Abstract: The field of navigation has been relentlessly evolving to fulfil its long-standing objective of building a highly accurate universal navigation system. However, in highly urban and indoor locations, line-of-sight signals cannot be guaranteed, and conventional terrestrial-based and satellite-based techniques cannot perform optimally. This paper strives to establish navigation via signals of opportunity (NAVSOP) by proposing a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)-based indoor localization method using Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) technique. This proposed method employs fingerprinting along with the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and again KNN with Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) approach to offer superior position estimation accuracy. In this paper, we develop a new neighbourhood dataset by expanding target neighbourhood locations by random point generator algorithm, thereby propounding the utility of NAVSOP for indoor environments to enable future navigation applications in real-world civilian and military domains. The results obtained via the novel IDW approach give a reduced uncertainty in position error estimation of 0.68 m as compared to the traditional approaches of fingerprinting with KNN (1.13 m) and trilateration (2.3 m).
