Handheld wireless communications devices are now nearly ubiquitous in Canadian society. Users of wireless devices are demanding applications that allow them to take full advantage of the ability to communicate while they are mobile. The objective of this project is to integrate location awareness into wireless local area and wireless metropolitan area networks, such as IEEE 802.11 and 802.16 based networks, so the users and operators of these networks may take full advantage of the mobility and continuous connectivity offered by these networks. This integration consists of finding new location estimation technologies as well as the development of applications that use location information.
