Abstract

Many scenarios for indoor positioning require position estimation not only in two dimensions but in the third dimension as well. This paper presents the expansion of two two-dimensional WLAN fingerprinting localization algorithms based on received signal strength indication (RSSI) to the third dimension. The third dimension is regarded discretely as the floor level. Both algorithms were evaluated in two different test beds. Evaluation results will be presented and discussed.
