This new resource presents a comprehensive view of radio-frequency (RF) positioning. The book is organized to allow readers to progress at a fast pace, from the fundamentals of RF positioning, to the use of advanced tools such as artificial intelligence algorithms and application development environments.The first part of the book covers the fundamentals of RF localization. The second part addresses the application of those fundamentals in several types of wireless networks and technologies as Cellular Networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sensor Networks, Ultra Wide Band, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems. The third part brings several tools to allow rapid development of positioning applications for mobile devices, as well as to support implementation, usage, deployment, and research of localization algorithms.

"It is an excellent book that provides direct and precise language that engineers need to know about location. The authors start with a historical overview which I found to be very important, as it indicates the evolution of the technology. The book covers basic techniques like TOA and AOA and its applications in fingerprinting, cellular, WLAN, GNSS and Bluetooth. It is the most comprehensive work I seen about the subject. It also gives the future evolution of location and presents tools that can be used by professionals. This is a must read." - CelPlan Technologies, Inc.

"Anyone working in positioning systems and their multiple applications will find this book as an invaluable reference in the topic with a complete compendium of techniques and methods used in the different RF positioning approaches, as well as the fundamentals in which they are based." - University of Alcala, Spain

"Geographical positioning has attracted considerable interest during the last decades. The ubiquity of the Global Positioning System (GPS) through the mobile devices has eased the spreading of this concept. However, the exciting field of RF positioning has shown to be much wider than a set of techniques related to the GPS. This is the motto of the book "RF Positioning: Fundamental, Applications and Tools", by Rafael S. Campos and Lisandro Lovisolo. This superb work has been conceived along almost a decade of research activities, in which the authors dealt with different aspects of the theme, like algorithms, protocols and services. Such experience allows Drs. Campos and Lovisolo to provide an up to date, complete and original manuscript. For a long time RF positioning deserved a text worthy of its importance, the present book definitively fills this gap." - University of Campinas (FEEC-UNICAMP), Brazil
