Abstract

We consider fingerprinting-based localization in highly cluttered Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) multipath environments, typical of indoor scenarios. Channel covariances of multiple Base Stations (BSs) are utilized as Channel State Information (CSI) fingerprints, capturing large-scale features such as power and angle information of multipath components. Several algorithms are analysed, including Weighted K-Nearest Neighbour (WKNN) regression, parametric regression models, and a novel neighbourhood geometric localization method. For WKNN regression, no weighting function can achieve accurate localization for points outside the convex hull of their feature neighbours. In this regard, we propose a neighbour selection method to expand the convex hull. WKNN localization is further enhanced using optimized weighting functions based on Laguerre polynomials and Neural Networks (NNs). Parametric regression models based on kernel methods and NNs are investigated. Furthermore, a feature distance-based neighbourhood geometric framework is developed for NLoS localization, which is extended from conventional geometric positioning models applied in line-of-sight environments. Simulation results show that enhanced WKNN localization with optimum weighting functions and neighbour selection outperforms parametric regression methods. The neighbourhood geometric localization method has comparable localization performance to enhanced WKNN.
