About the Book

This book presents the most recent state of the art in mobile positioning and tracking techniques. This book discusses mobile positioning solutions applied on top of current wireless communication networks. In addition, the authors introduce advanced and novel topics such as localization in heterogeneous and cooperative networks, providing a unified treatment of the topic for researchers and industry professionals alike. Furthermore, the book focuses on application areas of positioning, basics of wireless communications for positioning, data fusion and filtering techniques, fundamentals of tracking, error mitigation techniques, positioning systems and technologies, and cooperative mobile positioning systems. Key Features: Covers the state of the art of satellite- and terrestrial-based positioning systems, spanning from outdoor to indoor environments and from wide area networks to short-range networks Discusses a whole range of topics related to mobile positioning: from fundamentals of positioning to the description of a wide spectrum of mobility models for tracking, from details on data fusion and filtering techniques to error mitigation techniques (including aspects of signal processing) Provides a solid bridge between research and industry envisaging a potential implementation of the presented solutions Fills the gap between positioning and communication systems, showing how features of communication systems can be used for positioning purposes and how the retrieved location information can be used to enhance the performance of wireless networks. Includes an accompanying website This book will be a valuable guide for advanced students studying related courses. Professionals and practitioners in the field of positioning and mobile technologies, and software and service developers will also find this book of interest.

About the Author :
Dr Simone Frattasi, Aalborg University, Denmark Dr Frattasi has been working at Aalborg University since 2002. In November 2007, he joined the Radio Access Technology (RATE) section, where he is currently the project leader of an industrial project (LA-TDD) in collaboration with Nokia Siemens Networks. His research interests mainly include: cooperation in wireless networks; link layer techniques; wireless location; quality of service mechanisms; next generation wireless services and ahrchitectures; user perspectives and sociological dimensions related to the evolution of technology and society. Mr João Figueiras, Aalborg University, Denmark Mr Figueiras has been employed at the Department of Electronic Systems, Networking and Security Group, Aalborg University as a PhD student under a project named: Wireless Access Network Devices & Applications (WANDA). During his PhD he has been a short-term research visitor at the Electrical Engineering Department of UCLA, CA, USA and at the Mobile Team at Google Inc, Mountain View, USA. He is been an active member of IEEE. His major activity concerns management and organization of a technical conference aiming at students, AISPC'08.
