These sensing devices are connected to the internet for information exchange. The location and positioning of these nodes is very important information required in vast range of location based services like smart homes, smart healthcare, environmental monitoring, personal navigation and smart transportation. This paper presents an intelligent solution for node localization in a 6G enabled IoT network. An indoor communication network scenario is proposed in which reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are installed to locate the sensor nodes operating in that network. The performance evaluation of the proposed scheme is carried out with optimum number of reflecting elements and optimum phase shifts. It is observed that optimized RISs with 100 reflecting elements improve the estimated localization error by 7.4% over non-optimum RISs. Also, the minimum gain of 6% in localization error is offered using equal phase shifts over random phase shifts. Further, the effect of channel conditions on the average estimation error in node locations is also elaborated. In the end, the explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) empowered indoor localization is discussed as a use case scenario and the performance comparison of the algorithms is evaluated. metadata Taneja, Ashu; Rani, Shalli; Breñosa, Jose; Tolba, Amr y Kadry, Seifedine mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, josemanuel.brenosa@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2023) An improved WiFi sensing based indoor navigation with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for 6G enabled IoT network and AI explainable use case.
