Book excerpt: [ANGLÈS] Some applications such as industrial automation, cargo handling, warehouse managing, monitoring of autonomous robot or personnel localization, require reliable indoor positioning. In particular, the requirement is to accurately localize a mobile wireless node in real-time. In outdoor scenarios, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) are commonly used for positioning. Nevertheless, they present notable shortcomings for being used in indoor applications. The principal disadvantages are the low accuracy achieved and the attenuation and reflections introduced by buildings and other structures, which make impossible their use in most cases. The fixed and smaller operational area of an indoor positioning application in comparison with the area of an outdoor application makes it possible to install a radio positioning infrastructure. Concretely, the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) positioning system considered in this thesis consists of nodes installed in fixed and known positions (slaves) and a mobile node of unknown position (master) which is the one to be localized. The operation of the system is based on calculating the distance from the master to the slaves by measuring the Round-Trip-Time of a UWB pulse. In this way an estimate of the position can be obtained, with the advantage of having bounded errors, but, in contrast, the estimations have a low dynamic range and other navigation information cannot be measured. The master has some sensors attached, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a Dead-Reckoning (DR) system. By propagating the navigation equations, estimates of the position and other navigational states can be obtained, but with the disadvantage of having errors that grow with time. The solution of the problems related to the individual location systems is using information fusion algorithms. Such algorithms, by means of integrating different sources of data, in this case the UWB range measurements and the IMU and DR measurements, create a positioning system which combines the benefits of the individual systems. In this project the aim is to develop, implement and evaluate sensor fusion algorithms. In particular, the developed algorithms are based on the Extended Kalman Filter and the Particle Filter. Furthermore, they have been adapted to different dynamic models, in order to find the algorithms which fit better with the motion of a mobile node. The developed algorithms has been tested with simulated trajectories using Matlab, and with real experimental datasets acquired by a mobile robot. The results have shown the benefits of the information fusion, since the accuracies obtained in the estimations have outperformed the accuracies obtained with the individual systems. Also in the most unfavorable cases, when one of the sources has high errors in the measurements, the algorithms have been able to discard the useless information and estimate using only the useful measurements, proving the robustness of the system.

Book excerpt: In the age of automation the ability to navigate persons and devices in indoor environments has become increasingly important for a rising number of applications. However, we are still far away from achieving cheap provision of global indoor positioning with an accuracy of 1 meter or better. With the emergence of global satellite positioning systems, the performance of outdoor positioning has become excellent, but many mass market applications require seamless positioning capabilities in all environments. Therefore indoor positioning has become a focus of research and development during the past decade. This book categorizes all sighted indoor positioning approaches into 13 distinct technologies and describes the measuring principles of each. Individual approaches are characterized and key performance parameters are quantified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, rapid development in robotics, mobile, and communication technologies has encouraged many studies in the field of localization and navigation in indoor environments. An accurate localization system that can operate in an indoor environment has considerable practical value, because it can be built into autonomous mobile systems or a personal navigation system on a smartphone for guiding people through airports, shopping malls, museums and other public institutions, etc. Such a system would be particularly useful for blind people. Modern smartphones are equipped with numerous sensors (such as inertial sensors, cameras, and barometers) and communication modules (such as WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, LTE/5G, and UWB capabilities), which enable the implementation of various localization algorithms, namely, visual localization, inertial navigation system, and radio localization. For the mapping of indoor environments and localization of autonomous mobile sysems, LIDAR sensors are also frequently used in addition to smartphone sensors. Visual localization and inertial navigation systems are sensitive to external disturbances; therefore, sensor fusion approaches can be used for the implementation of robust localization algorithms. These have to be optimized in order to be computationally efficient, which is essential for realtime processing and low energy consumption on a smartphone or robot.

Book excerpt: Positioning in Wireless Communications Systems explains the principal differences and similarities of wireless communications systems and navigation systems. It discusses scenarios which are critical for dedicated navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and which motivate the use of positioning based on terrestrial wireless communication systems. The book introduces approaches for determination of parameters which are dependent on the position of the mobile terminal and also discusses iterative algorithms to estimate and track the position of the mobile terminal. Models for radio propagation and user mobility are important for performance investigations and assessments using computer simulations. Thus, channel and mobility models are explored, especially focussing on critical navigation environments like urban or indoor scenarios. Positioning in Wireless Communications Systems examines advanced algorithms such as hybrid data fusion of satellite navigation and positioning with wireless communications and cooperative positioning among mobile terminals.. The performance of the discussed positioning techniques are explored on the basis of already existing and operable terrestrial wireless communication systems such as GSM, UMTS, or LTE and it is shown how positioning issues are fixed in respective standards. Written by industry experts working at the cutting edge of technological development, the authors are well placed to give an excellent view on this topic, enabling in-depth coverage of current developments. Key features • Unique in its approach to dealing with a heterogeneous system approach, different cell structures and signal proposals for future communications systems • Covers hybrid positioning investigating how GNSS and wireless communications positioning complement each other • Applications and exploitation of positioning information are discussed to show the benefits of including this information in several parts of a wireless communications system
