To develop this project, we will start with establishing our objectives. Throughout this chapter, we will write an API that will allow us to calculate a person's indoor position in a floorplan through the Wi-Fi signal intensity measurements concerning three known access points' positions.
Let's look at some theoretical concepts to understand how we are going to implement our program.
As we know, any device that can connect to a Wi-Fi network can identify which is the best signal to use through the Received Signal Indicator (RSSI) signal strength indicator. As we can see in the following table, a higher value for RSSI implies a better signal:
Figure 7.1 – RSSI equivalences
However, in addition to allowing us to estimate the signal quality that we have, we will find that there is a direct relationship between the decrease in signal intensity and the increase in distance measured from the signal emitter. To understand...
