چکیده
In this paper, we consider the practical issues related to positioning in WiMAX networks depending on the available measurements. The network under study is the Clearwire network deployed in Brussels capitol city. The focus lies on making the available terminal-based measurements, study the possibility of using these measurements in positioning and provide a comparison between these measurements depending on the accuracy achieved and the difficulty to obtain them.

متن کاملAn Indoor Positioning System for Improved Action Force Command and Disaster Management
Managing emergency situations in large buildings and underground structures could be simplified if at any time the positions of on-site emergency crews were available. In this paper a system is proposed which combines inertial measurements of moving persons with building floor plans tagged with information on semantics to achieve a novel level of robust indoor positioning. A speech driven user ...
