چکیده

Precise indoor localization of wireless nodes remains a challenge today. While there are radio-frequency (RF) methods that offer significant advantages, the balance between accuracy, range, and cost is suboptimal for many applications. Radio interferometry has been shown to be effective outdoors, however, its applicability indoors has not been demonstrated mainly due to its sensitivity to multipath. This paper presents a roadmap outlining how the method can be enhanced to advance the state-of-the-art in indoor RF localization.

WiPLoc: Perpetual Indoor Localization with RF Wireless Power Transfer

Indoor localization is a cornerstone of mobile services. Until now most of the research effort has focused on achieving sub-meter localization accuracy because many mobile applications depend on precise localization measurements. In some scenarios, however, it is required to trade location accuracy for system maintainability. For example, in large-scale deployments of indoor networks, such as i...

Embedded Wireless System for Pedestrian Localization in Indoor Environments

The paper presents an embedded telemetry system used in combination of localization algorithm for a precise indoor pedestrian localization. The system is based on the association of two wireless technologies: ultrasonic and 802.15.4. The novelty is the use of 802.15.4 RF signal to give the reference starting time of the ultrasonic emission. A ToA (Time of Arrival) measurement provides the dista...
