The invention discloses the technical field of
wireless communication and
wireless network positioning, and in particular relates to an improved positioning method of an indoor
fingerprint based on a clustering neural network. According to the technical scheme, the positioning method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: an offline phase: constructing a
fingerprint database by
fingerprint information collected from a reference point, sorting fingerprints in the
fingerprint database by utilizing a clustering
algorithm, and training the fingerprint and position information of each reference point by utilizing a
artificial neural network model to obtain an optimized
network model; and an online phase: carrying out cluster matching on the collected real-time fingerprint information and a cluster center in the
fingerprint database to determine a primary positioning area, and taking the real-time fingerprint information in the primary positioning area as an input end of the neural
network model of the reference point to acquire final accurate position
estimation. The method has the advantages that low calculation and storage cost for the clustering
artificial neural network fingerprint positioning method can be guaranteed, the positioning accuracy of the clustering
artificial neural network fingerprint positioning method can be improved, and accurate positioning information is provided for users.
