Contextual Geolocation: a Specialized Application for Improving Indoor Location Awareness in Wireless Local Area Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The future of computing includes "adaptive" menu structures for applications that will automatically select content and navigation options – as desired – based upon the location of the user. With wireless systems, location awareness improves networking efficiency and helps alleviate the notoriously slow process of inputting information into handheld computers. For example, a security guard could have a wireless device that automatically presents him with a list of authorized occupants or equipment as he walks toward a specific room. Along with speech recognition technology, location-based services are revolutionizing the capabilities and ease of use of mobile devices. In order for location-based services to be offered consistently to consumers, a reliable indoor wireless geolocation infrastructure must exist. This paper describes a contextual geolocation application using RF fingerprinting and an intuitive indoor geographic information system for improving indoor location awareness in wireless local area networks.

Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...
