UWB technology for indoor localization: from theory to practice

Stefania Monica-2015-01-01-DSpaceUnipr (University of Parma)

TL;DRAbstract

In this dissertation, the localization of targets in indoor environment by means of the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology has been investigated from analytical, simulative and experimental points of view. \n\nIn Chapter 1, the motivations of the importance of indoor localization are presented and an overview of the literature on this topic is given. A variety of approaches suitable to address this problem is described and the advantages brought by the UWB technology in this context are emphasized.\n\nAiming at finding strategies to improve the localization accuracy, the presented work initially focuses on optimized placement of Anchor Nodes (ANs) used for target localization. In particular, in Chapter 2, an analytical approach to optimized ANs placement for UWB-based localization of a target moving in a large indoor scenario is proposed.
