Definitions

Wireless indoor localization systems locate the target’s position in indoor environment, where the GPS signal is obstructed by walls of buildings. Current wireless indoor localization systems can be implemented with different techniques like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-wideband (UWB), and so on. The quality of service (QoS) in each indoor localization system is measured with accuracy, time delay, computational complexity, and availability.

Historical Background

How to obtain the position of the target precisely is always an important problem to solve, which plays a special role no matter in military or people’s daily life. The most famous and applicable positioning system is Global Positioning System (GPS) built with huge amount of resources by the United States in the 1970s. The GPS system provides critical...
