\section{Conclusion and Future Work}
\todo{ueberleitung?}
As denoted within the previous evaluations and discussions, the accuracy of
indoor localization systems based on \docWIFI{} depends on a manifold
of parameters and even minor adjustments can yield huge improvements.
Depending on required accuracy and acceptable setup- and maintenance times,
several approaches are conceivable:
If the use-case does not require utmost accuracy and the locations of permanently
installed transmitters is already well known, just using empiric model parameters
is a viable choice for many situations.
However, when combined with (particle) filtering, a heavily constrained
movement model might be a potential issue, as it might get stuck when
sensor observations or model predictions are too erroneous.
Using a small number of reference measurements will already suffice
to improve such errors. Furthermore it also removes the need for prior knowledge
like transmitter locations, as those parameters can be estimated via optimization.
For the best accuracy, more complex signal strength propagation models
are required which, in turn, demand for more reference measurements.

However, while using a several instances of a simple propagation model
for different regions within a building is able to decrease the estimation
error, this approach might require prior guessing of where to place those regions
and is still unable to approximate all signal strength variations within the building.
More complex models that include information about walls and other obstacles should
be able to improve the situation at the cost of additional computation.
Special data-structures for pre-computation combined with online interpolation might
be a viable choice for utmost accuracy while still being able to run on
a commodity smartphone in realtime.
While we were able to improve the performance of the \docWIFI{} sensor component,
the filtering process should be more robust against erroneous observations.
Getting stuck should be prevented, independent of minor changes in quality for
the signal strength prediction model \cite{todo-toni}.
