Abstract

Wireless indoor networks are finding their way into the home and office environments. Also, exploiting location information becomes very popular for both wireless service providers and consumers applications. However, the indoor radio channel causes challenges in extracting accurate location information in indoor environment so that traditional GPS and cellular location systems cannot work properly in indoor areas. This paper provides an overview of the indoor geolocation techniques. After introducing an overall architecture for indoor geolocation systems, technical overview of two indoor geolocation systems are presented. To demonstrate the predicted performance of such systems some simulation results obtained from an indoor geolocation demonstrator are presented.
