An investigation into the viability of using radio signal strength across multiple frequencies for personnel tracking

Location systems for tracking people and objects have many potential applications, such as: safety, security, logistics, control, surveillance and automation. GPS is such a system, but does not work accurately indoors. This project was initiated to further investigate a location technique developed...

Description
Summary:Location systems for tracking people and objects have many potential applications, such as: safety, security, logistics, control, surveillance and automation. GPS is such a system, but does not work accurately indoors. This project was initiated to further investigate a location technique developed by Microsoft Research, using a wireless local area network with one mobile network point, and measuring the radio signal strength of the network communications between the mobile and fixed points. This project attempted to improve on this technique by investigating whether additional information and accuracy could be achieved by measuring signal strength over a range of frequencies.
