Download or read book The Newcom Vision Book written by Sergio Benedetto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book contains the Vision of the researchers of the European Network of Excellence NEWCOM++ (Network of Excellence on Wireless COMmunication) on the present and future status of Wireless Communication Networks. In its content, the community of NEWCOM++ researchers, shaped under the common ground of a mainly academic network of excellence, have distilled their scientific wisdom in a number of areas characterized by the common denominator of wireless communications, by identifying the medium-long term research tendencies/problems, describing the tools to face them and providing a relatively large number of references for the interested reader. The identified areas and the researchers involved in their redaction reflect the intersection of the major topics in wireless communications with those that are deeply investigated in NEWCOM++; they are preceded by an original description of the main trends in user/society needs and the degree of fulfilment that ongoing and future wireless communications standards will more likely help achieving. The appendix of the Book contains a list of "Millenium Problems", seminal problems in the area of wireless communication networks, characterized by being crucial and still unsolved. The problems have been identified by NEWCOM++ researchers and filtered by the editors of the Vision Book.

Download or read book Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS less Environnments written by Richard Fuller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the second International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS-less Environnments, MELT, held in Orlando, Florida, USA, in September 2009 in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp 2009). MELT is a forum for the state-of-the-art technologies in mobile localization and tracking and novel applications of location-based services. The research contributions in these proceedings cover significant aspects of localization and tracking of mobile devices that include techniques suitable for smart phones and mobile sensor networks in both outdoor and indoor environments using diverse sensors and radio signals. Novel theoretical methods, algorithmic design and analysis, application development, and experimental studies are presented in 14 papers that were reviewed carefully by the program committee. In addition, three invited papers, with topics on location determination using RF systems, Cramer-Rao-Bound analysis for indoor localization and approaches targeting mobile sensor networks, are also included in the proceedings.

Download or read book Opportunistic Indoors Localization Based on Linear Matrix Inequalities written by GuoDong Kang and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les services de localisation de personnes et de matériels sont de plus en plus demandés. En environnement extérieur, les outils GPS offrent une réponse à cette demande croissante, avec une précision de l'ordre du mètre en espace dégagé. En intérieur, il n'existe pas d'outil aussi performant. Les solutions commerciales sont coûteuses en équipement. Les propositions de recherche, quant à elles, font appel soit à du matériel coûteux soit à une infrastructure lourde. Enfin, le succès actuel des téléphones mobiles "intelligents" auprès du grand public d'une part, et l'émergence des réseaux de capteurs dans le monde académique nous amènent à étudier des solutions viables y compris pour des mobiles ne disposant que de la réception de signaux radio. L'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer une mécanisme de localisation en intérieur à la fois peu coûteux, sans recours à des équipements dédiés du type UWB ni à des infrastructures supplémentaires, tout en offrant une précision de l'ordre du mètre. Pour cela, nous faisons l'hypothèse que l'utilisateur désirant se localiser est environné de pairs sachant estimer leur position, éventuellement de façon grossière, et que l'utilisateur peut patienter quelques instants pendant que l'algorithme de localisation s'exécute. L'utilisateur collecte alors de façon opportuniste les informations de localisation de tous ces pairs. Dans cette thèse nous étudions les performances en termes de précision d'une méthode de localisation utilisant des inégalités matricielles linéaires (LMI), en faisant varier un grand nombre de paramètres. Nous comparons systématiquement ces performances à celles de l'une des solutions les plus simples, celle du centre de gravité de tous les pairs à portée. Nous améliorons ensuite l'approche LMI en la couplant à une moyenne pondérée dans le temps, qui permet d'obtenir une bien meilleure précision proche du mètre. Enfin, nous terminons par des considérations d'implémentation. Les travaux de cette thèse ont été menés dans le cadre du projet ANR Fusion d'Information de Localisation (FIL).
