Indoor positioning system
Abstract: Indoor performance is of great interest for the network operators,
especially in office buildings and airports. Because current GPS receivers
do not work indoors, the need of gaining positions by another tool is
crucial.
Ericsson Erisoft AB develops and markets TEMS Automatic, a system that
measures the quality of service experienced by the users of the mobile
network. The Mobile Test Unit acts as a simulated subscriber and saves
measurements together with position information in logfiles.
The purpose of this thesis is to develop an indoor positioning tool, able to
generate simulated GPS positions from a map.
The tool should behave like a regular GPS receiver and communicate with a
Mobile Test Unit through a com-port by supporting two standard protocols,
TAIP and NMEA.
The indoor positioning tool will be included in the TEMS Automatic system.
