POSITION DETECTION AND LOCATION TRACKING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for performing real-time position detection and motion tracking of mobile communications devices (120) moving about in a defined space comprised of a plurality of locales is provided. A plurality of access points (110) are disposed about the space to provide an interface between mobile devices and a network having functionality and data available or accessible therefrom. Knowledge of adjacency of locales may be used to better determine the location of the mobile device as it transitions between locales and feedback may be proceed to monitor the status and configuration of the access points.
