Mobile Positioning and Tracking: From Conventional to Cooperative Techniques (Wiley - IEEE)

. Francescantonio Della Rosa, MSc, works on hybrid data fusion and software development for GNSS receiver prototypes and mobile devices within the EU FP7 project, GRAMMAR (Galileo Ready Advanced Mass Market Receiver), at Tampere University of Technology, Finland. Simone Frattasi, PhD, is currently Head of the Patent Section of Sony Mobile Communications in Lund, Sweden. Previously, he worked as Technical Project Manager at Aalbo

It is also a valuable reference for advanced students in related disciplines studying positioning and mobile technologies. . The authors fill the gap between positioning and communication systems, showing how features of wireless communications systems can be used for positioning purposes and how the retrieved location information can be used to enhance the performance of wireless networks.Unlike other books on the subject, Mobile Positioning and Tracking: From Conventional to Cooperative Techniques, 2nd Edition covers the entire positioning and tracking value chain, starting from the measurement of positioning signals, and offering valuable insights into the theoretical fundamentals behind these methods and how they relate to application areas such as location-based services, as well as related disciplines and professional concerns, including global business considerations and the changing laws and standards governing wireless communication networks.Fully updated and revised for the latest developments in the field, this Second Edition:Features new chapters on UWB positioning and tracking, indoor positioning in WLAN, and multi-tag positioning in RFIDExplores an array of positioning and tracking systems based on satellite and terrestrial systems technologies and methodsIntroduces advanced and novel topics such as localisation in heterogeneous and cooperative scenariosProvides a bridge between research and industry with potentia
