GNSS Multipath Effects
(Evans, J., 2005)
(Evans, J., 2005)
(Evans, J., 2005)
Differential Corrections
• DGPS, WAAS etc.
• Basic theory:
• Two receivers, stationary known position and
roving receiver
• Stationary receiver works out timing signals from
GNSS coordinates and its known position
• Stationary receiver compares real with receivers
• Difference is correction factor
• Transmitted in local area
Augmentation technologies
• EGNOS
• European Geostationary
Navigation Overlay
Service
• Three satellites
• Contains information
about accuracy and
reliability plus correctional
data
• Allows users to determine
position to about 5
meters
• Operational early 2006
• SISNeT
• Signal in Space over
internet
• Gives access to wide area
differential corrections
including EGNOS integrity
messages
• Gets over problems that
satellites have in urban
areas including EGNOS
EGNOS Demonstration
• Used in German round of World Rally
Championships in August
• Simultaneous recording of GPS and
EGNOS data
• Comparison of positing by displaying GPS
and EGNOS position of the car relative to
highly accurately surveyed track

RFID System
• Radio Frequency IDentification
• A complete RFID system has three key
components and maybe extended
Image: GAO
RFID System - Tags
• Quite mature technology
• Friend of Foe -1939
• Comprises of antenna
(wire coil), microchip and
is most often stuck to the
underside of a label
• Uses:
– Security (stock)
– Inventory systems
– Freight handling

RFID Tag Classification
• By power:
• Passive
– Not powered
• Active
– Has internal battery or
connected to an
external power source
– Hence greater cost
• By radio frequency
transmission ability:
• Passive RF
– Can only transmit data
by reflecting incoming
electromagnetic waves
• Active RF
– Can transmit data by
using internal power
source to power aerial
and microchip
RFID Tag Classification
• By tag type:
• Type I
– Read-only
• Type II
– Read/write
• Type II+
– As type II but with
enhanced external
features
• Type II++
– As type II but with
serial connection
• Type III
– Read/write plus LCD
display
• Type IV
– Read/write as
smartcard
RFID Sytem - Reader
• RF passive, non-powered
tags:
• Reader initiates
conversation
• Reader emits RF energy
that cause a current flow
in the antenna and
powers the chip
• Reader extracts data
from the chip via the
antenna and powers off

Proximity smartcard and reader
RFID System - Reader
• Powered, RF active tags:
• Reader or tag may initiate
conversation
• Tag uses power source to
power microchip and
send data via antenna
• Range is larger than RF
passive tags
• Read write tags may have
new data written e.g.

RFID Tags – Size and Costs
• Size: any size, from in
car units – smart
cards – stock labels –
millimetre dimensions
A 0.25mm2 RFID tag
Image: smartcode
• Cost: average price
for passive type I tags
around €0,15 - 0,40
• Ultra small in large
quantities ˜ €0,05
• More complex tags
with long
transmission range
˜ €17 ($20)
RFID Standards
• EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2 RFID
Specification
• Establishes a single UHF specification over
several previous ones
• Sets minimum read and write speeds to
500 / 30 tags/sec
RFID for Localisation
• RFID tags in
doorways, lifts, shop
fronts, breadcrumb
trail
• Map database
integrated into reader
• Considerations:
• Power
• Range
• Low cost simple tags

Smartdust for Localisation
• Similar characteristics
to RFID
• IEEE802.11.x
standards widely used
• Hence better
compatibility with
existing equipment
• Costs:
• Current devices are
not cheap
• ˜ €140 for MICA2
mote
• Smartdust costs will
be signifcantly lower

Summary
Conclusion
Mobile phone based technologies
• Cellular mobile phone
based
• GSM (TDMA)
– Triangulation method gives
horizontal accuracy of 50 –
200 meters
• 3G (CDMA)
– Smaller sized cells with
greater overlapping
accuracy more than that of
TDMA networks
– 4G phones will have GPS
chips inside to allow the
phone to calculate it’s
position
Mobile phone based technologies
• Mobile Phone Features
• Good in urban areas
where cells overlap
• Can be used indoors with
additional network access
points e.g. Metrocentre
though leaky coaxial not
suitable
• Tend to have good
network strength around
major road networks
• Limited signal in remote
areas
Wireless Networks
• Wireless networks
• Infrastructure based
– e.g. university network,
device can detect range to
nearest access points and
calculate position
• Mobile ad-hoc
– Allows information from
devices with knowledge to
pass to other devices and
so on e.g. traffic jams
• Bluetooth
• Smartdust
Key Issues
1. Technology must be compatible with the
users mode of travel and application
area
2. Accuracy of localisation signal
3. Compatibility with existing equipment
4. Unit cost
5. Combination & redundancy of
technologies
