About performance requirements set against consumer-grade geolocation technologies

Abstract

With ever-newer forms of indoor geolocation coupled with the widely increasing number of location-based services, the requirements set towards consumer-grade geolocation technologies shows an ever broadening range. Typical consumer geolocation technologies are analyzed based on performance aspect for use with location-based services. The handling of challenges in RSSI-based technological solutions is elaborated. Based on findings of the analysis a comprehensive model for performance requirements of geolocation services is presented.
