme provides an accuracy of 8.5 cm within 80% precision
