Ground-Based Wireless Positioning

Beschreibung

Ground Based Wireless Positioning provides an in-depthtreatment of non-GPS based wireless positioning techniques, with abalance between theory and engineering practice. The book presentsthe architecture, design and testing of a variety of wirelesspositioning systems based on the time-of-arrival, signal strength,and angle-of-arrival measurements. These techniques are essentialfor developing accurate wireless positioning systems which canoperate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments where theGlobal Positioning System (GPS) proves to be inadequate. The bookcovers a wide range of issues including radio propagation,parameter identification, statistical signal processing,optimization, and localization in large and multi-hop networks. Acomprehensive study on the state-of-the-art techniques andmethodologies in wireless positioning and tracking is provided,including anchor-based and anchor-free localisation in wirelesssensor networks (WSN). The authors address real world issues suchas multipath, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, accuracylimitations and measurement errors. Presenting the latest advances in the field, Ground BasedWireless Positioning is one of the first books to cover non-GPSbased technologies for wireless positioning. It serves as anindispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialisingin the fields of localization and tracking, and wireless sensornetworks. * Provides a comprehensive treatment of methodologies andalgorithms for positioning and tracking * Includes practical issues and case studies in designing realwireless positioning systems * Explains non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio propagation and NLOSmitigation techniques * Balances solid theory with engineering practice of non-GPSwireless systems
