CRISLoc

CRISLoc is the first CSI fingerprinting based localization prototype system using ubiquitous smartphones.

To the best of our knowledge, CRISLoc is the first CSI fingerprinting localization system using off-the-shelf smartphones.

Router and Nexus 5

Extensive experiments show that CRISLoc achieves a mean error of 0.29m in a research laboratory (6m×8m), and a median error of 0.78m in a complex academic building (8m×28m) consisting of a research room, a long orridor and a small square.

CSI is extracted from Nexus 5 by Nexmon, whose amplitudes are more stable over time.

We design a suit of methods to sanitize CSI data, encompassing the cancellation of automatic gain control and the filtering of unstable subcarriers and frames.

abnormal CSI

We design a joint clustering and outlier detection approach to find the altered APs. The core idea of this approach is to perform localization by different subsets of APs.

We develop a novel transfer learning approach to reconstruct their CSI & RSSI fingerprints.
