And compared with subenvironment factor (A and n) then it represents that selected wireless signal base station is the wireless of visitor's direction
Signal base station, so can determine this visitor towards orientation be towards this object.
It should be noted that because the attenuation effect that causes of human body and hand-held action, RSSI sampled value in time domain,
There is corresponding feature in frequency domain and statistics domain.
In time domain, using envirment factor A and n as Rule of judgment, as shown in Equation 1:
RSSI=- (A+10n log10d) (1)
Wherein, RSSI represents RSSI sampled value;D represents the distance between object (such as showpiece) and visitor;
A and n is the envirment factor in RSSI- distance decay model.
In a frequency domain, the frequency values of noise are Dynamic gene, as shown in Equation 2:
G (f)=FT (f (r)) (2)
Wherein, f (r) represents the time-domain value of RSSI, and g (f) represents the frequency domain value of RSSI, and FT represents that time domain arrives
The mapping mode of frequency domain.For statistics domain, the phase between statistics domain model and perfect Gaussian statistics domain model
Close coefficient as shown in Equation 3:
R(h(S),G(S)) (3)
Wherein, h (s) represents the statistical model of RSSI sampled value, and G (s) represents the statistics of perfect Gaussian function
Domain model;R represents the dependency between h (s) and G (s).
Based on the judgement factor of three types, assess the quality of RSSI sampled value.One of which is achieved in that,
Bigger A and n, represents poorer quality;Higher noise frequency, poorer quality;Lower dependency,
Poorer quality.
Due to the impact of human body and hand-held attenuation effect, poor RSSI sampled value quality representation wireless channel
On have interference.So, the poorer wireless signal base station of RSSI sampled value is typically in the dorsad direction of visitor.Phase
Anti-, the better wireless signal base station of RSSI sampled value is typically in the direction of visitor.Due to wireless signal
Arrangement of base stations, on object (such as showpiece), therefore can determine visitor's based on the quality of RSSI sampled value
Towards orientation.
