Abstract
Signal strength based positioning technology offers both cost advantages and technical challenges compared with other positioning methods. This study analyzes measurements taken in a commercial retail environment to develop a set of practical expectations and guidelines in the use of signal strength based positioning systems. A commercially available positioning engine for wireless LANs was used as a readily reproducible basis for the experiments.
