Hyperbolic Spatial Covariance Modeling with Adaptive Signal Filtering for Robust Wi-Fi Indoor Positioning.

Robust indoor positioning, crucial to modern location-based services, increasingly leverages Channel State Information (CSI) for its superior multipath resolution over the traditional RSSI. However, current CSI-based methods are hampered by three key limitations: susceptibility to skewed, non-Gaussian noise; informational redundancy from multi-AP configurations; and spatial discontinuities arising from Euclidean-based modeling. To address these challenges, we propose a unified framework that synergistically combines three innovations: (1) an adaptive filtering pipeline that uses wavelet decomposition and dynamic Kalman updates to suppress skewed noise; (2) a graph attention network that optimizes AP selection by modeling spatiotemporal correlations; and (3) a hyperbolic covariance model that captures the intrinsic non-Euclidean geometry of signal propagation. Evaluations on experimental data demonstrate that our framework achieves superior positioning accuracy and environmental robustness over state-of-the-art methods. Crucially, the hyperbolic representation enhances resilience to obstructions by preserving the signal manifold's true structure, thereby advancing the practical deployment of fingerprinting systems.
