Contents:

Introduction -- Application areas of positioning -- Basics of wireless communications for positioning / Nicola Marchetti -- Fundamentals of positioning -- Data fusion and filtering techniques -- Fundamentals of tracking -- Error mitigation techniques / Ismail Guvenc -- Positioning systems and technologies / Adreas Waadt, Guido H. Bruck and Peter Jung -- Cooperative mobile positioning.

Summary: This book presents the most recent state of the art in mobile positioning and tracking techniques. Current trends in mobile services envisage location-based networking as a major strong stimulator for the development of novel solutions for obtaining positioning information in wireless networks. 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. <a href="http://www.wiley.com/go/figueiras_mobile">www.wiley.com/go/figueiras_mobile</a>.
