The first book to combine satellite & terrestrial positioning techniques
- vital for the understanding & development of new technologies Written & edited by leading experts in the field with contributors belonging to the European Commission's FP7 Network of Excellence NEWCOM Applications to a wide range of fields including sensor networks emergency services military use location-based billing location-based advertising intelligent transportation & leisure Location-aware personal devices & location-based services have become ever more prominent in the past few years thanks to the significant advances in position location technology Sensor networks geographic information emergency services location management location-based billing location-based advertising intelligent transportation & leisure applications are just some of the potential applications that can be enabled by these techniques Increasingly satellite & terrestrial positioning techniques are being combined for maximum performance; to produce the next wave of location-based devices & services engineers need to combine both components This book is the first to present a holistic view covering all aspects of positioning both terrestrial & satellite both theory & practice both performance bounds & signal processing techniques It will provide a valuable resource for product developers & R&D engineers allowing them to improve existing location techniques & develop future approaches for new systems
