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. ...
