Mobile user positioning in public land mobile networks by using methods based on support vector machines.

Tokom prethodnih godina, potreba za podrškom sve većeg broja LBS (Location Based Services) servisa dovela je do intezivnog razvoja tehnika za pozicioniranje mobilnih korisnika (objekata) u radio sistemima. Pri tom, zahtevi koje sistemi za pozicioniranje treba da ispune, prvenstveno po pitanju tačnosti, ali i po pitanju kašnjenja, dostupnosti servisa, kompleksnosti i cene implementacije, postaju sve strožiji...Over the last years, the necessity of providing the support for various Location Based Services (LBS) has led to the intensive development of the techniques for mobile user (objects) positioning in radio systems. At the same time, the requirements that need to be fulfilled by the positioning technique in terms of accuracy, latency, availability, complexity and implementation costs, are getting higher..

Recent Advances in Indoor Localization Systems and Technologies

Despite the enormous technical progress seen in the past few years, the maturity of indoor localization technologies has not yet reached the level of GNSS solutions. The 23 selected papers in this book present the recent advances and new developments in indoor localization systems and technologies, propose novel or improved methods with increased performance, provide insight into various aspects of quality control, and also introduce some unorthodox positioning methods

Smart Urban Water Networks

This book presents the paper form of the Special Issue (SI) on Smart Urban Water Networks. The number and topics of the papers in the SI confirm the growing interest of operators and researchers for the new paradigm of smart networks, as part of the more general smart city. The SI showed that digital information and communication technology (ICT), with the implementation of smart meters and other digital devices, can significantly improve the modelling and the management of urban water networks, contributing to a radical transformation of the traditional paradigm of water utilities. The paper collection in this SI includes different crucial topics such as the reliability, resilience, and performance of water networks, innovative demand management, and the novel challenge of real-time control and operation, along with their implications for cyber-security. The SI collected fourteen papers that provide a wide perspective of solutions, trends, and challenges in the contest of smart urban water networks. Some solutions have already been implemented in pilot sites (i.e., for water network partitioning, cyber-security, and water demand disaggregation and forecasting), while further investigations are required for other methods, e.g., the data-driven approaches for real time control. In all cases, a new deal between academia, industry, and governments must be embraced to start the new era of smart urban water systems

Intelligent Sensor Networks

In the last decade, wireless or wired sensor networks have attracted much attention. However, most designs target general sensor network issues including protocol stack (routing, MAC, etc.) and security issues. This book focuses on the close integration of sensing, networking, and smart signal processing via machine learning. Based on their world-class research, the authors present the fundamentals of intelligent sensor networks. They cover sensing and sampling, distributed signal processing, and intelligent signal learning. In addition, they present cutting-edge research results from leading experts
