Abstract : Standardized Localization Service

Individual localization services seldom satisfy the requirements for accurate, robust, punctual, and seamless location information. To enhance the provisioning, a set of challenges has to be addressed, pertaining to handover, fusion, and integration of individual localization services. In the following, we advertise the Standardized Localization Service (SLSR), a middleware architecture for achieving those goals. We instantiate the SLSR in a oce-like indoor environment and evaluate its performance in a speci€cally designed testbed for evaluation of indoor localization approaches. Our results typify the contributions of di‚erent functional components envisioned in the SLSR on its overall performance.
