Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a Fusion System that combines data from different communication and location sensors (WiFi, GPS, Cell-Id) to provide consumer location-based services with the best available position estimate. In practice, this location manager is a light module, designed to run in a mobile device and ready to be used by any application requiring seamless indoor/outdoors positioning information. It automatically manages hand-offs among different localization systems. Its logic is based on a decision tree built on an initial set of Quality of Location parameters.
