Abstract :
Information on atmospheric pressure may be used in local positioning systems based on wireless sensors networks. This paper discusses the possibility of improving positioning accuracy in multistory buildings. Also pressure sensor data are used to save radio bandwidth and thus to decrease power consumption of radio modules. It is applicable especially in the systems with server-centric control of ranging schedule.
