Academic Keynote:
Moe Win (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA): Network Localization and Navigation: a Comprehensive View
The availability of positional information is of extreme importance in numerous commercial, health-care, public safety, and military applications. The coming years will see the emergence of location-aware networks with sub-meter localization accuracy, minimal infrastructure, and robustness in harsh (GPS challenged) environments. To reach this goal we advocate network localization and navigation (NLN), a new paradigm that exploits a combination of wideband transmission and spatiotemporal cooperation. In particular, our work has addressed this problem from three perspectives: theoretical framework, cooperative algorithms, and network experimentation. The theoretical framework provides the fundamental performance bounds and insights into NLN. Cooperative algorithms are designed to approach these bounds, resulting in dramatic performance improvements over traditional techniques. Network experimentation enables system designers to determine important attributes of physical environments and to develop realistic models. We will give a brief technical overview of our research results in the field of NLN.
Industry Keynote:
Ciaran Connell (CEO) & Michael McLaughlin (CTO), DecaWave, Ireland: Silicon for Precision Indoor Location at Performance, Price and Power Consumption Points That Enable Mass Adoption
The World is demanding indoor location and all the attendant services it can deliver; services that leverage precision ranging, precision location and precision association. But this requires infrastructure and cheap small tags. The infrastructure (in WLAN APs or proprietary APs) demands a minimum Non line of sight (NLOS) performance. The services envisaged demand superior precision and reliability. Tag manufacturers demand a compelling price and power profile. And so a chip must be brought to market that conforms to an industry standard (thereby allowing proliferation) which enables breakthrough performance in LOS and NLOS range, precision and reliability, whilst operating in the harsh realities of indoors where multipath and narrowband interference are a challenge. Chips compliant to IEEE802.15.4a are such chips. But they must be at price points and power points that enable mass adoption. DecaWave’s DW1000 is such a chip and it goes into mass production in 2013. How does the standard deliver such performance and how does DecaWave realise it so convincingly. And what are the market verticals that are moving first and stimulating the build out.
To describe how the chip and standard work, Mr Laughlin the co Founder and CTO of DecaWave will present. To describe how the part is positioned and being adopted, Mr Connell the co Founder and CEO of DecaWave will present. In short, DecaWave will present the vision and the realisation of the vision for indoor location.
