Abstract
Indoor location systems using 802.11 standard, based on the comparison of the received and predicted levels of the received signals from the Access Points, are a very interesting research area. The location information is computed by searching the nearest neighbour of the measured signal strength within the radio map. In this chapter, we apply a global optimization algorithm to obtain the Access Points location distribution that yields the best performance of these location systems.
