Abstract

Indoor positioning system based on WiFi Round-Trip Time (RTT) measurement is believed to deliver sub-metre level accuracy with trilateration, under ideal indoor conditions. However, the performance of WiFi RTT positioning in complex, non-line-of-sight environments re-mains a research challenge.

To this end, this paper investigates the properties of WiFi RTT in several real-world indoor environments on heterogeneous smartphones. We present a large-scale real-world dataset containing both RTT and received signal strength (RSS) signal measures with correct ground-truth labels.

Our results indicated that RTT fingerprinting system delivered an accuracy below 0.75 m which was 98% better than RSS fingerprinting and 166% better than RTT trilateration, which failed to deliver sub-metre accuracy as claimed.
