A three layer feed-forward ANN model offers the benefits of reducing time cost of the layout of an indoor location system, saving storage cost of the radio map establishment and enhancing real-time capacity in the on-line phase. According to the analysis of SNR distributions of recorded beacon signal samples and discussion about the multi-mode phenomenon, the one map method is proposed for the purpose of simplifying ANN input values and increasing location performances. Based on the simulations and comparison analysis with other two typical indoor location methods, K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and probability, the feasibility and effectiveness of ANN-based indoor location method are verified with average location error of 2.37m and location accuracy of 78.6% in 3m.展开更多
