Abstract :
In this paper we perform a comparative analysis of several localization and tracking methods based on WIFI networks. We describe the signal environment basis of the position observations, and we discuss on training needs, localization computational needs, accuracy, stability, etc. The study is based on simulations of the signal fading effects, and on measurements taken in an experimental deployment
