Indoor localization techniques that use wireless local area network beacon signals have recently gained considerable attention among research communities. System accuracy is one of the most important issues in indoor localization technology. We propose a Bayesian graphical model based on fingerprinting location algorithm in this study. The proposed Bayesian model was simulated using OpenBUGS, a graphical user interface. We conducted an experiment to collect a sample of reference points in a testbed with a dimension of 51 × 22 m 2 . Results show that the proposed model has improved the accuracy by 25.65% using 15 reference points compared with Madigan model.
