Klappentext This book is the definitive guide to the techniques and applications of position location, covering both terrestrial and satellite systems. It gives all the techniques, theoretical models and algorithms that an engineer needs to improve their current location schemes and to develop future location algorithms and systems. Comprehensive coverage is given to system design trade-offs, complexity issues, and the design of efficient positioning algorithms, enabling the creation of high-performance location positioning systems. Traditional methods are also re-examined in the context of the challenges posed by reconfigurable and multi-hop networks. Applications discussed include wireless networks (UWB, WiFi, ZigBee, UMTS and DVB networks), cognitive radio and sensor and multi-hop networks. Zusammenfassung A guide to the techniques and applications of position location! covering both terrestrial and satellite systems. It provides comprehensive coverage of system design trade-offs! complexity issues! and the design of efficient positioning algorithms to enable the creation of high-performance location positioning systems.

Report
"Overall, this book has a wider potential audience than communications engineers. Anyone involved in scanners, such as medical ultrasound instruments or robotic world-map builders for autonomous mobile vehicles, will have a possible interest in this book because the authors present their material in tutorial form, making it possible to benefit from the basic principles without being a communications specialist." --EN-Genius Network
