Abstract :
Effective evaluation of positioning methods in order to give fair results when comparing different positioning technologies requires performance measurements applicable to all the positioning technologies for mobile positioning. In this paper, we outline and compare five major performance measures namely, accuracy, reliability, availability, latency, and applicability, and how they apply to positioning technologies.
