Standardized Localization Service

Abstract

Individual localization services seldom satisfy the requirements for accurate, robust, punctual, and seamless location information. To enhance the provisioning, a set of challenges has to be addressed, pertaining to handover, fusion, and integration of individual localization services. In the following, we advertise the Standardized Localization Service (SLSR), a middleware architecture for achieving those goals. We instantiate the SLSR in a office-like indoor environment and evaluate its performance in a specifically designed testbed for evaluation of indoor localization approaches. Our results typify the contributions of different functional components envisioned in the SLSR on its overall performance.
