Abstract(in English) In positioning systems, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is actively used to measure between user’s device and known anchors distances. The accuracy of the RSSI measurement depends on the number of quantization levels of the A/D converter. This quantization error directly affects the estimation accuracy in the distance measurements. In this research, we apply the Dither method which takes account of interference signals from surrounding wireless terminals to reduce the distance estimation error caused by the quantization at A/D converter. It is possible to derive the distribution characteristics of the received signal by the interference signals. We apply Kernel density estimation to generate the distribution and Kullback-Leibler Divergence to evaluate the distribution characteristics. As a result, it is confirmed through computer simulation that our proposal can reduce the distance estimation error by A/D converter and the accuracy of the distance estimation by RSSI is improved.
