Growing popularity of location-dependent mobile applications is continuously stimulating a demand for localization technology. However, in spite of significant research effort in the past decade, precise positioning in indoor environments is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a novel type of indoor localization system that provides mobile phone users in a pedestrian crowd with theirownposition information of sub-meter accuracy by effectively utilizing a powerful pedestrian tracking capability of laser range scanners (i.e., laser-based distance measurement sensors). Although the laser-based tracking system can precisely detect presence of pedestrians at each location in its sensing region, the location information is not associated with any mobile phone users and thus it basically cannot provide the users’ own locations. To remove this limitation, we focus on spatio-temporal proximity patterns between mobile phones, which can be detected by peer-to-peer short-range wireless communication (e.g., Bluetooth). By examining consistency between the communication logs and proximity betweenanonymoustrajectories detected by laser-based tracking, our system identifies a trajectory that corresponds to each mobile phone user to offer their own position information. Through extensive simulations and field experiments, we show that our system can achieve trajectory identification accuracy of up to 91 %.
