Abstract :
There are many approaches in literatures using the knowledge of time delay to locate the user position in WLAN system. All of them have to modify the existing WLAN infrastructure. The scales of modifications are made on hardware up to the changes in protocol of WLAN. Hence, it is an unattractive approach to use time delay for positioning system. In this paper, the new concept of utilizing time day of successful transmission to locate the position of WLAN user is presented. The advantage of using the proposed technique is no extra modification necessarily appended in the existing system. The measurement results confirm the validation of proposed concept.
