Abstract

This paper presents a fingerprint indoor localization system based on Bisecting k-means (BKM). Compared to k-means, BKM is a more robust clustering algorithm. Specifically, BKM based indoor localization consists of two stages: offline stage and online positioning stage. In the offline stage, BKM is used to divide all the reference points (RPs) into k clusters. A series of experiments have been made to show that our system can greatly improve localization accuracy.
