Wireless location-aware networking

手持无线通信设备现在在加拿大社会几乎无处不在。无线设备的用户要求允许他们在移动的时充分利用通信能力的应用。该项目的目标是将位置感知集成到无线局域网和无线城域网中，例如基于IEEE 802.11和802.16的网络，因此这些网络的用户和运营商可以充分利用这些网络提供的移动性和连续连接性。 这种集成包括寻找新的位置估计技术以及开发使用位置信息的应用程序。

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.
