• Abstract: Wi-Fi fingerprinting has emerged as the most popular approach to indoor localization. The use of ML algorithms has greatly improved the localization performance of Wi-Fi fingerprinting, but its success depends on the availability of fingerprint databases composed of a large number of RSSIs, the MAC addresses of access points, and the other measurement information. However, most fingerprint databases do not reflect well the time varying nature of electromagnetic interferences in complicated modern indoor environment. This could result in significant changes in statistical characteristics of training/validation and testing datasets, which are often constructed at different times, and even the characteristics of the testing datasets could be different from those of the data submitted by users during the operation of localization systems after their deployment. In this paper, we consider the implications of time-varying Wi-Fi fingerprints on indoor localization from a data-centric point of view and discuss the differences between static and dynamic databases. As a case study, we have constructed a dynamic database covering three floors of the IR building of XJTLU based on RSSI measurements, over 44 days, and investigated the differences between static and dynamic databases in terms of statistical characteristics and localization performance. The analyses based on variance calculations and Isolation Forest show the temporal shifts in RSSIs, which result in a noticeable trend of the increase in the localization error of a Gaussian process regression model with the maximum error of 6.65 m after 14 days of training without model adjustments. The results of the case study with the XJTLU dynamic database clearly demonstrate the limitations of static databases and the importance of the creation and adoption of dynamic databases for future indoor localization research and real-world deployment.

  We propose a method for the automated creation of a challenging test set without relying on the manual construction of artificial and unrealistic examples. We categorize the test set of popular NLI datasets into three difficulty levels by leveraging methods that exploit training dynamics. When our characterization method is applied to the training set, models trained with only a fraction of the data achieve comparable performance to those trained on the full dataset.

• On the Domain Generalizability of RF Fingerprints Through Multifractal Dimension Representation [6.05147450902935]
  RF data-driven device fingerprinting through the use of deep learning has recently surfaced as a possible method for enabling secure device identification and authentication. Traditional approaches are commonly susceptible to the domain adaptation problem where a model trained on data collected under one domain performs badly when tested on data collected under a different domain. In this work, we propose using multifractal analysis and the variance fractal dimension trajectory (VFDT) as a data representation input to the deep neural network to extract device fingerprints that are domain generalizable.

  Location fingerprinting based on RSSI becomes a mainstream indoor localization technique due to its advantage of not requiring the installation of new infrastructure. The use of AI/ML technologies like DNNs makes location fingerprinting more accurate and reliable. We investigate three different methods of RSSI data augmentation based on Multi-Output Gaussian Process (MOGP), i.e., by a single floor, by neighboring floors, and by a single building. The feasibility of the MOGP-based RSSI data augmentation is demonstrated through experiments based on the state-of-the-art RNN indoor localization model and the UJI
