Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present a prototype LocNet API programming interface for indoor positioning systems and a prototype LocFusion API interface enabling joint use of terminal positioning data from mobile operator´s GMLC and the LocNet API. The use of data from complementary information sources can improve the accuracy of user terminal positioning in large buildings, where coverage of satellite systems is weak.
