EVALUATION OF DYNAMIC AD-HOC UWB INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEM

Indoor Positioning – an Ad-hoc Positioning System

The aim of this paper is to discuss the development of an automatic, low-cost system that exploits current or near future wireless communications technology to enable continuous tracking of the location of devices in all environments. The development of such a wireless sensor network involves system design, digital signal processing, protocol development, extraction of ranges and localisation. ...

Ad hoc positioning system (APS)

Many ad hoc network protocols and applications assume the knowledge of geographic location of nodes. The absolute location of each networked node is an assumed fact by most sensor networks which can then present the sensed information on a geographical map. Finding location without the aid of GPS in each node of an ad hoc network is important in cases where GPS is either not accessible, or not ...

Indoor Positioning with Uwb Technology

Experimental Evaluation of UWB Indoor Positioning for Sport Postures

Radio frequency (RF)-based indoor positioning systems (IPSs) use wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and ultra-wide band (UWB)) to estimate the location of persons in areas where no Global Positioning System (GPS) reception is available, for example in indoor stadiums or sports halls. Of the above-mentioned forms of radio frequency (RF) technology, UWB is considered one o...

An Indoor Positioning Service for Bluetooth Ad Hoc Networks

Mobility has been one of the key features behind the success of wireless technology. A wide variety of additional applications are possible once this mobility is combined with location awareness. Critical for location awareness is an accurate assessment of the mobile user’s local position. Local Positioning refers to a technology used to determine the position of any device with respect to the ...
