Abstract: Localization or positioning is an important aspect of mobile applications in order to achieve context-aware applications. The main goal for localization process is estimating the position of a mobile device in its environment based on a set of sensors with known positions. Modern mobile devices produced nowadays, and almost all smartphones and PDAs, have one or more wireless communication interfaces in order to communicate with other devices. WLAN infrastructure is a widely accepted and implemented communication standard in many indoor environment, therefore many buildings are already equipped with IEEE 802.11 WLAN infrastructure access points. Wireless adapters the modern mobile devices are equipped with can monitor radio power strength of the emitting sources nearby. Based on the received radio signal strength an estimation of distance between the device and power source can be computed. In this paper we want to describe and conclude our work regarding the possib!
ility to design a simple and energy efficient positioning solution to be implemented on mobile devices with limited resources.
Keywords: wireless positioning systems, radio signal strength, energy efficiency, trilateration
