Introduction,e capable devices, have opened the door for location-aware applications to permeate all aspects of everyday life. Location is at the core of a number of high-value applications including emergency response, navigation, asset tracking, ground surveying, and many others. The market for GPS products an

The market for GPS products and services was estimated at 15 billion euros in 2001 and is expected to grow to 140 billion euros by 2015 [141]. It is estimated that by 2020, the number of GPS chipsets will appr

Infrared and Ultrasonic Systems, light and sound have very different properties. What they have in common, however, is that while they move freely in open space, light and sound are both largely blocked by the materials such as walls, curtains, and partitions that humans use to define the borders of their living spaces. This makes

Location Estimation With 802.11, all of these systems work the same way: 802.11 radios and their supporting drivers allow a device to scan for nearby 802.11 access points (APs). Regardless of the variant of 802.11 (a, b, g, n) or whether encryption is enabled, these scans return a list of the nearby APs and their unique IDs called
