Abstract
The coming requirements of greater accuracy and reliability in a range of challenging environments for a multitude of missioncritical applications require a multisensor approach and an over-arching methodology that does not yet exist. The likelihood depends on both the positioning method and the context, both environmental and behavioral. Urban and indoor positioning techniques that do not require dedicated infrastructure are particularly vulnerable to ambiguity. Even where a signal of opportunity is identifiable, the transmission site may change without warning. For example, Wi-Fi access points are sometimes moved and mobile phone networks are periodically refigured. Thus, there is a risk of false landmark identification. The pattern-matching positioning method maintains a database of measurable parameters that vary with position. Examples include terrain height, magnetic field variations, Wi-Fi signal strengths, and GNSS signal availability information.
