Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a system, method and computer program for dynamic radio map generation, which may be used for indoor positioning of one or more mobile devices based on received signal strength (RSS) in some examples. In an aspect, a dynamic scheme may be used to learn the RSS radio map from only a small number of fingerprint samples. Compressive sensing may be applied to build the graph structure and calculate the graph weight in some embodiments. Once the RSS radio map is learned, a mobile device may be located and location based services can be provided to the user in some example embodiments. An indoor learning and positioning system on a mobile device may be used to evaluate the performance. Embodiments described herein may not require a large amount of offline calibrations, which may reduce the labor cost of collecting fingerprints significantly while maintaining a satisfactory level of localization accuracy.
