Aleksandar Jovicic, Ivan Klimek, Cyril Measson, Tom Richardson, Lei Zhang
2012 2012 46th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS)  
The key innovation in our approach is a stochastic parametric model for the fingerprint map that is adaptively tuned using on-line position estimates.  ...  The framework naturally extends to enable cooperative positioning in a network of mobile devices and we study the case of vehicle positioning as an illustration.  ...  In practice, the likelihood function is not a priori known with high accuracy and one of the key tasks that we address in this paper is how to efficiently estimate it.  ...
