An integrated positioning algorithm for Wireless Fidelity / Inertial Measurement Unit (WiFi/IMU) based on D-S evidence inference theory was proposed for large indoor area Location Based Service (LBS) without beacons deployment. Firstly, the transmission model of signal strength of a single Access Point (AP) was established, then Kalman Filter was used to denoise the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). Secondly, Dempster/Shafer (D-S) evidence theory was applied in the data fusion process for real-time acquisition of multi-sources, including the signal strength of WiFi, yaw and accelerations on all shafts; then the fingerprint blocks with high confidence were selected. Finally, the Weighted K-Nearest Neighbor (WKNN) method was exploited for the terminal position estimation. Numerical simulations on unit area show that the maximum error is 2.36 m and the mean error is 1.27 m, which proves the viability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm; the cumulated error probability is 88.20% when the distance is no greater than the typical numerical value, which is superior to 70.82% of C-Support Vector Regression (C-SVR) or 67.85% of Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR). Furthermore, experiments on the whole area of the real environment also show that the proposed algorithm has an excellent environmental applicability.
