Abstract :
Location aware services are becoming attractive with the deployment of next generation wireless networks and broadband multimedia wireless networks especially in indoor and campus areas. To provide location aware services, obtaining the position of a user accurately is important. While it is possible to deploy additional infrastructure for this purpose, using existing communications infrastructure is preferred for cost reasons. Because of technical restrictions, location fingerprinting schemes are the most promising. In this paper we present a systematic study of the performance tradeoff and deployment issues. In this paper we present some experimental results towards such a systematic study and discuss some issues related to the indoor positioning problem.
