Hybrid Localization and Navigation System for Dynamic Target Employing RSSI and A* Algorithm

Abstract

Indoor localization in recent years has gain a place of interest significantly in various application, whether it’s in IOT or mobile applications to enhance user’s experience, from navigation inside a mall to improving healthcare facilities by providing them an accurate location. In this proposed work we will be developing an innovative approach for Indoor localization system using of already existed hardware with bit of modification and integrating the following Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), A* algorithm and trilateration method. The objective is to develop an accurate and robust system for indoor localization in real-time. One thing kept in mind while developing this approach is to use already existing hardware and software and to keep the cost of applying this approach minimal. In the modern era of technology and with the availability and ease of access to internet and mobile devices, one of the issues is yet to be solved. Indoor navigation is one of the Millennium Problem among computer science and IOT enthusiastic, although Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is already existed but as it is satellite-based radio navigation system which led to low accuracy for indoor localization and navigation.
