Abstract

Location-aware software has become widespread outdoors. Indoor applications are now on the rise. However, careful selection of the appropriate local positioning system (LPS) and application fine-tuning are required in order to guarantee acceptable user experience. We present a simulation-based approach that includes application characteristics, LPS characteristics, and building characteristics to this complex task and illustrate how the appropriate LPS can be chosen and how applications can be fine-tuned. A sophisticated indoor navigation system is used as sample application. The paper also provides insights into subtle details and caveats of different LPS technologies from an application and building viewpoint.
