Abstract
In this paper we present the effect of the hand-grip and the presence of the human body on received signal strength measurements when performing positioning of mass market devices in indoor environments. We demonstrate that the mitigation of both human body and hand-grip influence can enhance the positioning accuracy and that the human factor cannot be neglected in experimental activities with real mobile devices.
