Radio systems capable of localization have emerging applications inhomeland security, law enforcement, emergency response, defensecommand and control, multi-robot coordination andvehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision avoidance.In fact, high resolution localization is vital for manyapplications, including: traffic alert, emergency services, e.g.,indoor localization for firefighters, and battlefield command andcontrol. These systems promise to dramatically reduce society'svulnerabilities to catastrophic events and improve its quality ofof life.
While work this important area is progressing, limited resourcesare available to support graduate students and researchers in thisimportant area. Specifically, a limited number of books has beenpublished in this area covering selected subjects. Thiscomprehensive handbook offers gaps of available localization bookspresenting in-depth coverage from fundamentals of coordinates toadvanced application examples.
