Indoor localization in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a challenging process. This paper proposes a new approach\nto solve the localization problematic. A fuzzy linguistic localization scheme is proposed. Based on interval type 2\nfuzzy logic (IT2FL), a signal processing of the radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) minimizes the uncertainty in RSSI\nmeasurements from anchors caused by the indoor obstacles. The fuzzy system subdivides the map on fuzzy sets\ndescribed by a new fuzzy location indicator (FLI). Fluctuations on RSS fingerprints are then reduced thanks to the\nIT2FL in the input side and the FLI in the output side. Experimentations were done in the Cynapsys indoor environment\non a WSN test bed. The experimental results prove higher success rate in position estimations thanks to the FLI concept\nand the superiority of interval type 2 fuzzy logic to handle signal fluctuations
