Title: User Localization in Next Generation Wireless Networks

 

Abstract

Location based applications are receiving much attention recently. Examples include Google maps, Geotagging, Find my friend, virtual reality, and mobile location-based gaming. The need for location estimation will only grow in future when new technologies and services, such as Internet-of-Things, and Smart Cities become prevalent. The gaming industry will also be another strong market for location-based services. The recent interest in playing games such as Treasure hunts and Pokémon GO and their extension into indoor environment suggest that the need for designing and developing effective location estimation technologies will continue to grow in future. In this talk, we will discuss how the new generation of smartphones can provide accurate location estimates. New smartphones are equipped with a plurality of sensors such as accelerometer, gyro, barometer, and magnetometer. Using recent advances in signal processing, we have developed precise positioning schemes that can find user’s location in covered areas where the GPS service is not available. Our technology uses RF signals received from WiFi access points or beacons, along with the readings from multiple sensors, to locate the user. Our solutions are device-agnostic, which makes them excellent candidates for crowdsourcing. In this talk, we will present some of the localization techniques and will demo our application.
