Abstract:

IEEE 802.11b wireless Ethernet is becoming the standard
for indoor wireless communication. This paper proposes the use of
measured signal strength of Ethernet packets as a sensor for a
localization system. We demonstrate that off-the-shelf hardware can
accurately be used for location sensing and real-time tracking by
applying a Bayesian localization framework.
