Hardcover, xx + 348 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed in the USA. Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show short creases in upper outer corners; mild scuff-marks on spine. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Indoor navigation and tracking demand solutions beyond GPS, and this volume delivers a rigorous analysis of the full spectrum of indoor positioning technologies to guide researchers, engineers, and system designers. -- Beginning with historical navigation milestones linking time, space, and satellite development, the book moves to define the indoor positioning problem and its practical constraints. It introduces the theoretical basis behind approaches such as angle, distance, Doppler, inertial, and image-based measurements before comparing around forty candidate technologies. These are grouped by range: proximity systems like QR codes, NFC, and barcodes; room-restricted techniques using infrared, laser, lidar, and ultrasound; multi-room systems based on radar, RFID, and UWB; and building-scale technologies including Bluetooth, WiFi, LiFi, image SLAM, and inertial sensors. Special attention is given to adaptations of GNSS indoors and the trade-offs of pseudolites, repeaters, and hybrid models. The text also covers block- and city-wide methods through mobile networks, LoRa, TV, and radio broadcasting. Later chapters analyze fusion and hybridization techniques, collaborative schemes, and the critical role of mapping for room-level navigation and context-aware services. The discussion culminates in scenarios exploring the potential transformation of everyday life once seamless indoor positioning becomes reliable across infrastructures. -- This book's distinctiveness lies in treating indoor positioning both as a set of technical methods and as a deployment problem shaped by range, infrastructure, and application needs. Unlike narrower treatments, it catalogues a wide variety of sensor, radio, and mapping solutions while candidly addressing their limitations. These comparative baselines remain essential for current design of location-based services, IoT applications, and smart building systems, where interoperability and performance tuning drive success. It is valuable not only for engineers and students in wireless systems and signal processing, but also for industrial developers seeking feasibility assessments and frameworks for technology selection. Its clarity in distinguishing technique from technology makes it a durable reference for understanding how indoor navigation can be practically realized. …

Provides technical and scientific descriptions of potential approaches used to achieve indoor positioning, ranging from sensor networks to more advanced radio-based systems
This book presents a large technical overview of various approaches to achieve indoor positioning. These approaches cover those based on sensors, cameras, satellites, and other radio-based methods. The book also discusses the simplification of certain implementations, describing ways for the reader to design solutions that respect specifications and follow established techniques. Descriptions of the main techniques used for positioning, including angle measurement, distance measurements, Doppler measurements, and inertial measurements are also given.
Indoor Positioning: Technologies and Performance starts with overviews of the first age of navigation, the link between time and space, the radio age, the first terrestrial positioning systems, and the era of artificial satellites. It then introduces readers to the subject of indoor positioning, as well as positioning techniques and their associated difficulties. Proximity technologies like bar codes, image recognition, Near Field Communication (NFC), and QR codes are covered―as are room restricted and building range technologies. The book examines wide area indoor positioning as well as world wide indoor technologies like High-Sensitivity and Assisted GNSS, and covers maps and mapping. It closes with the author's vision of the future in which the practice of indoor positioning is perfected across all technologies. This text:
- Explores aspects of indoor positioning from both theoretical and practical points of view
- Describes advantages and drawbacks of various approaches to positioning
- Provides examples of design solutions that respect specifications of tested techniques
- Covers infra-red sensors, lasers, Lidar, RFID, UWB, Bluetooth, Image SLAM, LiFi, WiFi, indoor GNSS, and more
Indoor Positioning is an ideal guide for technical engineers, industrial and application developers, and students studying wireless communications and signal processing.
