Abstract
We investigated the particular case of heterogeneous devices used in location based applications. The results suggest applying relative signal strength readings to overcome variations in the wireless characteristics of different devices. An experiment was used to determine an optimum data collection interval. Finally, a full end-to-end reference implementation is constructed. The results show that heterogeneous commodity devices can achieve good localization without a calibration period or expert site surveying.
