Abstract

The need for location based services has dramatically increased within the past few years, especially with the popularity and capability of mobile device such as smart phones and tablets. The limitation of GPS for indoor positioning has seen an increase of indoor positioning based on Wireless Local Area Network 802.11. The authors demonstrate here a real world application of determining one's location with the Cisco Context-Aware Mobility which provides a Real Time Location System solution based on Wi-Fi. They detail their implementation of an Android application which communicates with the Cisco Context-Aware Mobility system to visually display the location of the mobile device. The application was tested in a production environment and limitations in the production environment along with the diagnostic capabilities of the Context-Aware Mobility were identified. The authors found that to obtain optimal accuracy, a device must be detected by four or more Access points so a recommended distribution for an indoor positioning system built on the Cisco context-aware mobility framework is for an Access Point to be placed every 12 – 20 linear meters.
