Tagless indoor positioning and object tracking using a wireless sensor network

Abstract

This project seeks to implement a passive indoor positioning and tracking platform using Wi-Fi signals. It is well known that RF wave can be blocked by an object which results in signal attenuation [1 - 2]. The principle of this proposal is based on this phenomenon when the line-of-sight (LOS) link is blocked by an object. Hence, when a grid of such LOS links is tresspassed, it can be detected and tracked within the region.
