In this paper, we propose a proximity-based adaptive positioning algorithm to address the challenge of positioning errors in indoor localization based on RSSI (received signal strength indicator). When positioning by trilateration, if a receiver is close to one AP, the signals of other APs become rapidly unstable, so positioning accuracy is reduced. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm to identify the proximity state with AP and adaptively determine the positioning technique based on this state. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: RSSI error correction, adaptive location estimation, and post-processing. The RSSI error correction step corrects unstable RSSI. The adaptive location estimation step utilizes a modified proximity technique when identified as close to an AP, employing trilateration otherwise. Finally, in the post-processing step, an efficient filtering algorithm is applied. For the static state experiment, the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is found to be improved by about 28% compared to the method measured using only the trilateration technique applying the RSSI error correction step and post-processing step. The proposed algorithm improved the positioning accuracy of the entire area by improving accuracy in regions with weak signals without additional devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
