smart cities Article Mobile Networks and Internet of Things Infrastructures to Characterize Smart Human Mobility Luís Rosa 1,* , Fábio Silva 1,2 and Cesar Analide 1 1 ALGORITMI Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] (F.S.); [email protected] (C.A.) 2 CIICESI, School of Management and Technology, Politécnico do Porto, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The evolution of Mobile Networks and Internet of Things (IoT) architectures allows one to rethink the way smart cities infrastructures are designed and managed, and solve a number of problems in terms of human mobility. The territories that adopt the sensoring era can take advantage of this disruptive technology to improve the quality of mobility of their citizens and the rationalization of their resources. However, with this rapid development of smart terminals and infrastructures, as well as the proliferation of diversified applications, even current networks may not be able to completely meet quickly rising human mobility demands. Thus, they are facing many challenges and to cope with these challenges, different standards and projects have been proposed so far. Accordingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilized as a new paradigm for the design and optimization of mobile networks with a high level of intelligence. The objective of this work is to identify and discuss the challenges of mobile networks, alongside IoT and AI, to characterize smart human mobility and to discuss some workable solutions to these challenges. Finally, based on this discussion, we propose paths for future smart human mobility researches. -

Although there has been progress with E911 and NG911, locating cell phone callers remains a major obstacle for 911 dispatchers. This white papers gives an overview of techniques used by the 911 Help SMS App to more accurately locate victims indoors and outdoors when using smartphones. Background Location information is not only transmitted to the call center for the purpose of sending emergency services to the scene of the incident, it is used by the wireless network operator to determine to which PSAP to route the call. With regards to E911 Phase 2, wireless network operators must provide the latitude and longitude of callers within 300 meters, within six minutes of a request by a PSAP. To locate a mobile telephone geographically, there are two general approaches. One is to use some form of radiolocation from the cellular network; the other is to use a Global Positioning System receiver built into the phone itself. Radiolocation in cell phones use base stations. Most often this is done through triangulation between radio towers. White Paper: 911 Help SMS App 2 Problem GPS accuracy varies and could incorrectly place the victim’s location at their neighbor’s home. -

Solving the Multilateration Problem Without Iteration
Article Solving the Multilateration Problem without Iteration Thomas H. Meyer 1 and Ahmed F. Elaksher 2,* 1 Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269-4087, USA; [email protected] 2 Geomatics Program, College of Engineering, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The process of positioning, using only distances from control stations, is called trilateration (or multilateration if the problem is over-determined). The observation equation is Pythagoras’s formula, in terms of the summed squares of coordinate differences and, thus, is nonlinear. There is one observation equation for each control station, at a minimum, which produces a system of simultaneous equations to solve. Over-determined nonlinear systems of simultaneous equations are typically solved using iterative least squares after forming the system as a truncated Taylor’s series, omitting the nonlinear terms. This paper provides a linearization of the observation equation that is not a truncated infinite series—it is exact—and, thus, is solved exactly, with full rigor, without iteration and, thus, without the need of first providing approximate coordinates to seed the iteration. However, there is a cost of requiring an additional observation beyond that required by the non-linear approach. The examples and terminology come from terrestrial land surveying, but the method is fully general: it works for, say, radio beacon positioning, as well. The approach can use slope distances directly, which avoids the possible errors introduced by atmospheric refraction into the zenith-angle observations needed to provide horizontal distances. -
Part V: the Global Positioning System ______
PART V: THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM ______________________________________________________________________________ 5.1 Background The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based, passive, three dimensional navigational system operated and maintained by the Department of Defense (DOD) having the primary purpose of supporting tactical and strategic military operations. Like many systems initially designed for military purposes, GPS has been found to be an indispensable tool for many civilian applications, not the least of which are surveying and mapping uses. There are currently three general modes that GPS users have adopted: absolute, differential and relative. Absolute GPS can best be described by a single user occupying a single point with a single receiver. Typically a lower grade receiver using only the coarse acquisition code generated by the satellites is used and errors can approach the 100m range. While absolute GPS will not support typical MDOT survey requirements it may be very useful in reconnaissance work. Differential GPS or DGPS employs a base receiver transmitting differential corrections to a roving receiver. It, too, only makes use of the coarse acquisition code. Accuracies are typically in the sub- meter range. DGPS may be of use in certain mapping applications such as topographic or hydrographic surveys. DGPS should not be confused with Real Time Kinematic or RTK GPS surveying. Relative GPS surveying employs multiple receivers simultaneously observing multiple points and makes use of carrier phase measurements. Relative positioning is less concerned with the absolute positions of the occupied points than with the relative vector (dX, dY, dZ) between them. 5.2 GPS Segments The Global Positioning System is made of three segments: the Space Segment, the Control Segment and the User Segment. -
Wi-Fi- Based Indoor Positioning System Using Smartphones
IoT Wi-Fi- based Indoor Positioning System Using Smartphones Author: Suyash Gupta Abstract The demand for Indoor Location Based Services (LBS) is increasing over the past years as smartphone market expands. There's a growing interest in developing efficient and reliable indoor positioning systems for mobile devices. Smartphone users can get their fixed locations according to the function of the GPS receiver. This is the primary reason why there is a huge demand for real-time location information of mobile users. However, the GPS receiver is often not effective in indoor environments due to signal attenuation, even as the major positioning devices have a powerful accuracy for outdoor positioning. Using Wi-Fi signal strength for fingerprint-based approaches attract more and more attention due to the wide deployment of Wi-Fi access points or routers. Indoor positioning problem using Wi-Fi signal fingerprints can be viewed as a machine-learning task to be solved mathematically. This whitepaper proposes an efficient and reliable Wi-Fi real-time indoor positioning system using fingerprinting algorithm. The proposed positioning system comprises of an Android App equipped with the same algorithms, which is tested and evaluated in multiple indoor scenarios. Simulation and testing results show that the proposed system is a feasible LBS solution. © Talentica Software (I) Pvt Ltd. 2018 Contents 1. Introduction 3 2.
