Positioning in Indoor Mobile Systems

Abstract

At present times people travel far greater distances on daily bases than our not so distanced ancestors had travelled in their lifetimes. Technological revolution had brought human race in an excited state and steered it towards globalization. Nevertheless, the process of globalization is not all about new and faster means of transportation or about people covering superior distances. Immense amount of information, ubiquitous and easily accessible, formulate the essence of this process. Consequently, ways through which the information flows are getting too saturated for free usage so, for example, frequency spectrum had become a vital natural resource with a price tagged on its lease. However, the price of not having the information is usually much higher. By employing various wireless technologies we are trying to make the most efficient use of frequency spectrum. These new technologies have brought along the inherent habit of users to be able to exchange information regardless of their whereabouts. Higher uncertainty of the user’s position has produced increase in the amount of information contained in its position. As a result, services built on the location awareness capabilities of the mobile devices and/or networks, usually referred to as Location Based Services (LBS, also referred to as LoCation Services – LCS), have been created. Example of services using the mobile location can be: location of emergency calls, mobile yellow pages, tracking and monitoring, location sensitive billing, commercials, etc. With the development of these services, more efforts are being pushed into producing the maximum of location-dependent information from a wireless technology. Simply, greater the amount of information available – more accurate the location estimate is. Whereas in outdoor environment the satellite-based positioning techniques, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), have considerable advantages in terms of accuracy, the problem of position determination in an indoor environment is much farther from having a unique solution. Cellular-based, Computer vision, IrDA (Infrared Data Association), ultrasound, satellite-based (Indoor GPS) and RF (Radio Frequency) systems can be used to
