Abstract [eng] Currently, there is increasing interest in the possibility of obtaining information about the location of an object. The range of services will expand significantly if user's location information can be provided. The location-based services refer to applications that depend on the user's location to provide services in various categories, including navigation and tracking. Unfortunately, the GPS technology does not specify a location close to walls, buildings, trees, buildings and subways, as the power of the GPS satellite's signal is weak, making it unusable for indoor GPS localization. It is popular to use Wi-Fi hotspots for detecting location in the room. However, given the fact that the walls are an obstacle that affects the signal Wi-Fi access points that data mechanism is not effective. In this case, the quantity and location of Wi-Fi access points are very important when using wireless technology, moreover such a solution is costly.
