摘要:

基于精细时间测量协议(FTM)的Wi-Fi RTT定位是目前领域内的研究热点,但其定位算法性能的评估手段较为单一且缺乏理论基础,Wi-Fi接入点(AP)布局对于定位精度的影响也尚未深入研究。本文以智能手机Wi-Fi FTM为研究对象,推导了基于Wi-Fi RTT/RSS混合定位方法的克拉美罗下界(CRLB),阐明了单一定位与混合定位方法CRLB的理论关系,为算法性能评估确立了理论依据;研究了Wi-Fi AP布局对RTT/RSS混合定位精度的影响,以增强遗传算法(EGA)和CRLB为基础,设计了Wi-Fi RTT/RSS混合定位的最优节点布局方案。研究表明,Wi-Fi RSS/RTT混合定位可作为高效的FTM定位方法,提出的基于EGA和CRLB的最优节点布局方法能快速给出定位区域内的最优AP布局方案。试验结果表明,在最优节点布局下(7个Wi-Fi节点),Wi-Fi RSS、RTT和RSS/RTT混合定位在本文试验环境的理论精度分别为0.92、1.07和0.61 m。研究结果可为Wi-Fi FTM定位算法性能评估提供理论支持,也能为合理布设Wi-Fi节点、减少定位成本投入提供可行方案。

Abstract:

The fine time measurement (FTM) protocol-based Wi-Fi RTT positioning is currently a research spotlight in the community. However, the performance evaluation methods of localization algorithms are relatively simplistic and lack theoretical basis. Furthermore, the impact of Wi-Fi access points (AP) layout on positioning accuracy has not been thoroughly studied. This paper focuses on smartphone-based Wi-Fi FTM as the research object. It derives the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the Wi-Fi RTT/RSS hybrid positioning method and clarifies the theoretical CRLB relationships of the single and hybrid positioning methods, which establishes a theoretical foundation for algorithm performance evaluation. The influence of Wi-Fi AP deployments on the localization accuracy of the RTT/RSS fusion positioning is studied, and an optimal access point layout approach for Wi-Fi RTT/RSS hybrid positioning is designed based on the enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA) and CRLB. Research shows that Wi-Fi RSS/RTT fusion localization is also an efficient FTM positioning method. The proposed EGA and CRLB-based optimal layout approach for Wi-Fi APs can quickly produce the optimal access point deployment strategy for the positioning area. The experimental results reveal that under the optimal layout of 7 Wi-Fi APs, the theoretical accuracy of Wi-Fi RSS, RTT, and RSS/RTT fusion positioning in the testing site of this manuscript is 0.92, 1.07 and 0.61 m, respectively. The research work provides theoretical support for evaluating the performance of Wi-Fi FTM positioning and offers practical strategies for deploying Wi-Fi APs effectively, thereby reducing positioning investment.
