Location methods of users in WLAN are being studied because of they can provide information to other applications to taking better decisions and improving their performance. Location methods should be designed to obtain high accuracy and low computational cost. However, it is not an easy task to achieve due to high accuracy requires many calculations. In this paper, we present a location system for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure networks based on probability distributions that uses trilateration technique to determine a starting point of search. Once the starting point is inferred the search area will be limited the closest locations to this point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
