Location-based
Services: Fundamentals and Applications
This book explains the fundamentals and operation of LBSs and gives
a thorough introduction to the key technologies and organizational
procedures, offering comprehensive coverage of positioning methods,
location protocols and service platforms, alongside an overview of
interfaces, languages, APIs and middleware with examples demonstrating
their usage. This comprehensive guide will be invaluable to undergraduate
and postgraduate students and lecturers in the area of telecommunications.
It will also be a useful resource to developers and researchers seeking to
expand their knowledge in this field.

Location
Based Services
The purpose of this book is to describe, in an accessible fashion,
the various concepts underlying mobile location-based services. These
range from general application-related ideas to technical aspects. Each
chapter starts with a high level of abstraction and drills down to the
technical details. Contributors examine each application from all
necessary perspectives, namely, requirements, services, data, and
scalability. An illustrative example begins early in the book and runs
throughout, serving as a reference.

Creating
Location Services for the Wireless Web: Professional Developer's Guide
Location services are emerging as one of the most important and
anticipated tools of the new wireless Web. For instance, these services
enable you to instantly get a map of where you are using your handheld
device. Or, by pressing one key, you can retrieve the yellow pages for
your location. But there is an entire system behind the convenience that
delivers a user's location to the Web server. In this book, noted author
Johan Hjelm covers the all-important standards that will enable location
application development, and describes the architecture and operation of
those services. Concentrating on the convergence between GPS (Global
Positioning Systems) and positioning in the mobile network, the book also
talks about the GIS (Geographical Information Services) standards and how
to build a Web site that uses them.

Wireless
Location in CDMA Cellular Radio Systems
Wireless Location in CDMA Cellular Radio Systems investigates
methods for wireless location in CDMA networks and analyzes their
performances. Techniques for measuring location parameters (AoAs, ToAs,
etc.) are presented along with algorithms for calculating position from
those parameters. Several impairments to accurate location are covered and
analyzed including multipath propagation, non-line-of-sight propagation,
and multiple-access interference. Many of the topics in this book are also
applicable to FDMA- and TDMA-based communication networks.

Positioning
Systems in Intelligent Transportation Systems
Positioning systems, which determine the location of cars, trucks,
buses, trains, and airplanes, are critical in the use of intelligent
transport systems (ITS) to improve the efficiency and safety of transport
systems while making them less congested and less polluting. This book is
the first integrated study of the role of positioning systems in ITS, the
major types of positioning systems, the relationship between them, and
methods for evaluating their performance.
The content is also unique in that it covers the construction and
use of maps for positioning, addresses the Global Positioning System
(GPS), and discusses emerging positioning technologies such as Quiktrak
and cellular mobile telephones. In addition, the book examines both the
role of positioning in the architecture of ITS — and the suitability of
various positioning systems for specific applications. Case studies
further illustrate a method for analyzing ITS positioning requirements.
