| Abstract
|
Wireless communication technology has enabled mobility of personal devices equipped with sensing and computing capabilities. An important consequence of such mobility is that resource and information needs of users change with their physical location. This location dependency has incited the emergence of location-based services that cater to changing user contexts. Such services are offered as value-added features on top of existing communication infrastructures in various applications including location-specific information delivery and network management.
To support location-based services, accurate and reliable user location information is needed. This need has sparked a new interest in positioning and tracking systems. In this talk, I will discuss the history, applications, and theory of positioning in indoor wireless local area networks (WLAN).
