Introduction to Global Positioning System

61
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense  for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

  • To enhance the precision of indoor location estimation for various user-centric applications.

Main Methods:

  • A modular, hierarchical localization system comprising four modules: course level detection, fine level detection (FLD), fine location tracking (FLT), and level change detection (LCD).
  • Sequential estimation of floor and then precise 2D location using received signal strength indicator (RSSI) vectors and radio maps.
  • A three-phase position estimation approach adapting modules based on user status and location estimation needs.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system demonstrated effective indoor localization capabilities in a six-story building.
