Abstract
Location finding by using wireless
technology is one of the emerging and important
technologies of wireless sensor networks. GPS can
be utilized for outdoor areas only it cannot be used
for tracking the user inside the building. The main
motivation of this paper is to implement the system
which can locate and track the user inside the
building. Indoor locations include buildings like an
airport, huge malls, supermarkets, universities and
large infrastructures. The significant problem that
this system solves is of tracking the user inside the
building. The accurate indoor location can be found
out by using the Received Signal Strength Indication
(RSSI). The additional hardware is not required for
RSSI, and moreover, it is easy to understand. The
RSS (Received Signal Strength) values are
calculated with the help of WiFi Access points and
the mobile device. The system should provide the
exact location of the user and also track the user.
This paper presents a system that helps in finding
out the exact location and tracking of the mobile
device in the indoor environment. It can also be used
to navigate the user to a required destination using
the navigation function.
