Focus

In the last few years, interest in indoor navigation has expanded significantly. Various emerging applications require positioning of users indoors. One of the most important potential applications of indoor navigation is emergency call location in cellular telephone networks, for which both availability and accuracy are critical. This is particular important in the light of the emergency call regulation E-911 in the U.S.A. and the E-112 directive of the European Commission. Furthermore, the increasing demand for personal navigation and location-based services is in addition driving research and development of indoor localization and positioning.
Thus, the seminar is focused on the fundamentals related to indoor navigation and on the architecture of state-of-the art and future navigation systems for indoor localization and positioning. In the first part of the course the basic challenges of as well as the key algorithmic technologies for indoor navigation are presented (High-Sensitivity GALILEO/GPS, Assisted GNSS, Cellular and Wireless Network positioning, RFID, Hybrid Positioning). In the second part case studies for future-oriented application fields will be outlined. The course should help to understand the challenges as well as the limitations of indoor navigation systems.
