Indoor Localization with GravNetConv and Dynamic Graphs

Traditional indoor localization methods often rely on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements from Wi-Fi access points (APs) and utilize techniques like fingerprinting. However, these methods face challenges due to signal variability and environmental factors, leading to limited accuracy. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with a dynamic graph generation process using GravNetConv. This method processes input data in a learned lower-dimensional space, using a Gaussian function to emphasize proximate points, thereby capturing complex spatial relationships and improving localization accuracy through more effective local neighbor capture and fine-grained detail recognition. Our experiments show that the GravNetConv-based method outperforms conventional indoor localization approaches, particularly on larger, more diverse datasets, leading to more reliable and precise positioning in dynamic environments.

Abstract

Traditional indoor localization methods often rely on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements from Wi-Fi access points (APs) and utilize techniques like fingerprinting. However, these methods face challenges due to signal variability and environmental factors, leading to limited accuracy. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with a dynamic graph generation process using GravNetConv. This method processes input data in a learned lower-dimensional space, using a Gaussian function to emphasize proximate points, thereby capturing complex spatial relationships and improving localization accuracy through more effective local neighbor capture and fine-grained detail recognition. Our experiments show that the GravNetConv-based method outperforms conventional indoor localization approaches, particularly on larger, more diverse datasets, leading to more reliable and precise positioning in dynamic environments.
