The invention discloses an indoor passive target positioning method based on received
signal strength, and belongs to the technical field of target detection and tracking in a
wireless network. Considering the situation that a link is blocked by a target, the method is mainly applied to detection of links with a
shadow fading phenomenon before positioning. The method comprises the steps of node arrangement, measurement of change values of the received
signal strength of all the links when a monitored area is free of targets and a target enters the monitored area,
time domain detection for excluding some
mutant links without the
shadow fading phenomenon, space domain detection for excluding the links with the
shadow fading phenomenon far away from the actual position of the target, and
estimation of the position of the target according to the links with the shadow
fading phenomenon. The indoor passive target positioning method based on received
signal strength is easy and flexible to implement; moreover, in combination with a
time domain and space domain detection method, the influence of the links without the shadow
fading phenomenon is effectively eliminated, the attenuation effect brought by the target is highlighted more accurately, so that indoor target positioning is more accurate, and better dynamic tracking is realized.
