Background:
The ability to locate and seamlessly track assets in indoor/dense urban
environments without access to GPS is a complex and challenging task
mainly due to the harsh multipath environment and the high probability
of non-line of sight (NLOS). The value of accurate range/position
information is the key requirement for many emerging applications in the
public safety, commercial, and residential domains, such as locating
firefighters or objects and instruments in warehouses and hospitals. As
a result, of interest to the workshop will be NLOS identification and
mitigation algorithms that show great promise in identifying troublesome
channel conditions that can be mitigated or even eliminated to improve
location accuracy. In addition, propagation measurement campaigns and
modelling studies as well as testbeds are fundamental to the problem and
will be highly valuable to the research community. While extracting
accurate location information is fundamental to the design of
positioning systems, cooperative and cognitive positioning algorithms
exploiting short range communication links can enhance robustness.
Geo-location information can also serve as complementary data to
estimate and predict critical parameters for improving wireless
communication networks. In cognitive radio networks, geo-location and
context-aware algorithms can support sensing methods to overcome e.g.
the hidden node problem. Machine learning techniques take advantage of
heterogeneous networks to track mobile nodes using cooperative or
non-cooperative sensor networks using the geo-location information.
The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of new
positioning algorithms based both on (indoor) wireless communications
and (outdoor) satellite navigation systems as well as new position-aware
procedures to enhance the efficiency of communication networks.
By bringing together academic and industrial efforts in geo-location
research and location-enabled wireless communications, the workshop
highlights the latest developments in:
* NLOS identification & mitigation ranging/positioning algorithms;
* Field tests of location systems and propagation and modeling
studies for indoor ranging (TOA/RSS/AOA);
* PHY/MAC algorithms/procedures for communication and positioning
needs;
* Positioning algorithms combined with short range ad-hoc
communications;
* Signal processing techniques for (seamless) indoor/outdoor
localization;
* Cooperative, cognitive, and machine learning techniques in
heterogeneous wireless communication and sensor networks;
* Hybrid positioning using both wireless communications and
satellite navigation systems;
* Active and passive localization/communication systems for RFID
applications.
This Workshop is organized in part by the FP7 EU Research Projects
NEWCOM++ (www.newcom-project.eu) and WHERE/WHERE2 (www.ict-where.eu /
