    Abstract

    This paper deals with the problem of personal localization and guidance in indoor environments. The authors analyze different technologies which can be applied to this task. The goal is to provide users with the most accurate and reliable technology depending on users' profile. Indoor location technologies are analyzed and compared from different point of views. Relevant parameters which drive the overall system performance are highlighted. In particular, the indoor technologies studied are Bluetooth, WiFi, RFID, UWB and ultrasounds. With the aim to cover outdoor environments authors analyze technologies such as WiMAX and GPS. Finally, the indoor location system will be integrated with a GPS based outdoor localization system to provide global coverage. Based on this goal, integration issues are described and analyzed. All these investigations are within the framework of the project ELISA- Intelligent Location Environment for Assisted Services- www.elisapse.es.
