AICTE QIP Short Term Course
Location Tracking for Internet of Things
A compact six-day course on localization technologies for IoT systems, moving from GPS and ranging fundamentals to fingerprinting, inertial sensing, and emerging location-enabled applications.
Course Contents
- Day 1: Motivation and use cases of localization technologies and how they apply to IoT. Working of GPS for outdoor localization.
- Day 2: Time of Arrival (ToA), trilateration and multilateration, wireless ranging, and Two-Way Ranging using WiFi and UWB examples.
- Day 3: Limits of ToA, scaling to more devices, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Angle of Arrival (AoA), and anchor-free localization using MDS.
- Day 4: Fingerprinting-based localization, wireless pathloss and attenuation, and the use of machine learning for signal-map creation and location prediction.
- Day 5: Inertial sensing using IMUs including accelerometers, gyroscopes, and compasses, along with pedestrian dead reckoning.
- Day 6: Recent research trends, industry standards, and future applications including AR/VR, public safety, and smart homes.
