Localization in IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks by fingerprinting

The localization of mobile nodes in wireless communication networks is a common problem with numerous solutions in the literature.

In this project, an algorithm based on the idea of ​​"fingerprinting" was implemented on a mobile platform. In the case of fingerprinting, numerous measured values ​​are first determined in an offline phase and stored in a suitable format. In the online phase, localization can then be made by comparing current measured values ​​and the previously generated data record by means of a similarity measure.
