Synopses & Reviews
Focusing on the special challenges posed by accurately pinpointing a location indoors, this volume reflects the distance we have come in the handful of decades since the germination of GPS technology. Not only can we locate a signal to within a meter's accuracy, but we now have this technology in the most basic mobile phone. Tracing recent practical developments in positioning technology and in the market it supplies, the author examines the contributions of the varied research--in silicon, signal and image processing, radio communications and software--to a fast-evolving field. The book looks forward to a time when, in addition to directing your road journey, positioning systems can peer indoors and guide you to an available photocopier in your office building. Featuring standalone chapters each dealing with a specific aspect of the subject, including treatments of systems such as Zebra, Awarepoint, Aeroscout, IEEE 802.11, etc. This study has all the detail needed to get up to speed on a key modern technology.
Synopsis
This comprehensive examination of the theory and engineering behind today's location technologies covers those already in the marketplace and those under development. The author examines the technologies from end to end as well as the mathematics involved.
Synopsis
Indoor Position Location Technology provides an understanding of the current location technology theories and engineering used today. This book is a comprehensive look at the technologies which have emerged or are emerging from research into commercialization and covers the most relevant and promising technologies currently being pursed for real world deployment. The author examines the aspects of indoor location from a complete end to end system perspective. The book contains chapters on GPS covering both basic principles and engineering; RF based technologies; and the most frequently used mathematical tools.
