Wireless indoor localization

Tales of a hacker parked outside a home, and hacking into their network for malice, are legendary. Though these tales may exaggerate the ease and motivation of this scenario, there are many situations where it is best to only permit users inside the home, or, in the case of an enterprise environment, in a designated area, to have specified network privileges. In this recipe, you will utilize machine learning to localize an entity based on the Wi-Fi signal. The dataset we will be working with was collected in an indoor space by observing signal strengths of seven Wi-Fi signals visible on a smartphone. One of the four rooms is the decision factor.
