520    Positioning in Wireless Communications Systems explains 
       the principal differences and similarities of wireless 
       communications systems and navigation systems. It 
       discusses scenarios that are critical for dedicated 
       navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System 
       (GPS), and which motivate the use of positioning based on 
       terrestrial wireless communication systems. The book 
       introduces approaches for determining parameters that are 
       dependent on the position of the mobile terminal and also 
       discusses iterative algorithms to estimate and track 
       positions. Models for radio propagation and user mobility 
       are important for performance investigations and 
       assessments using computer simulations. Thus, channel and 
       mobility models are explored, particularly focusing on 
       critical navigation environments such as urban and indoor 
       scenarios. Positioning in Wireless Communications Systems 
       examines advanced algorithms such as hybrid data fusion of
       satellite navigation, and positioning with wireless 
       communications and cooperative positioning among mobile 
       terminals. The performance of the discussed positioning 
       techniques are explored on the basis of already existing 
       and operable terrestrial wireless communication systems 
       such as GSM, UMTS, or LTE and how positioning issues are 
       fixed in respective standards is shown. Written by 
       industry experts working at the cutting edge of 
       technological development, the authors are well-placed to 
       give an excellent viewpoint on this topic, enabling in-
       depth coverage of current developments. Key features, 
       Unique in its approach to dealing with a heterogeneous 
       system approach, different cell structures, and signal 
       proposals for future communications systems. Covers hybrid
       positioning investigating .bow GNSS and wireless 
       communications positioning complement each other. 
       Applications and exploitation of positioning information 
       are discussed to show the benefits of including this 
       information in several parts of a wireless communications 
       system. Book jacket
