Abstract

Due to vast applications of mobile devices and local area wireless networks, location based services are popularized and location information use has become important . The paper proposes a method based on Semisupervised Locally Linear Embedding for localization in indoor wireless networks. Previous methods for location estimation in indoor wireless networks require a large amount of labeled data for learning the radio map. However labeled instances are often difficult, expensive, or time consuming to obtain, as they require great efforts, meanwhile unlabeled data may be relatively easy to collect. So the use of semi-supervised learning is more feasible. In the experiment 101 access points (APs) have been deployed so the Received Signal Strength (RSS) vector received by the mobile station has large dimensions (i.e.101). First we have used Locally Linear Embedding, a dimensional reduction technique to reduce the dimensions of data, and then we have used semi-supervised learning algorithm to learn the radio map. The algorithm performs nonlinear mapping between the received signal strengths from nearby access points and the user’s location. It is shown that the proposed scheme is easy in training and implementation. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed SSLLE algorithm.
