(More customer reviews)The widespread knowledge and use of GPS, especially in cellphones, has perhaps helped to obscure the fact that there is still a need for ground based methods of location finding. This book is a comprehensive look at those ideas. It points out that they can be used in contexts where GPS is weak or unavailable, especially inside buildings.
We also learn that ground based methods were historically the only means of finding location, until satellites were deployed.
Also, ground based methods can be more accurate than GPS. Through traditional mapping or surveying, if you have a fixed point on the ground, its location might be found, relative to some fiducial point, to greater accuracy than what GPS or even assisted GPS can furnish.

Ground Based Wireless Positioning provides an in-depth treatment of non-GPS based wireless positioning techniques, with a balance between theory and engineering practice. The book presents the architecture, design and testing of a variety of wireless positioning systems based on the time-of-arrival, signal strength, and angle-of-arrival measurements. These techniques are essential for developing accurate wireless positioning systems which can operate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) proves to be inadequate. The book covers a wide range of issues including radio propagation, parameter identification, statistical signal processing, optimization, and localization in large and multi-hop networks. A comprehensive study on the state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies in wireless positioning and tracking is provided, including anchor-based and anchor-free localisation in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The authors address real world issues such as multipath, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, accuracy limitations and measurement errors.
Presenting the latest advances in the field, Ground Based Wireless Positioning is one of the first books to cover non-GPS based technologies for wireless positioning. It serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialising in the fields of localization and tracking, and wireless sensor networks.
