The existence of mobile devices as a location pointing device using Global Positioning System (GPS) is a very common thing nowadays. The use of GPS as a tool to determine the location of course has a shortage when used indoors. Therefore, the used of indoor location-based services in a room that leverages the use of Access Point (AP) is very important. By using the information of the Received Signal Strength (RSS) obtained from AP, then the location of the device can be determined without the need to use GPS. This technique is called the location fingerprint technique using the characteristics of received RSS’s fingerprint, then use it to determine the position. To get a more accurate position then authors used the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method. KNN will use some of the data that obtained from some AP to assist in positioning the device. This solution of course would be able to determine the position of the devices in a storied building.
