Location-based service providing the customized information or service according to the user's location has attracted a lot of attention from the mobile communication industry. The service is realized by means of several building blocks, a localization scheme, service platform, application and service. The localization scheme figures out a moving target's position through measuring and processing a wireless signal. In this paper, we propose an adaptive localization scheme in an indoor localization system based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard. In order to enhance the localization accuracy, the proposed scheme selects the best reference points and adaptively reflects the changes of propagation environments of a moving target to approximate distances between the target and the reference points in RSS(Received Signal Strength) based localization system using triangulation. Through the implementation of the localization system, we verify the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the localization accuracy.
