DESCRIPTION:
From the Back CoverGround Based Wireless Positioning provides an in-depth treatment of non-GPS based wireless positioning techniques, with a balance between theory and engineering practice. Presenting the latest advances in the field, Ground Based Wireless Positioning is one of the first books to cover non-GPS based technologies for wireless positioning. The book presents the architecture, design and testing of a variety of wireless positioning systems based on the time-of-arrival, signal strength, and angle-of-arrival measurements. It serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialising in the fields of local
not just GPS ! W Boudville The widespread knowledge and use of GPS, especially in cellphones, has perhaps helped to obscure the fact that there is still a need for ground based methods of location finding. This book is a comprehensive look at those ideas. It points out that they can be used in contexts where GPS is weak or unavailable, especially inside buildings.We also learn that ground based methods were historically the only means of finding location,
The book covers a wide range of issues including radio propagation, parameter identification, statistical signal processing, optimization, and localization in large and multi-hop networks. It serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialising in the fields of localization and tracking, and wireless sensor networks.Provides a comprehensive treatment of methodologies and algorithms for positioning and trackingIncludes practical issues and case studies in designing real wireless positioning systemsExplains non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio
