This paper investigates the usefulness of multi-frequency received signal strength (RSS) for indoor localization. A collected set of data from four sites containing 7 frequencies from dual receivers and a high accuracy reference positioning system is presented. The collected data is also made publicly available through ResearchGate. The data is analyzed with respect to spatial variations using Gaussian...
In safety-critical applications, including firefighter and law enforcement operations, infrastructure-free localization systems are typically required. These systems must provide accurate localization in all scenarios. Seamless indoor and outdoor localization and navigation, including in dense urban environments, are needed. Multi-sensor fusion algorithms constitute an integral part in all state-of-the-art...
This paper aims to evaluate the performance gains that can be obtained by introducing cooperative localization in an indoor firefighter localization system, through the use of scenario-based simulations. Robust and accurate indoor localization for firefighters is a problem that is not yet resolved. Foot-mounted inertial navigation systems (INS) have been examined for first responder localization,...
This paper presents a system which combines a zero-velocity-update-(ZUPT-)aided inertial navigation system (INS), using a foot-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU), with opportunistic use of multi-frequency received signal strength (RSS) measurements. The system does not rely on maps or pre-collected data from surveys of the radio-frequency (RF) environment. Instead it builds its own database of...
A robust, accurate positioning system with seamless outdoor and indoor coverage is a highly needed tool for increasing safety in emergency response and military urban operations. It must be lightweight, small, inexpensive, and power efficient, and still provide meter-level accuracy during extended operations. GPS receivers, inertial sensors, and local radio-based ranging are natural choices for a...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems is a promising technique for achieving substantially increased capacities and robustness in future tactical wireless networks. The purpose of this work has been to investigate the theoretical link and network capacity gains that can be achieved by employing MIMO-techniques in wireless ad hoc networks. We study these gains from a theoretical viewpoint...
