Mobile Positioning and Tracking: From Conventional to by João Figueiras;Simone Frattasi

By João Figueiras;Simone Frattasi

This booklet provides the latest cutting-edge in cellular positioning and monitoring techniques.

This e-book discusses cellular positioning strategies utilized on most sensible of present instant verbal exchange networks. moreover, the authors introduce complex and novel themes corresponding to localization in heterogeneous and cooperative networks, delivering a unified remedy of the subject for researchers and pros alike. moreover, the e-book makes a speciality of program parts of positioning, fundamentals of instant communications for positioning, information fusion and filtering ideas, basics of monitoring, errors mitigation recommendations, positioning structures and applied sciences, and cooperative cellular positioning structures.

Key good points:

  • Covers the state-of-the-art of satellite tv for pc- and terrestrial-based positioning structures, spanning from open air to indoor environments and from huge sector networks to short-range networks
  • Discusses an entire diversity of issues with regards to cellular positioning: from basics of positioning to the outline of a large spectrum of mobility types for monitoring, from information on facts fusion and filtering concepts to mistakes mitigation strategies (including features of sign processing)
  • presents an effective bridge among study and envisaging a possible implementation of the provided recommendations
  • Fills the distance among positioning and conversation platforms, displaying how beneficial properties of verbal exchange structures can be utilized for positioning reasons and the way the retrieved place details can be utilized to reinforce the functionality of instant networks.
  • contains an accompanying web site

This booklet could be a beneficial advisor for complex scholars learning comparable classes. execs and practitioners within the box of positioning and cellular applied sciences, and software program and repair builders also will locate this booklet of interest.Content:

Then, while in operation mode, the measurements obtained are correlated with information from the calibration in order to localize the MSs. As none of the positioning systems are error-free, due to channel noise, the INTRODUCTION 7 chapter also introduces several of the most important types of errors existing in the measurements. These errors are mostly due to propagation effects, geometry and the technology used, and the consequent topology and communication protocols. Owing to the errors, it is necessary to define metrics of positioning.

2 Radio resource management The aim of radio resource management (RRM) is to utilize the available, often rather limited, radio resources as efficiently as possible. Here, “efficiency” refers to maximizing the traffic load while satisfying the QoS requirements of as many mobile users as possible and overcoming the inherent difficulties of radio wave propagation in the environment (Hasu 2007). This section provides an overview of several RRM techniques (for details, refer to Chapter 3) which can be optimized by introducing the notion of location-awareness.

Police, firefighters or paramedics). , mobile phone or car) are able to signal their location, the emergency can be treated much more efficiently, which translates into precious time saved (and consequently more lives saved), higher user satisfaction, etc. While emergency call services are usually regulated by public organizations and therefore are made available to mobile phone users without requiring any pre-subscription, other types of service, such as automotive assistance, are managed by private companies.
