Kurzbeschreibung Current trends in mobile services envisage location-based networking as a major strong stimulator for the development of novel solutions for obtaining positioning information in wireless networks. This book discusses mobile positioning solutions applied on top of current wireless communication networks. Moreover, it introduces advanced and novel topics such as localization in heterogeneous and cooperative scenarios. Accompanied by a Web site, Mobile Positioning also provides a bridge between research and industry, envisaging a potential implementation. It is an ideal text for students in the field of positioning and mobile technologies.
