Indoor localization is getting increasing demands for various cutting-edged
technologies, like Virtual/Augmented reality and smart home. Traditional
model-based localization suffers from significant computational overhead, so
fingerprint localization is getting increasing attention, which needs lower
computation cost after the fingerprint database is built. However, the accuracy
of indoor localization is limited by the complicated indoor environment which
brings the multipath signal refraction. In this paper, we provided a scheme to
improve the accuracy of indoor fingerprint localization from the frequency
domain by predicting the channel state information (CSI) values from another
transmitting channel and spliced the multi-band information together to get
more precise localization results. We tested our proposed scheme on COST 2100
simulation data and real time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
WiFi data collected from an office scenario.
