A Framework for CSI-Based Indoor Localization with 1D Convolutional Neural Networks
share
Modern indoor localization techniques are essential to overcome the weak GPS coverage in indoor environments. Recently, considerable progress has been made in Channel State Information (CSI) based indoor localization with signal fingerprints. However, CSI signal patterns can be complicated in the large and highly dynamic indoor spaces with complex interiors, thus a solution for solving this issue is urgently needed to expand the applications of CSI to a broader indoor space. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end solution including data collection, pattern clustering, denoising, calibration and a lightweight one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model with CSI fingerprinting to tackle this problem. We have also created and plan to open source a CSI dataset with a large amount of data collected across complex indoor environments at Colorado State University. Experiments indicate that our approach achieves up to 68.5 minimal number of parameters, compared to the best-known deep machine learning and CSI-based indoor localization works.
