The positioning accuracy and robustness of WiFi fingerprinting-based positioning are limited due to the unexpected variation of WiFi measurements between floors. On this basis, we propose a novel smartphone-based integrated WiFi\/MEMS positioning algorithm based on the robust extended Kalman filter (EKF). The proposed algorithm first relies on the gait detection approach and quaternion algorithm to estimate the velocity and heading angles of the target. Second, the velocity and heading angles, together with the results of WiFi fingerprinting-based positioning, are considered as the input of the robust EKF for the sake of conducting two-dimensional (2D) positioning. Third, the proposed algorithm calculates the height of the target by using the real-time recorded barometer and geographic data. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the positioning accuracy with root mean square errors (RMSEs) less than 1 m in an actual multi-floor environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi6030347","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,3]],"date-time":"2015-03-03T15:10:05Z","timestamp":1425395405000},"page":"347-363","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Smartphone-Based Indoor Integrated WiFi\/MEMS Positioning Algorithm in a Multi-Floor Environment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Zengshan","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Key Lab of Mobile Communications Technology, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Key Lab of Mobile Communications Technology, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Mu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Key Lab of Mobile Communications Technology, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Lingxia","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Key Lab of Mobile Communications Technology, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Subhan, F., Hasbullah, H., Rozyyev, A., and Bakhsh, S.
