International Conference on Localization and Global Navigation Satellite Systems 2011

The International Conference on Localization and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICLGNSS) 2011 was held on June 29-30, 2011 in Tampere, Finland. This was the inaugural issue of an annual localization event. ICL-GNSS is devoted to all aspects of localization, positioning and navigation, whether using satellites, communication network signals, inertial sensors, or any signal of opportunity. Driven by both market trends and legal regulations, there is a high demand for providing a robust localization solution, which will be available continuously, regardless the specific environment, i.e., outdoors and indoors, and which would overcome and complement the drawbacks of the current stand-alone single-frequency satellite-based navigation systems. The research and development activities on wireless location techniques and technologies have been increasing at a fast pace during past years and currently represent one of the most timely and challenging research topics in the wireless electronics field. The ICL-GNSS conference uses peer review of full papers, and is technically cosponsored by the Communications Society of IEEE. The conference papers are distributed to the participants in electronic proceedings, and stored in the IEEE Xplore database.
