Abstract :
The indoor environment offers different constrains that stimulate cooperative methods to improve positioning accuracy. An important constraint indoors is the high density of potentially cooperating devices compared to outdoors. Indoor could also make use of outdoor positioned mobile nodes by using or exploiting peer-2-peer (P2P) connectivity. The P2P connectivity indoors only supports the ubiquitous indoor positioning experience itself. In this paper we investigate cooperative positioning with distributed algorithms to improve the accuracy indoors.
