Summary
This article addresses reliable and robust positioning systems in the absence of suitable infrastructure. In particular, we focus on self-positioning of goods in logistic control briefly, describe the physical layer specifications of the IEEE 802.15.4a Standard, explain the relevant positioning techniques, and show how the IEEE 802.15.4a Standard can be used to solve a variety of problems while using one and the same hardware.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der Problematik verlässlicher und robuster Positionierungssysteme bei fehlenden infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen. Insbesondere wird auf Güterüberwachung näher eingegangen, der IEEE 802.15.4a-Standard auf physikalischer Ebene zusammengefasst, weiters werden die relevanten Positionierungsalgorithmen erklärt und gezeigt, dass mit IEEE 802.15.4a-kompatiblen Signalen mehrere Problemstellungen durch Verwendung ein und derselben Hardware gelöst werden können.
