Abstract The idea of smart and sustainable cities is incomplete without using information and communication technologies. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) plays a vital role in connecting different services, transferring data and providing indoor localization. WLAN fingerprinting technique has become the most common approach for indoor localization in smart cities. This technique utilizes received signal strength (RSS) and channel status from the installed WLAN Access Points (AP). Currently, WLAN planning relies on the site survey, which is laborious and uneconomical for large areas. The WLAN has a limited number of channels assigned in the frequency reuse strategy. An inefficient channel assignment strategy will lead towards increased interference, thus degrading the overall service. This paper proposes a WLAN channel assignment strategy for large and crowded indoor areas. The proposed scheme assigns the channels to installed APs for indoor localization in fingerprinting framework. The proposed technique ensures that the proposed AP channel assignment algorithm in our network-planning scheme mitigates interference. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
