摘要： While wireless local area network-based indoor localization is attractive, the problems concerning how to capture the signal-propagating character in the complex dynamic environment and how to accommodate the receiver gain difference of different mobile devices are challenging. In this article, we solve these problems by modeling them as common mode noise and develop a localization algorithm based on a novel differential radio map approach. We propose a differential operation to improve the performance of the radio map module, where the location is estimated according to the difference of received signal strength (RSS) instead of RSS itself. The particle filter algorithm is adopted to realize the target localization and tracking task. Furthermore, to calculate the particle weight at arbitrary locations, we propose a local linearization technique to realize continuous interpolation of the radio map. The indoor experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach.
