Description
Summary:Highly accurate and reliable indoor positioning - at accuracy levels in the 10 cm range - will enable a large a number of innovative location-based applications because such accuracy levels essentially allow for a useful real-time interaction of humans and cyber-physical systems. Activity recognition, navigation at "shelf" level, geofencing, process monitoring and process control are among the envisioned services that will yield numerous applications in various domains. This paper reviews the difficulties faced by indoor positioning systems, motivating the requirement for a large signal bandwidth and how a lack of bandwidth can be compensated by multi-antenna systems. The potential capabilities of upcoming generations of wireless systems will increasingly make high-accuracy positioning available in near future.
