AbstractThis paper deals with a new indoor localization scheme called "CEPHEID" by using ceiling lighting fixtures. It is based on the fact that each lighting fixture has its own characteristic flickering pattern. Then, the author proposes a technique to identify individual light by using simple instruments and DNN classifier. Thanks to the less requirements for hardware, CEPHEID can be implemented by a few simple discrete electronic components and an ordinary smartphone. A prototype "CEPHEID dongle" is also introduced in this paper. Finally, the validity of the author's method is examined by indoor positioning experiments.
