Overview

This book covers the principles, methods, and state-of-the-art applications of positioning and sensing across both ground-based and aerial wireless networks.

Introduction to Metrics and Techniques

The first two chapters introduce key performance metrics and measurement techniques along with enabling tools.

Radio-Frequency Implementations

In the next two chapters, this book examines radio-frequency implementations over Wi-Fi systems, followed by visible-light positioning systems.

Fusion-Based Strategies

Building on these chapters, fusion-based strategies demonstrate how inertial sensors, floor plans, and environmental constraints can be integrated via adaptive filter to enhance positioning accuracy.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle–Assisted Positioning

Subsequent chapters explore unmanned aerial vehicle–assisted positioning.

Integrated Sensing–Communication Frameworks

Finally, this book presents integrated sensing–communication frameworks that design joint UAV Trajectory and resource allocations to deliver simultaneous connectivity and environmental awareness.

Target Audience and Applications

This book targets graduate-level students and researchers working in computer science and electrical engineering as well as industry engineers. It offers both theoretical foundations and practical guidelines to develop next-generation wireless networks and beyond positioning and sensing solutions.
