Wireless Network Indoor Positioning Method Using Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling and RSSI in the Internet of Things Environment

摘要

Aiming at the problem that the indoor target location algorithm based on received signal strength (RSSI) in the IoT environment is susceptible to interference and large fluctuations, an indoor localization algorithm combining RSSI and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) is proposed (RSSI- NMDS). First, Gaussian filtering is performed on the received plurality of sets of RSSI signals to eliminate abnormal fluctuations of the RSSI. Then, based on the RSSI data, the dissimilarity matrix is constructed, and the relative coordinates of the nodes in the low-dimensional space are obtained by NMDS solution. Finally, according to the actual coordinates of the reference node, the coordinate transformation is performed by the planar four-parameter model, and the position of the node in the actual coordinate system is obtained. The simulation results show that the proposed method has strong anti-RSSI perturbation and high positioning accuracy.
