Abstract

Local positioning will be one of the most exciting features of the next generation of wireless systems. Completely new concepts and features for wireless data transmission and transponder systems will emerge. Self-organizing sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, location sensitive billing, context dependent information services, tracking and guiding are only some of the numerous possible application areas. This article introduces different concepts of several existing and emerging systems and applications.
