Summary
This article introduces a hybrid communications and positioning system, developed in the course of the EU-endorsed RESOLUTION project. The system provides a reconfigurable, embedded hardware platform fit to support a variety of deployment scenarios. The flexibility of our solution is assessed by means of a comprehensive system simulation.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel stellt ein hybrides Kommunikations- und Lokalisierungssystem vor, das im Zuge des EU-Projektes RESOLUTION entwickelt wird. Das System basiert auf einer rekonfigurierbaren, integrierten Hardwareplattform, die eine breite Palette von Anwendungsfällen unterstützt. Die Flexibilität der vorgestellten Lösung demonstrieren die Autoren anhand einer umfassenden Systemsimulation.
