Handbook of position location : theory, practice, and advances

---

Radio systems capable of localization find applications in many areas including
homeland security, law enforcement, emergency response, defense command and
control, multi-robot coordination, and vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian
collision avoidance. In fact, high resolution localization is vital for many applica-
tions, including: traffic alerts, emergency services (e.g., indoor localization for fire-
fighters), and battlefield command and control. These systems promise to dramatically
reduce society’s vulnerabilities to catastrophic events and improve its quality of life.
While work in the important areas of localization is progressing, limited
resources are available to support graduate students and researchers: more specifi-
cally, a limited number of books have been published in this area, and the existing
books don’t have sufficient depth or breadth to be considered a handbook on posi-
tioning techniques.
This handbook presents a review of both classic and emerging techniques, and
introduces advanced practical methods in localization and positioning. The chapters
will allow any working engineer or graduate student to quickly come up to speed
on a specific topic. The handbook will also help university professors to teach the
fundamentals of wireless localization in graduate schools worldwide. The intended
audience thus includes graduate students, researchers and industry.
Many chapters that explain the fundamentals of localization systems include
MATLAB examples and their solutions. MATLAB examples have been designed to
help researchers and graduate students learn the fundamental algorithms for posi-
tioning and get started with their research at a faster pace. All MATLAB codes are
available online and the readers are provided with a unique user-id and password to
access this code.
The handbook’s second edition addresses shortcomings of the previous edition
and includes additional emerging topics in localization. There has been considerable
activity in the field since the first edition was published in 2011, including such
applications as GPS, drones and autonomous vehicles. The new edition adds a com-
plete review on techniques for localization error evaluation. A comprehensive chapter
on Kalman filtering has also been added. A new Part V which focuses on Global
Positioning (e.g., GPS), a subject of obvious importance, has been added to enhance
a weakness in the first edition. In part VII, chapters on the new fields of autonomous
driving and visible light localization have been added.
