This book provides a comprehensive overview of the entirelandscape of both outdoor and indoor wireless positioning, andguides the reader step by step in the implementation of wirelesspositioning applications on the iPhone. Explanations of fundamentalpositioning techniques are given throughout the text, along withmany programming examples, providing the reader with anindependent, practical, and enjoyable learning of the materialwhile gaining a real feel for the subject.
* Provides an accessible introduction to positioning technologiessuch as Global Positioning System and Wi-Fi positioning
* Presents hands-on skills to iOS 5.0 programming forlocation-aware applications
* Gives a thorough grounding in signal propagation, line-of-sightand interference effects for accurate positioning
* Covers the location-aware video streaming and conferencing withpractical iPhone application examples
* Accompanied by a website containing programming code describedin the text and lecture presentation slides forinstructors
This book is primarily intended for anyone who wants to studywireless localization. It is an ideal textbook for graduatestudents who are first learning localization techniques, as well asadvanced undergraduates in computer science interested intranslating localization concepts into real code. Professionals,engineers and researchers working in location-aware services andrelated techniques using mobile positioning and AI technologieswill find this book to be a helpful reference.
