Particle filter approach for tracking indoor user location using IEEE 802.11 signals

To increase the accuracy of Location-aware personal computing application, multi-observers of IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) signals can be used to track indoor user location. Even-though Wi-Fi is more and more widely available on most mobile devices, unfortunately, because of the reflection, refraction, tempe...
